Hi,
I am having my bathroom done by some people and I noticed something that might not be normal. Rather than spread the tile adhesive on the wall and then place the tiles on it, he has put the adhesive on the back of the tile used that grooved spreading tool for tiling to spread it over the tile (dont know what its called) and then stuck it on moisture proof plasterboard. I am no tiling expert but the way I usually see it done is to put adhesive on the wall first and the put the tiles on. He has done it in a way that I can see the green coloured plasterboard between the tiles, but wont be seen later when the grout goes in. What motivated him to do it this way? The other way of doing it seems much more stable as there is more adhesive on the wall to work with. These people seem quite good overall and I have seem examples of their other work.
Thanks
