Prepare & clean a kitchen for tiling Any tiling job will only be as good as the surface it’s laid on. It’s important to ensure that, no matter what surface you’re tiling on, the surface is sound, level and clean of dust and debris. Plasterboard is one of the most common indoor wall surfaces, but is not suitable for tiling without waterproofing. Tiling over plasterboard involves adhering tiles to a paper surface, and although this will present little problem in dry areas, if the wallboard is subject to moisture, it may deteriorate causing failure. Plasterboard should be waterproofed before tiling. Information on other types of wall surfaces can be found on the Tiling Wall and Floor Surfaces page on our website.
tip:
Before you begin tiling a kitchen splashback, ensure that the back of the benchtop is siliconed to the wall.
