Hmmm, I hadn't thought of that. But yeah, there's going to be a bit of stress to be absorbed. Sure hope this works out!what kind of thinset did you use given that this is going to flex, wobble and go bump in the night much more than your sticks and bricks wall ever would?
The adhesive and the grout are special rubber products compounded for tiling surfaces that flex.Noice! I like how you didn’t cut it off and went floor to ceiling with it. I did the same in my house when remodeling it a few years ago.
here’s a more practical question - what kind of thinset did you use given that this is going to flex, wobble and go bump in the night much more than your sticks and bricks wall ever would?
Would love to see photos.I have done the same in my FR Surveyor. Instead of using real tile that is heavy, and possibly might not hold up over thousands of miles (we put over 8,000 miles in the past 7 weeks), I have taken large flexible floor tiles (Lowe’s Hardware) that look just like stone and cut them using a table saw into “pavers” of altering lengths. Although these tiles have a sticky back I also used construction adhesive to glue them in place. I then used the silicone sandy grout (the recommended product for these tiles and color). It looks like real stone (I varied 2 colors) and unless you touch it you would never know it is not real stone. This is certainly much more durable as a splash guard than the wallpaper that was there and it is holding up great!
