I have ripped out the alcove /recess shower cubicle in our bathroom for a complete refit.
The existing was 15 - 20 years old (inherited , we have had it for 15 years) looking a bit tatty and there was a small leak.
On two sides I will be fixing aquapanel (previously plasterboard )to existing stud partition using the special aquapanel screws..
The third side is external brick wall . I have removed a thick dark plaster (waterproof? ) layer back to the brick and treated with PVA. (mainly to keep dust down while work in progress).
I know that Aquapanel is "normally fixed mechanically " however in these circumstances can I "glue" it straight onto the brick wall ? using plasterboard adhesive ?
I want to avoid battening the brick wall to save space ( I will use a replacement size tray 900 + 760 , but previously with the thickness of the plaster the tiling went right up to the internal ledge of the tray. I would prefer to use the full width of the ledge) If I do have to batten it will have to be a shallow size of batton.
I intend to tank the aquapanels with the Bal system prior to tiling.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts
