Studded Wallcoverings for Ensuite Shower

Mar 28, 2006 7 Replies

I know marine ply is recommended for tile walls (or some other specific panel board), but how are the thicknesses kept level when I join it to plasterboard coming away from the shower (I am making a longish passageway by making a false wall approximately one metre into the bedroom)? Is there marine ply at the same thickness as plasterboard?



Thanks


Only by people who don't understand what marine ply is. WBP is what you need.

Use 1/2" WBP. This is very near 12mm PB.

You could use Aquapanel.It is 12.5mm,same thickness as plasterboard .

That's what I did/would do.

Aquapanel is also a bit more fireproof than plywood.

The message from snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.co.uk contains these words:

An important consideration in a shower.

Surely that depends on how hot your water is ;-)

Thread convergence, I love it.

I think the fact that Aquapanel is water proof might be more important ..lol
