I've built a section out of 4x2 to house a bath and allow me to tile the side.
I believe I would be better using a tile backing board instead of plasterboard or ply.
If so, what thickness would you recommend?
How about a Aquapanel Cement Tile Backer Board from B&Q, it's 12.5mm thick.
What's the best way to cut such a board? Jigsaw?
Also, I'm going to need to create access at the tap end of the bath for isolation valves and trap, and also the bottom end where the waste enters an angle piece before entering the stack (possible cleaning).
How would I best create the access areas without spoiling the effect of a tiled side panel?
I've just come across Schlüter®-REMA
Has anybody used this system?
