Abstract
Ceramic claddings in the buildings are often tiled on gypsum surfaces, which mainly consist of plasters made of ready dry mixes and walls made of gypsum blocks. One should know about their specific properties, such as absorbency, smoothness and lack of chemical bonding with cement based adhesive mortars. This paper discusses the subject of assembly of ceramic claddings on such substrates and shows examples of damages caused by executive errors. The first part of the paper describes methods of preparing the surface before assembly of ceramic claddings, with particular emphasis on the proper surface priming. The principles of choosing the right mortar for tiling works are also presented. In the second part of the paper, examples of assembly errors are presented, as a result of which the ceramic claddings become detached from the gypsum surfaces. The results of measurements and observations have been described and the reasons for failure of wall claddings have been given.
