I have read on this forum that it is best to use special plaster board around showers and baths under tiles.
My problem is the wall at the side of my shower/bath is a prefabricated partition (9mmPB 50mm Cardboard Honeycomb 9mmPB type) with 50x50 studs at 1200crs. So i cant replace 1 side with special plaster board and the studs are too far apart to add another layer using screws.
Is there an adhesive that would be strong enough to carry the weight of another board and tiles (is the prefab partition strong enough) and what sort of board.
If i tile directly to the existing bog standard board am i very lighly to have problems in the future, its just the plaster board below the old tiles where the shower was for 8 years was still fine.
I would prefer a little more expense now than a lot of hassle in the future.
