Planning to tile the wall where we have closed up a door. It is very roughly spackled now. The painter hasn't done anything more in this section. There are existing walls to the left and right. Then comes the drywall, and the joints on the sides of the drywall are roughly spackled. The question is, can you tile directly on this drywall? In front of it will be a wood stove.
Took a level and checked. The wall is really uneven? Probably 1-1.5 cm in the worst sections? What is the easiest and best way to even this out? Can you apply only adhesive to even it out and then let it dry before applying adhesive and tiling? Afraid the tiles might crack if it's too uneven??
I wouldn't want a lot of sand putty on surfaces where I'm going to set tiles. I would fix irregularities with adhesive, not putty.
It's a bit unclear where your tile starts and ends, but on the joint between the boards, I would want a glued paper strip followed by putty as usual if it's next to the tile.
Can't you use some type of leveling compound? Finja handspackel 420DR? Is there a cheaper alternative? Thinking about if there is another brand at a budget store that is good enough to smooth the wall?
How close can you place the stove?
I used a fireproof board instead of plaster and was then able to move my soapstone stove 100 mm closer to the wall.
50 mm from the wall instead of 150 mm.
I didn't want my stove too far out from the wall, so this was as close as it could get.
