Could this product possibly be used as a finish over drywall (a vertical surface)? The consistency may not allow for it, but I'd like to know!

The surface that you apply ardex to needs to be rough so that the cement has something to grap to. If u prime the drywall, apply a thin layer of thinset for backsplash tile...then you will be able to apply the ardex.

We applied it to a vertical drywall surface and it worked great. We primed the wall first and that was it. We slapped on two thin skim coats of Ardex and called it good.

No, this unit as shipped will not mount to a vertical surface. You may be able to find a different arm, or an additional part directly from the company.

I do not know about that surface, it sounds like it is not smooth. The material used does not have a sticky backing...it is static cling. Mine was applied to a painted surfaces.

We put ours on a stud. Not sure if it would hold the weight on just drywall.

Maybe. It might work on drywall, but stucco, brick, or other rough surfaces might be problematic. Also, be sure to use a thick layer (4-6 coats) of spray-on polyeurethane to protect the finish.

Ideally you should apply several coats to get the desired smooth wall effect. This is tool is perfect for using over any surface, though in your case I would consider sanding the peaks out of the paint. THEN after cleaning the wall and letting it day and begin applying sheet-rock compound. Good luck!

I've not tried it, but assume if attached securely to studs behind drywall it would work.

Probably, bu I would not though as the surface is very glossy. If you did paint it the surface would have to be roughed up for the paint to stick and go on evenly.

no, but the idea is good, this is more liquid goo than it is insulation. a pro company with open wall yes. best bet is to use sound deading drywall over what you have on wall now. stops it all normaly

I suppose it's possible to use on a wall, but I have no idea if the adhesive would hold without the help of gravity. At the least, however, you could try it and, if they come loose over time, your investment with these tiles is minimal. Nothing ventured, nothing gained? If you don't mind the look of printed vinyl on your wall (which is more commonly accepted on flooring), it sounds worth a try.

I would not use this on a vertical surface. Its main purpose is for hanging something heavy from a ceiling.

It would be fine either way. You can mount it on drywall or on exposed, unfinished walls. If you don't have finished walls, you might want to consider a large pegboard instead. It would fill up some wall space and may be nicer in the long run.

I would not recommend this on drywall. Recently took a whole bunch of command hooks off my drywall. On many of them, the adhesive broke from behind the hook. Some pulled part of the wall off with them. Didn't have this problem on wooden doors and came off easily from tile as well.

We used this on top of the drywall in our application. I don't see why you couldn't sandwich it between two layers of drywall. However the mass loaded vinyl needs to be secured via staples, nails, or screws for the first drywall before adding the second drywall. No type of glue will holdThe mass loaded vinyl in place by itself. It's too heavy. Green glue in addition for covering the seams would be a good idea.

I don't know what success other have had with this product, but the sticky tape didn't work for me. I'm trying to protect some 90 degree drywall corners and the product wouldn't stick to the walls very well. In my case, the tape was very thin and not sticky enough to stay applied to the wall (even after I just applied it). I think you would have to screw or nail it to the wall to make it really hold or experiment with better two-faced sticky tape.

I couldn't tall you for sure but it does run a little. its thick and dries hard enough to fill small gaps.. If you apply a small strip to a vertical wall it wont run down the wall at all, but if you gob it on it will run.... its not like caulking

Technically it could be mounted that way ~ the hook on the end seems curved enough. You would have to use better drywall anchors than it comes with it. Because is it is adjustable however I wouldn't count on it to hold much weight as it would depend on the tightness of the set screw to keep the end from slipping out. Appearance wise it would probably be acceptable looking.
