hi guys,
can anyone tell me can i tile straight on to plasterboard or does it have to be sealed before tiling, i have built a cupboard in my bathroom and have plasterboarded it but i want to tile around the cupboard, but will it suck all the moisture out of the adhesive.
any help would be great
cheers dexbond

You can tile straight onto it

It depends on the tile adhesive, if I was tiling it I would use a cement based flexible adhesive which requires a coat of undiluted APD before tiling

Get hold of some BAL Grip for walls its ready mixed and can be applied direct to plaster board without primer
