Hi there. Been lurking a while, gaining the knowledge and haven't needed to post until now.
I'm repairing / replacing the stud wall in my bathroom, its only 900m wide and is used to cover the soil pipe and plumbing and to space out the room to 1700mm so the 1692mm bath fits snug end to end across the whole room.
On this wall there will be a few things hanging off, shower screen, shower rail, bar mixer shower fixing kit, bath edge support etc.
Instead of putting in lots of noggins and trying to fix everything now is it possible to do the following:
Turn my 45 x 70mm upright studs sideways and set back 18mm from the floor and ceiling plates. Then fix 18mm wbp plywood across the wall so the plywood is flush with the top and bottom plates. Then cover with the MR plasterboard This will then be finished with multi-wall laminated plywood finish.
Then I don't have to worry where to screw any of the shower fixings, screen fixings etc. I will always be going through 11mm multi-wall, 12.5mm plasterboard and 18mm wbp ply.
Is this a daft idea. Am I doing something wrong that could cause problems in the future?
thanks...
Ed
