Porcelain tiles potentially over weight limit: is this a big issue?
Without thinking too much about it (DIY job), we bought these tiles, and now I realize we might have made a mistake: Maddox Grey Concrete Effect Porcelain Wall and Floor Tile | TileMountain - https://www.tilemountain.co.uk/maddox-grey-concrete-effect-matt-porcelain-wall-and-floor-tile
I am going to use them to tile the splashback of my kitchen. Right now there are small ceramic tiles, which I will remove and replace with the new ones.
The wall is a party wall (masonry) and I assume is plastered... which I've just figured might be a big problem.
If I got it right, the weight limit for plastered walls is 20kg/m2, my tiles should be 20.6kg/m2 excluding grout and adhesive (so probably around 23-24kg/m2 in total?)
For the adhesive I was thinking about using the Mapei Keraquick Wall & Floor Rapid-Set Flexible or Adesilex P9.
Is this going to be a huge problem? I am not tiling the whole wall, the highest I will go is 75cm where the cooker is and about 48cm in the rest of the wall. Is this really likely to be an inssue?
