Tiling

Priming new plaster before tiling

Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.54 PM

I have used Dulux plaster sealer on new kitchen plaster where it will be painted, is it ok to use it on splash back and sink areas where I plan to tile? Hoping to use thin brick slip effect tiles.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

There are to many trades ,saying pva is ok as a primer for tiling this is not the done thing as pva breaks down when wet ,for tiling you need to use an apd or sbr primer.

All ways buy the primer what Is suitable for the adhesive. Some primers not mix with other adhesive.

I personally would always use pva glued thinned 4 water to 1 pva and give it two coat quick drying and cheaper you can use when wallpapering tiling anything that needs sealing works a treat hope this helps

You should really be using an acrylic based bonding agent.once it has dried it will stay dry and not become breakdown like pva does. Most tile shops will stock a small bottle with instructions on how to achieve the correct dillution.
