Part tiled bathroom

[andywatson]

My other half has decded she wants the new en suite part tiled.

I am currently boarding the whole thing out wih aquapanel, but I am a bit stuck ith an order of work fro there on.

Aquapanel isn't supposed to be skimmed then tiled, so do I tile the areas I want tiled, then call in a plasterer, or do I call in a plasterer to skim, and mark where I am tiling for him to stop?

Or does it make no differene?

Thanks in advance

Andy

You could just board out with normal plasterboard and then tank wet areas.
Normally plaster areas not to be tiled then feather out about 3 inches into tile area,this allows you to keep the tiles flat.
Use trim on tile edges to finish off.

Thanks for that- it makes sense.

I decided to go the aquapanel route simply because I figured it was better over time, and it's just as easy to do. Probably a bit more expensive, but not a hugh amount.
