Sorry I have just gone over the post and I thought that you were saying that in your previous post :oops:

So your telling me that plaster on plaster board is a better substrate than tiling just to plaster board?

It also weakens your substrate :?

Tiling over already exsisting tiles is not the best, you need to know that the tiles that are fixed on already are fixed well go around with a coin and tap the tiles to see if you get a hollow sound if you do I wouldnt tile over them I would rip them of. If they are fixed well I would only go...

If you are worried about safe weights the substrate that can take the most weightis the wedi board or hardi backer board.

Far walls I find the best substrate to be plasterboard cheap easy to fix then tank it before you tile it.

Nails are not as good as screws as they will come loose over time with the more traffic that goes over.

Yes they are the same company.
