This paper surveys the causes of failures in ceramic wall tiling. It is concluded that the physical properties of tiles should be carefully analysed at the time of their selection, and quality rather than colour and texture should be the main selection criterion.
Recognition and understanding of varying properties of the different background materials to which the tiles are attached is of vital importance. The need for speedy construction unfortunately often results in the application of wall tiling on uncured wall surfaces; for example, on green concrete or clay masonry wall built from freshly made bricks. Resulting irreversible movements, either due to shrinkage in reinforced concrete and concrete and calcium silicate masonry, or natural growth in clay masonry, combined with a variety of reversible movements, are detrimental to the adhesion bond between tiles and background.
Equally important is the knowledge of the different types of fixing agents and their application on different background materials. The author concludes that both designers and contractors must exercise greater care in designing and supervising internal wall tiling operations.
