Hello
New house that was built late last year, and we moved in back in June. My bathroom is a wet bathroom, and by that I mean it has a tiled floor with drainage. The problem is the tiling on the walls only goes up about 10 inches. The rest of the wall is painted sheetrock / drywall.
I want to tile the wall about 5 feet high , and should be able to withstand water being sprayed / hosed on the walls without letting any of it pass through the joints to the drywall. Can some link me to good online sources on how to do this?
Do I need to sand all the paint off before I affix the tiles?
Do I need to apply a primer before laying on the tile adhesive?
Do I need to cover the wall with a vapor barrier before applying tile adhesive or a primer?
What kind of adhesive do I use for tile, that is waterproof? Is it thinset?
For the grouting, what product do I use and do I need to seal the grout lines ? If so what kind of sealer?
Thanks
