Tile on tile?

[Pappa1986]

Hello.

I'm in the process of putting up tiles.
Can they be attached on top of the old tiles?
If this is possible, how do you make a neat finish since it may have built out
2-3cm in total?
A custom-made trim maybe?
Best regards

It's generally fine. Follow the instructions for the primer. You usually prime and sprinkle adhesive powder before drying, so the adhesive sticks.

We have tile on tile in the kitchen after the first tiler messed up the spacing. It looked nice on the edge with a nicely applied last grouting. No trim.

It generally works well. Follow the instructions for primer. You usually prime and sprinkle fix powder before drying, so that the fix then adheres.

Ok, thanks for the response.
The key is to get the grouting right in the end
And if I fail, I guess I'll just have to use a trim

If you want molding, you should probably plan for it from the beginning so the heights are right. But grouting is not difficult - smear it on, drag with your finger, wipe the tiles.

Thinking mostly because we have an "open ending"
The tiles don't go into the wall, so you see the edge and I'm wondering if it will look good when it's that thick?

You never normally stand in such a way that you see it as in the lower picture.
