Glasroc - ok substitute for Aquapanel for heavy tiles?

[ChrisKingston]

Hi,

I've used Aquapanel before for tiling bathrooms with heavy (12mm marble) tiles. Doing another one now but have seen this British Gypsum Glasroc Tilebacker H:
http://www.builderdepot.co.uk/british-gypsum-12-5mm-x-900mm-x-1200mm-glasroc-h-tilebacker.html
It's quite a lot cheaper than Aquapanel.

Anybody used it? Is there any reason to pay the extra for Aquapanel?

Thanks,
Chris

Not that very good to be honest mate....

Only takes the same weight per m2 as plasterboard....32kg...

If your using marble tiles again then the answer is ..NO....don't use it..
