Re: Tile Installation Over Exterior Brick Wall
IF, however, you are trying to specify it for bidding purposes, you should specify mechanically attached lath, scratchcoat, and thinset per tile manufacturers recommendation.

Re: Tile Installation Over Exterior Brick Wall
How much wall are you talking about?
Where will you start on the bottom and finish on the top? Will you stop under a soffit? How deep is the soffit? How is the condition of the brick, why do you want to cover it? Where are you located? |
