Hi all,
I am getting conflicting messages from my builder and plumber regarding fixing a new resin shower tray in a new bathroom. The builder wants to recess the tray so the plasterboard butts on top of the tray, but the plumber wants to fit the tray flush against the board and then have the...

I've always tiled onto the ivory/white side. However, I've come to a job where the plasterboard has been put up (half of it anyhow so far) with the brown side showing. I want to tile straight onto this (standard gypsum), does it matter which side or shall I have the boards turned around? The...
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.

All the best
