Tiling over Glass Tiles

[Rich8]

I want to cover kitchen wall tiles, with lining paper, they are Wickes Glass coloured tile on a sheet (Mosaic). Googled same question it came out with strong adhesive. So what strong adhesive does anybody reccommend.

Why would you want to paper over tiles?
You would need to prep the tiles first this would mean sanding them down for good adhesion, then filling out all the grout lines. So you can get a level surface.

What are you hoping it will look like ? Lining paper will never hide the tile profile or grout lines so you will still see them & it will look worse than it does now but with paper over it; totally naff!

Heavy duty wallpaper adhesive.
But it will look UGLY

Basicly the mosaic tiles are covering ceramic tiles which the wife hates. Now doesnt like the wickes mosaic glass tiles. So to keep from taking all the tiles off wondered if heavy duty lining paper would cover tiles, sufficient to wallpaper then have a row of tiles as a splashback.

TBH
I would take the tiles off, then repair any damage to walls and decorate as "She who must be obeyed", orders!
But I would not paper over tiles and I would not paper in a kitchen.
Lots of condensation, steam, moist air=peeling paper.

One very good reason why you should never tile over tile, it's 3 x as much effort to get them off when you need to. Even if you can get the lining paper to stick with confidence, you can't tile over it if that's what your proposing.

Perhaps you can put some splashback sheet material over the tiles - plastic, metal, glass, whatever else they make them from. Lining paper would look ridiculous imho.

one thought would be paint them with a nice green emulsion and then wallpaper with flowery wallpaper and then maybe gloss the lot with a eggshell blue.



seems no less riduculous to me.
