tiling onto?

[whyme!]

i have put a hidden frame toilet in corner of room, could i enclose it with chipboard then tile on it?

If it's not load bearing, use plasterboard instead.

 

[whyme!]

its not load bearing, but i feel it could break where no support, especially with kids, cant get any 12mm ply but have 9mm, maybe this would be a bit stronger?

WTF? Why ask a question and then ignore the answer?

 

[whyme!]

i did read it, i thought plaster board would not have the strength, thats all

 

[Softus]

In that case use Aquapanel or Hardiebacker board. I challenge you (or your kids) to break that.

this stuff?

Yes.

does it come in larger panels?

The 12.5mm x 900mm board is available in two lengths: 1200mm and 2400mm.

See this for guidance.

 

[whyme!]

looks good, and you say it is strong.could this be used on wooden floors too instead of ply?
