Hi Guys,
So I'm currently undertaking a renovation on my first ever house. We'd finished all the tiling and I was so happy, but when we then got the plumbers in to finish the bathroom suite installation, they realised they'd forgotten to pull through the waste water pipe for the toilet. What...

Hi all. I'm new to the forum and after some advice please for an en suite (1.5m x 1.5m). I am planning to lay aquapanel over moisture resistant chipboard (not the green stuff) and wondered if the chipboard needs to be primed / sealed prior to gluing and screwing the aquapanel and if so, what...

Hi, sorry in advance if this is an old question. I've had a quick look round on the forum threads but couldn't find a definitive answer.
I am fitting a bathroom out and have reinforced the stud walls. The shower is in a cubicle and I will be boarding this area out with 12.5mm Knauf Aquapanel.
I...
Have just got some branded Aquapanel tape for the joins and it looks very similar to the normal plasterboard join tape I've got lying around. Is it the same, or is it important to use the Aquapanel stuff?
Thanks.
Hi all,
I'm doing a wetroom and when knocking off the old tiles the plasterboard is in such poor repair, I've decided to remove it and replace with Knauf Aquapanels.
Three sides of the room are on stud walls, so that presents no problems, but one has the plasterboard dot and dabbed onto medium...

Hi,
I'll admit upfront this is a bodge, but I want to try it before having to spend "real money".
I have fitted aquapanel (cement board) on the front of my new hole-in-the-wall gas fireplace, this is where the problems start! (I probably should have used Supalux in hind sight)
The temperature...

Following recommendations on these forums I have gone for Aquapanel to line the walls around a bath that will have a shower over it. The intention was to replace the plasterboard with Aquapanel where necessary and add in extra noggins at the same time if necessary.
However having removed the...
Hi,
I've already put aquapanel onto a frame at the rear end of the bath to create a ledge/step. My question is that I need to build the height on the horizontal part by about 10mm. As i've already got some marmox lying around can I simply glue/screw this onto the aquapanel then tile??

Hi there,
I'm in the process of replacing a shower area, have taken off old tiles and all existing plasterboard which was in a bad way as it had obviously leaked for quite a while.
Can anybody tell me what the difference is between Hardibacker and Aquapanel and which is best to use, and can...
