aquapanel

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm correct. We would like to build stud wall to accommodate excased shower with pipes and possibly nieche shelf. I'm aware aquapanels should be used. However the stud wall timber if I'm correct needs to be attached to old council style brick wall. Should the wall be timber...

What gap should I allow when cutting the boards, given that adhesive is being used instead of scrim etc. I gather the adhesive expands? Is this right? Or do I just butt them up tight after glueing, and get the screws in rapid?

One side is rough, the other is smooth, with the brand name, batch No. printed on. I've put up stud to enclose a new bath on 3 sides, time to put the Knauf boards on. The obvs is that the rough face will grip the cls better. So which face takes the tiles?

Talking to a general builder doing some dry lining in my place, says he mostly does bathrooms these days, because "everything has dropped and needs reworking". Is tilebackers/bath sat on the same horiz CLS/batten a good solution?

Is it to allow fitting in an 1800 recess/alcove with 5mm tolerance at each end? I'm putting a bath alcove together (stud/Aquapanel) and was wondering anyway, what gap to set at the ends between bath & Aquapanels (panels to drop 10mm below rim). The bath showed up 10mm shorter than expected...

To help prevent panels dropping later, I was thinking of glueing aquapanels to the stud (additional to screwing & edge glueing panels with proprietary glue). Any thoughts? Panels to be supported on horiz. rail anyway, so just run some Gorilla up the stud before fixing them?

Does aquapanel go above the bath with the bath rim slid underneath it, or does it extend below the rim with the bath pushed up to it (plus sealant)? Asking because existing bath rim is 45mm wide but new bath side rim is 90mm wide, which seems a lot. Thank you.

I was going to grout 6mm Aquapanels to a single leaf rendered breeze wall behind a new bath, I really don't have much space (not enough for CLS) but I might just squeeze some planed in if preferred. Thank you.

Hello, I'm going to completely gut the bathroom we have downstairs, it's damp and rotten and I want to go back to scratch in the room to know it's all been done right. The bathroom is downstairs and built into a timber framed extension the previous owner put in. As is, I am planning on...

Lots of forums on this stuff but not the exact question. I have 3 wetrooms, 2 on ply and 1 on concrete. The plan was to sink a section for the shower area 1500 x 900 and envelope tiles into it but need to waterproof the rest of the room. The tiler has quoted to use Ditra mat with a section of...

Im building a three sided timber stud wall to create a shower enclosure and using aquapanel cement board over the studs. Theres a lot of conflicting advice online re whether to install a vapour control barrier behind the aquapanel or tank the surface before tiling (or both!) to ensure its...

hi, I am installing aquapanel along a wall in my bathroom where two thirds of the wall will be a shower area and tiled and the other third will be painted with a towel rad. Can you paint directly onto aquapanel? Do you have to prime it or anything first? What is the best way to disguise the...

Hi, I am currently renovating my bathroom and will be having tiles on two of the walls, where a shower will sit in the corner and a bath along the same wall. The shower is going where the door currently is. We are planning on using 30x60x10mm porcelain tiles. Currently one of the walls is...
