Can I tile over a textured walls? - how to renovate a fireplace
My current sheetrocked fireplace and has a textured surface. (More gray walls that are an orange peel, click Finish.) I want to renew the goal fireplace with slate tiles and a new home.
I use the tiles on the wall with texture? If yes, what was the intention of thinset to use a painted wall? Or should I remove and replace the plaster or thin wall first to get rid of the texture?

Ok, back on track. First, no reason to remove drywall. Best way is to remove the contact points on the texture with a hand sander and sandpaper 80 or screen, full of sand, just about all the bad points higher if all will delete these choke your career Their fur a lot.

ReplyDeleteYou can paint the texture of the drywall and then. You can, however, some difficulty, the pictures are to stay, if the wall is greasy, dirty or too bright. Clean the first table with something like TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) to store in one color or the Department of Painting at Walmart or your paint store found.
ReplyDeleteIf the wall is uneven texture, may have trouble finding the same tiles. Try to scrape the bare wall, to respect, but careful not to damage the drywall. You can also just browse the coverage of the existing drywall, sand smooth.
Use the premixed thinset. This should stick pretty well.
It can be placed directly on a textured wall. Use a strong glue stick tile.
