Removing Tiles From Plasterboard Walls With This Secret Tool

Описание: Newsletter ▶ https://skill-builder.uk/signup ◀

Paramount board, or "egg box board," is fragile and problematic during renovations. Made of thin plaster layers with a cardboard core, it often tears apart when removing tiles, taking chunks of the wall with it. Repairs become difficult and time-consuming, sometimes requiring full wall replacement. For tradespeople on tight schedules, it turns simple jobs into major challenges. Knowing its weaknesses is essential for minimising damage and planning effective repairs.


Tile Removal and Wall Repair Guide

🧱 Dealing with Paramount Boards

When encountering paramount (egg box) board behind tiles, proceed carefully. The board is very thin and fragile, making it easy to damage the wall during tile removal. Avoid aggressive techniques that could lead to replacing the entire wall.

🛠️ Tiling Tips from Experience

Use a careful approach to remove tiles. Instead of striking the middle of a tile, gently nibble at the edges. This method reduces the tension and helps lift tiles off without breaking the wall structure underneath.

🔄 Tile-on-Tile Insight

Tiling over existing tiles can be highly effective if done correctly. Laboratory tests have shown that tiles provide the best adhesion surface. Ensure you use a cement-based adhesive, which chemically sets within 2-3 hours, unlike tub adhesives that rely on evaporation.

🛠️ Restoration After Removal

After removing tiles, fill any holes with expanding foam or bonding material. Depending on the finish, apply a skim coat or patch bondings to prepare the surface for retiling. Partial tiling, up to a preferred height, can also be considered to match customer preferences.

🛏️ Plastering Preferences

For a polished finish, skim ceilings to eliminate outdated artex textures. A smooth, plastered ceiling enhances modern bathroom and kitchen designs, improving both aesthetics and property value.
