Russell griffiths Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I started another question on this but didn’t explain properly, I’ve asked that it be deleted. wet room/ shower room im looking for a board that can be tiled over in a wet room environment, but also 2/3 rds of the room will be painted, is there a board I can use as a tile backer, but then skim it for painting in the rest of the room. it would be nice to board it without have to swap boards as I exit the shower area. what’s your go to board on site @nod cheers.

nod Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 The yellow Gypsum boards are perfect for this and easier to work with than cement boards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Ah I see. I just used moisture resistant plasterboard that was fully sealed at the joints and tanked. Saved any messing about with different boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BotusBuild Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I've seen this at NSBRC - https://www.tilingsuppliesdirect.co.uk/product/jackoboard-plano-tile-backer-board Seems to be a good alternative. Not sure on price in comparison to the yellow gypsum board 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done the same in about 8 houses no issue. Where there are tiles we didn't tape at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saved any messing about with different boards. Me too. The green gypsum board throughout, then tanked just the shower area up to head height, skimmed and painted the rest. Walls are all timber-frame, therefore tanking is essential I would have thought, at the very least around all corners.

Nick Laslett Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) Fermacell powerpanel H20 is designed for this. But probably one of the most expensive solutions. https://www.saimaxx.com/fermacell-h20-powerpanel-12-5mm-x-2-6m-x-1-2m-square-edge-board-75054-115343.html https://www.insulationshop.co/image/catalog/pdf/Fermacell/product-data-sheet-fermacell-powerpanel-h2o.pdf https://www.youtube.com/embed/LpnG1d8hJL0 I used Marmox multiboard for shower area and then swapped to standard fermacell board for rest of the room, but all my walls are 2 layers anyway. Marmox do a nice pre-made niche for the shower area. https://www.marmox.co.uk/range/multiboard-products Edited June 26 by Nick Laslett 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
