hi,
i'm completely re plastering a bathroom, 2 walls are brick with the other two a stud frame, and room is very scarce at the shower end.
for that reason a plasterer friend has advised to use something like la farge gtec aquaboard as this can be tiled straight on to.
this is fine where the stud wall is as can be screwed striaght on, but this cant be dot and dabbed onto brick wall and there is not enough space to fit batons to the wall to fix it too.
my mates advised that it should be more than ok to use an adhesive on the back of the board but then also screw into the wall using rawlplugs at 30cm spacing rather than into a wooden frame and then tile straight on to the board and it'll have the strength needed.
sounds ok to me- but does anyone with more experience have a view on this?
also does anyone know if this board is ok to be skimmed over and painted on the ceiling- cant find anything either way on the la farge website.
thanks all
Charlie
