Can you use vinyl sheet flooring to redo a shower wall? What kind of adhesive to use over ceramic tiles?

Sure...........and you could probably use a cove base adhesive. It's drying time is slow so you would be able to move your flooring product around a little before it sets. You could probably put a couple of temporary finish nails along the top edge just to hold it from sagging, and just roll it with a J roller a little to keep it sticking. Good luck.Can you use vinyl sheet flooring to redo a shower wall? What kind of adhesive to use over ceramic tiles?
Vinyl sheet flooring as the name implies is for floors and cannot be made suitable for wall use.If you have ceramic tile you would be better off have it coated a different color by an experienced company. This process will clean the existing tile and they will then use an epoxy type coating to finish it. Another option is to remove the tile and replace it with what ever you want, this will involve a lot of tearing out and wall repair.Since you did not mention the condition of the existing tile I can not offer much more at this time.Can you use vinyl sheet flooring to redo a shower wall?

You have to remove the damage tiles before you can use vinyl sheet. No adhesive will stick to ceramic tile, there is a modified thinset mortar that will stick to ceramic tile. It sells for around 35 dollars a bag. The source site will give you instructions how to install the vinyl sheet.
Check with a kitchen, bath and tile store.


There you will be able to review a large variety of materials that can be used for your shower wall and whether vinyl is an viable option.


Whichever you select you will want to install green board as the backer for your moisture barrier.
That is a trashy idea that will look terrible and not last very long. You can remove the tiles from the shower wall and cover it with a shower and bath-tub liner or replace the tile completely.
vinyl flooring has a paper backing which with a bit of water makes a great environment for mold and it would look ugly.you can get fake tile board that can be glued up and silicone all the joints would look better and be better for your health
NO, NOT ADVISABLE, AND THE ADHESIVE WOULD NOT LAST LONG, THEY HAVE SPECIAL PANELS FOR THAT TYPE OF INSTALLATION WHERE YOU WOULD USE SOME TYPE OF LIQUID NAIL.
Sure! Get some mastic and hang it like shingles starting at the bottom so water won't get under it.


Sounds like a fantastic and lovely look.
