Hi All,
Have read through a lot of the threads on plasterboarding bathrooms - thanks for all the top tips from the experts out there .
I'm just reaching the stage in my new build of plasterboarding the house. I have four bathrooms to do and want to ensure I use the right products in the right places. Here's my plan:
Aquapanel boards in shower areas and bath.
MR board for the rest of the walls and ceilings.
Areas not tiled will be plaster skimmed and painted.
Question is whether I need to use Aquapanel on the ceiling areas directly above showers or will MR board be fine?
I also assume it's fine to tile directly onto Aquapanel as other threads suggest and to plaster skim the other areas which won't be tiled?
I'm intending to mount the boards myself and then get a plasterer in to plaster skim. I'll be using a mixture of dot & dab on the insulated block walls and screwing the plasterboard to the stud walls.
I assume I need to use specific screws for Aquapanel in bathrooms to stop rusting/corrosion? Can anyone recommend any good makes for this?
Thanks again for all the top tips and advice here.
