Question:

Will sheetrock fall with tiles?

A week and a half a go I put eight 23 1/2‘‘ x 23 1/2 tiles on my sheetrock wall as a headboard and I can sometimes hear it crack! Will it fall?

Answer:

www.okorder Decorating USA provides shutters and other window covering products at 61% Discount price. Just a few days back I purchased plantation shutters from them and their service is satisfactory ! They provided FREE installation and consultation. They are most famous for quick and excellent customer support. You can see their variety of shutters, shades, blinds, drapes and curtains. After purchasing, you will thank me for this answer :)
Sheetrock is not the best base for tiles. If the tiles start to pull away, they will pull the paper face away as well. It would be best to fix a sheet of fibre-cement to the wall first. Then seal the sheet before fixing the tiles.
heck no! Ive seen tiles installed ritght onto sheet rock in wet arias as in bathroom shower! as far as the papper delamanating from the rock? hell no!!! ur good pal! If u hear cracking, Its not the tiles falling off. maybe the rock seperating from the studs, or the stus sressing out. think of it this way, when you go to hang a heany pic or mirror to the wall u usaly attach to the studs...what you could have done is reinforce the rock (add more screws) then did ur work. right now the rock should be attached with 1 1/4 screws at least with a nail pattern of 6 inch on perimiter and 12 inch in field. hope this info helps! I think ur good pal!
