Walls - Supply & Fit

Generally, ceramic, porcelain, and stone tile can be installed on interior walls that are structurally stable, on plane, and consist of a suitable substrate. Suitable substrates include masonry, backer-board, gypsum board (drywall), or mortar beds. Many people, including professional tilers, like to use good quality mastics due to their extended pot life and their extended "on the wall tiling time." Good quality mastics can be applied on the wall and still be able to hang tile twice as long as portland cement thinset of equal quality. Caution must be exercised that the mastic does not "glaze over" rendering the mastic too dry to bond the tile to the wall.

  • Open Question: What colour rug would hide marks the best?

    I bought a cream rug last December and it just looks a mess as it shows every single mark on it that a baby and a dog bring with them. I've already had enough of it and want to buy a new one but don't know what colour would be best to hide the marks. My sofa is bright red and I have black and white floor tiles under the rug, so something that would look ok with these colours would be good, but really I'm just after your ideas on what would hide marks the best.

Totally waterproof.
