Morning,
I'm doing a shower renovation and had a few questions about battens behind the boards.
* What size battens should go on the side wall, I'm thinking 50 by 25 (1x2) as I don't need to hide anything there, but 50x50 (2x2) at the end of the bath. Is this enough to route the pipes up to a mounting bracket?
* Where do you get the battens from and what type of wood? Untreated, soft, planed, roofing, CLS, C16? Jewson and Wickes seem to have so many options. I thought wood was wood, more fool me!
* The side wall is external, Victorian about 2-3 foot thick, do I need to put anything behind the boards, insulation, vapour membrane etc?
Thanks for any advice,
Dan
