Studs for tiles/shower

[SteUK]

Hi all,

Just studded up a corner that will be covered with tile backer board then tiles (total will be approx 25kg/sqm and area is approx 0.5m/sq.

Is my studding adequate? (Let's not go as far as 'good' eh!)

I have 45 degree batons for the vertical if it is needed?

Thanks!

Looks good but I'd be inclined to put something in vertically. I don't think it is absolutely necessary but you don't want to see any movement in the corners when it is all complete. It'll be too late by then

A centre bar might make it easier to get a fixing for a shower riser too.

Roger that denso! I have them, why be lazy and not use them eh?

Started fixing them...and the drill battery dies. No problem, grab my other drill. One more hole...dies as well. Always the way eh!?

Also added some grab adhesive all round for good measure.

Good call footprints...but the head is going on the short bath wall to the right of the corner
