I'm in the process of dot dabbin kitchen walls. I've used standard grey 12.5mm plasterboard.
1.Can i continue to use standard plasterboard for the whole kitchen even behind where the sink/washing machine will be or is moisture resistant more advisable in this area? - window cill above sink may also be tiled...
2.The splash back between wall/base units will eventually be tiled. Do i refrain from skimming these areas as i've been told tiles will stick better to bare plasterboard?
3.Also, is it necessary to skim behind base units as this will not be seen?
Just unsure as to whether i should skim the whole of this side of the kitchen where wall/base units are going + tiles for splashback area!
4.Lastly, is it ok to skim kitchen walls 1st and at a later date attach plasterboard to ceiling joists and skim that secondly,as opposed to doing both at same time? (need to leave ceiling off at present as havent sorted plumbing for upstairs bathroom) Just wondering about the joint tape scenario and whether it'll be able to blend in from already plastered walls to ceiling...
