Tiling directly on chipboard?

[Odjuret]

Yes, Bauhaus has a reputation for having competent staff...

A friend wanted paintable caulk and got sold silicone that "would work just as well." Fun when the paint peeled off everywhere it was caulked...

Their competence seems to vary with the weather.... Fun that what Bauhaus recommended worked.... Even though it was more luck than skill... Regarding what 237 wrote....
What MaxPax writes feels more like the Bauhaus I have heard about....

I have two rounds of tiles that have come loose, so the third time I replaced the particle board and put up gypsum.

Protte

I have spoken with my control manager now. He said there were no problems. As long as you use flexfix or similar. Gypsum is preferred, but since there are already chipboards, he would never have put up gypsum as well. It will work fine anyway.

It must be better to put plasterboard outside the chipboard, partly because it is a dead material and if you want to change the tiles in the future, it is easier for you to remove it.
Better to break off plasterboard and tiles during renovation than to try to fix chipboard with tile adhesive.

is there any budget option when it's not plasterboard on the wall?
tiles on the chipboard can get expensive when and if you ever want to change the tiles

Why would it be expensive to change tiles on board???
Break off, clean, putty, new ones on.
Primer, flexfix, grout. It works well on board that is indoors with a relatively constant climate.

Particle board has never worked well in my houses, nor has the masonite board in my current house.
It's just that it's not dead material and moves all the time, and it's foolish to put work into this and have to redo it in the future.

Use root plaster as it makes it much easier the day you want to replace the tiles, and chipboard will only be like crackers when you tear off the tiles.

When my parents remodeled the kitchen in the 70s, they put masonite under the tiles. It stayed without problems until it was redone a few years ago, now with gypsum underneath, so it can certainly work with "living" materials.

Break loose, clean, fill, put on new.

because the adhesive sticks firmly to the chipboard. so you can get a large crater (or hole) when you tear off the tile. = more to fill.
on plasterboard, remove the tile. clean. prime, fix, then tile

on plasterboard, remove the tiles, clean, prime, then fix and tile

Tiles stick firmly to plasterboard too, I can inform you. I don't understand why there is such fear of "live" material behind some tiles. With flexible fix and grout, the chipboard would almost have to dance around before it cracks. And why should one care about whoever might replace the tiles in the future. That is their concern.

Tiles also stick properly to plasterboard, I can inform you. I don't understand why people are so afraid of "living" material behind some tiles. With flexible adhesive and grout, the chipboards should almost dance around before cracking. And why should anyone care about the person who might change the tiles in the future? That's their concern.

Everything depends on how good you are at tearing it down. Sure, it can hold. It's really different; it might work well for you but not for your neighbor. "That's their concern" is never a way to think, no matter what you do.

It could be oneself who changes them next time.
