When you say add supports do you mean noggins inbetween the joists. Also regarding the tanking, do you mean the walls or under where the shower tray sits? The manufacture instructions say it needs a 5.1 mix of sand and cement. For me with this sitting on wood it seems odd as it could crack over...

After removing my lino floor in the kitchen I found part of the floor solid not floor boards like the rest of the house. Where the solid floor meets floor boards it was wet all along the boards (in the picture it only looks like like one part but that's because it dried out once the lino was...

Thanks dagger; What would you suggest then - Moisture plaster board and tank it? Aquapanel as it is or tanked? The 3 walls of the shower are 2 stud walls the other is single brick wall. So if aquapanel is not water proof the moisture would go into the timber on the stud wall? (If it penetrates...

It's an enclosed shower. I may just buy some aquapanels as I have read allot about avoiding using plasterboard... if I use aquapanel do i still have to tank the area? My small showers now costing a small fortune in materials lol Thanks

I am fitting a shower tray and want to keep it as low as possible (on ground floor shower room). If I fit the shower tray to the floor and have the trap under the floor is this ok or is there times access will be required to the trap?

Hi I know cement board is advised but is it still ok to tile over moisture board provided it is 'tanked'. I did write in another forum previously but after having the moisture board delivered already... if I do it this way will it last? Thanks

Thanks, is using the green board and tanking still an approved way of doing it that will last?

The extractor is just under 300mm deep and does not pull out. Just worried condensation will build up on front of high gloss...

Even though it's been plastered? I read somewhere the strength of plaster board is 33kg m2 but if plastered 22kg m2. Not sure that's right though ?

I am looking at having brick slips on a wall that's been dot and dabbed/skimmed. My concern is can the wall that's been dot and dabbed take the weight of the brick tiles ( roughly 36kg per m2) or would the plaster board need removing then hard walled or rendered instead? Dot and dabbed to me...
