Skim Coat on MR Plasterboard

[wozza]

Hi All,

 

I understand what MR (Moisture Resistant) Plasterboard is and its properties, however I am questioning if it is worth using if you are going to skim coat over it? Its a bit late now reqardless as I have boarded out most of the two bathrooms except for one ceiling and two dot and dab walls (with a combination of Abacus boards for the wet areas and MR plasterboard everywhere else)

 

Also I have seen the Mould resistant Fiba tape - is it worth using?

 

Thanks, Wozza.

Yes you should use moister resistant boards in all bathrooms regardless of weather they are being tiled or painted

But ideally you wouldn't skim tge parts that are getting tiled
