Tiling over Wetwall

[marty949]

Hello,

First post and possibly a stupid question. Can you tile over wetwall?

I had it installed about two years ago, hate the suff really cheap looking and I am wanting to replace it without the hassle of ripping the stuff off the walls.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks

Not something I would recommend, panels normally 8mm depth and likely plenty movement to cause issues to tiles and grout.
The manner that the panels are installed, does not guarantee they will support the weight of tile and adhesive.

It would be a rip out and start again for me!

I'd second that. Its very likely to cause you headaches in the future

Thanks for the advice. I was hoping for an easy way out.

A hard choice is usually the right choice!
