Hi all,
After some advice. Renovating our cottage and the old bathroom has been completely ripped out.
We will be building out a stud wall for one side of the shower enclosure.
The original plan was to use ply and then tank however I’m know much more keen to use a tile backing board.
So, should I ply the stud as normal and then fix the boards to the ply and the other walls in the enclosure or should I ditch the ply and just fix the backing board to the stud work?
The ply wall will be where our shower controls and fixings are going so I’m inclined to put the ply up and board over.
There seems to be different options of thickness from 6mm, 10mm and 12mm. I’m only using small metro tiles so not hanging heavy/large tiles on the wall. Would the 6mm suffice?
Thanks all
