Can you tile showers when the house is built on stumps
Page 1 of 1
By stumps do you just mean bearers and joist? If so, I don't see that it would be that out of the ordinary. My shower recess is tiled, as is the rest of the bathroom; I don't think the shower recess would be any more prone to cracking from movement than the rest of the tiled bathroom floor.
Good luck with your build
We had no issues with floor tiles and only some minor grout cracking, but over the years, the acrylic shower bases moved significantly, so that water pooled in one corner. I can't see that a tiled base would be any worse though....
Our tiles were all laid on cement sheet. None of this cementing them directly to the floorboards....thank goodness. It was hard enough ripping the nails out of the sheets when we wanted to replace the tiles.
