Isn't it difficult to keep clean? I think that "things" easily get stuck between the tiles, or do you have them edge to edge?
Nope. Nothing got stuck. I'll try to find photos of this. It was in my previous apartment.

Edit. Managed.

Honestly, I don't understand the problem... :blushing:

Advice is given on how to solve things on this forum, yet alternative solutions that are not okay are often devised... :S

Why not just take the advice given and do what the industry requires... :rolleyes:

Glue the tiles to the chipboard with adhesive intended for this, like Fleixicol, but then you have a hell of a problem if you one day want to change the tiles...

Glue 6mm gypsum with, for example, Flexicol and set the tiles on this, and then it's somewhat easier the day you want to change...

Screw the 6mm gypsum very carefully so that the screw heads don't go in too much into the gypsum... The risk with this step is that it won't be very sturdy since you need to be careful screwing such thin gypsum and therefore it is recommended to glue that type of gypsum... However, it makes it easier when you want to change tiles, and if you have a feeling that it might be relevant, this can be an option for some.
There were 3-4 pieces of advice that were quite contradictory, hence my question. But I'm probably stupid not to understand. Lucky that people like you exist, so we beginners are encouraged to dare to ask for help.

It was absolutely not personally directed at you because it is quite often that (despite many explanations from people who explain how things should be done) other solutions are still being made up.

Like gluing with silicon, for example... ;)

Just wondered why.

Moreover, I didn't think there was much that was contradictory since the majority explained that you shouldn't tile on chipboard except in the utmost emergency, such as when you have a chipboard wall on the short end and don't want to build up with plasterboard so it becomes too thick and you see a thick ending...

Of course, you should dare to ask for help if you're unsure... That's what a forum like this is for, and I hardly think I scared you so much that you'd be afraid to ask questions... At least that wasn't my intention... ;):blushing:
 
The one who doesn't ask, learns nothing.

It is better to ask 1000 questions and do it right, than to not ask and do it wrong over and over again.
