We have just started to stock the 6mm Aqua Panel cement boards at my shop. I hear alot of talk about hardibacker on here and wondered what you guys thought of the Aquapanel?
Hi,
I was wondering whether anyone could help me with some advice on aquapanel joints - I've not used aquapanels before. I am fitting aquapanel to stud walls (one new & one existing) where a shower bath will be fitted. I got the aquapanel from Wickes (a 4 for the price of 3 offer on at the...
Please can you help me?
I have purchased eight sheets of Aquapanel and have just found out that you can't fix them with dot and dab! (£11.10 each at B&Q if you buy five or more).
I was going to fix them on three sides of a bath.
One short side is ok cause it is battened but this is not the...
Hi, complete newbie to tiling here and not actually planning on DIY.
I've had a bathroom rebuilt and the guy who did it is going to tile it as well. He has asked to me to get the tiles I want and the adhesive but preferably not from any of the DIY stores (why?). I've been into a few tile places...
Hi I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I am in the process of installing a new shower to replace my bath.
The long wall the shower tray butts up to is plaster over blockwork. The short wall is half plastered blockwork and half stud.
I have bought aquapanel to put up over the new...
Hi all, I'm glad I found this forum as I think it has helped me clarify a great deal of confusion I have 'suffered' regarding aquapanel, and has raisde other qusetions! I bought and installed the stuff from wickes as per instrucs and sealed the joints with their tape. I then saw this site...
:smash:Hi, I'm new to this site and I think it's amazing that their is so much too tiling than meets the eye. Great source of information!
I've finally decided to use Aquapanel on one side of a stud wall. The Aquapanel screws that I bought seem too long, if I use these then they will go right...
Can I just ask what everyone prefers when making shower cubicle walls waterproof/water resistant. I am retiling my father in laws shower and will probably need to replace the plasterboard. I'm in 2 minds as using aquapanel seems a lot less work but is it as efficent as going down the...

Hi all, about to get round to introducing myself in the new members area and would really appreciate your advice on a tiling query.
I've ripped up the lino in the upstairs bathroom with intention of laying stone mosaic tiles. The floor is chipboard (very secure, well sealed, no movement) and...
Hi there. Would appreciate some advice on approaches to tiling on to Wickes Aquapanel, which I'm using to replace two existing plasterboard walls around the customer's bath (with overbath shower). Tiles are likely to be 20x25 or 25x40 format.
Would be grateful for opinions on the following...
Hi All
I`m about to tile my bathroom floor, the floorboards are in pretty good nick and flat apart from a couple of small 1inch gaps near the edge. I was originally going to put down some 6mm plywood and then aquapanel but I`m thinking is it ok just to put the aquapanel straight down onto the...
hi all,
i have previously always fixed aquapanel to frame for walls and used thermal on floor ,as fairly new to tiling this has worked well as long as the panels are keeped levelled/flat/sq,makes tiling alot easier for me,but with the current job(shower room) i am restricted with the widths and...
I am looking to strengthen an 18mm chipboard substrate to take 333x333mm travertine. I would normally use 12mm aquapanel spf'd and screwed for such a job but was thinking of trying the 6mm Hardibacker to reduce the height a bit. I am slightly nervous of the thin hardibacker and don't want a...
Hello folks, as I mentioned in the newbies section, I got some questions on cement boards and stuff related. I am from Germany and I am strongly interested in the British market because of my job for a German newspaper. Help would be appreciated, I'm quite desperate...:huh2:
Well, let's...
Hi All,
Just looking for a bit of advice. I am making a small wetroom/shower on the first floor of my house. I have ripped up the old floorboards in the area and fixed 3/4" ply directly to the joists and noggins at 80mm intervals. I have sealed this with a PVA bond and water mix. I have then...
