Draw the bulls-eye and stick it up, draw the bulls-eye and stick it up, etc., etc. The photos of the shower I have here was in a small bathroom with limited ventilation so I waterproofed the ceiling as well.Ĭontinue to do this with the rest of your ceiling tile – every one of them, even the cut tiles. It’s a good idea and never hurts, but it isn’t always necessary.
They do not always need to be waterproof. You can accomplish the same with the $15 bag of regular modified thinset.īefore you start hanging head-bashers (ceiling tile) you should, as always, have the substrate properly prepared. Non-sag thinset is basically just thinset that is sticky – it’s great stuff! It’s also expensive stuff.
You do not need a $75 bag of non-sag thinset to tile a ceiling. Since I’m relatively certain you aren’t very interested in what doesn’t work I’ll tell you what does, it saves headaches – literally. Believe me, I’ve had more than one tile fall on my noggin before I figured out what works. The main problem people have with tiling a ceiling is getting the tile to stay where they put it.
Apparently people actually want to know how to do stuff I do – weird, right? So here you go – making your ceiling shiny. Michael has recently pointed out (a bit more eloquently than I would have) that I have indeed been a lazy bastard and have not yet written this post.
