I'm splitting a large room up with a stud wall to create a bathroom and an en-suite. I'm also going to put a new ceiling up.
The stud wall will be made from 3x2 and i'm thinking of putting 2 layers of 12.5mm plasterboard on and skimming allround and then using a shower tanking kit on the 3 walls that make up the shower before tiling over.
Does this sound like a good idea or should I use a moisture resistant plasterboard or even the aquaboard in the shower area?
Can anyone recommend a tanking kit and are they easy to use/put on?
I'll be creating new ceiling joists with 4x2 and screwing plasterboard on this before skimming and then painting with kitchen & bathroom paint.
Again does this sound like a good idea, do I need to use a moisture resistant plasterboard or vapour board (the foil backed stuff) or will normal plasterboard do?
Thanks for any help or advise
