Hi, I'm currently building a shower room/en suit. The upstairs walls in my house are made up 2 pieces of plasterboard with cardboard in the middle all glued together and from my experience its a pain when re-tiling them as there is no structure to screw a piece piece of plasterboard to.
To make it easier for the future, and because the walls have been papered multiple times and then painted, I was going to screw another layer of plasterboard to the existing one but they only sell the moisture resistant board locally in massive sheets which don't fit in my car and are a pain to work with in small areas.
So are they really required in a bathroom area? The shower will obviously be tanked out anyway so moisture levels in the rest of the area I'm thinking will be ok and a good high flow extractor will be fitted also.
Thanks in advance
