I've found posts similar to this, but not exactly as I need, so please bear with me.
I need to construct a stud wall no more than 50mm thick, finished, including plasterboard and skim one side, Aquapanel the other.
It will form a side wall to a shower enclosure (2400mm high x 800mm wide x 50mm thick). No pipes run through its height. Just a wastepipe through it at the bottom. However it will need to withstand a shower door closing against it (hung from opposite wall).
Can anyone suggest a construction that will be strong/rigid enough to withstand the door (and probably the odd bump from somebody's bum in the shower)?
What about laminating some timber sheets (ply?) or (hate to say this in a woodworking forum) steel framework?
Suggestions appreciated.
