    Recommend Shower Room Substrate

    Got a small walk in shower to rip out and re tile and was curious to know if there would be advantages to using a cement hardie type board instead of moisture resistant plaster board? I'm assuming both would require tanking, weight/type of tiles to be used currently unknown.

    Plaster board props

    Been thinking of getting some of these adjustable props but they only do minimum height of 1.15m which is too big for most domestic windows. Anyone know if they can be cut down at the bottom?

    Can 600x300 tiles be fixed straight onto bare unskimmed plaster board? Would it need priming first? Not sure whether the tiles are ceramic or stone yet. Any advice welcome. Cheers

    Plaster board?

    Should plaster board be primed before tiling? And if so with what primer? I understand plaster needs priming but the chap I work with says you don't need to with plaster board!!
