Hello
I have an external hollow block wall which is really brittle and uneven.
Although I will loose some room size I was thinking of facing it with a stud wall to ensure its square then glueing and screwing 6mm nomoreply.
Tiles are 500 x 250 ceramic, what's the view on the minimum size wood I...
I need help on what prep I need to do.
I have read on the forums here and I seem to be going round in circles. I have a small bathroom which is stripped back to the following.
wall 1 - masonry red brick
wall 2 - masonry red brick
wall 3 - part stud wall with top 1/4 moistureboard attached...
Who is at fault here? Our builders built a stud wall and secured backer board to it. Our tiler then proceeded to tile onto it. We had multiple tiles crack along one vertical line where the two backer boards met. Upon removing tiles, one backer board was only secured with 6 screws and there were...

First post :)
I'm having to refit a first floor shower alcove in a 20 year old house that has suffered water damage from the shower to the floorboards & stud wall. Construction is 22mm V313 MR chipboard floor on treated 9x2 timber joists at 600 centres with the 1000x800 alcove formed of...
hi all,
It’s been a while!! I’ve now moved up to Leeds so am rebuilding my plumbing/heating business.
Anyway..
I’m quoting for a job to fit a shower which will mean stripping the partially tiled walls to retile them from bath to ceiling.
In my head I’ll have to remove the bath and...
hello all,
I am having an ensuite room built and want it tiled all over. one of the walls will be a stud wall which I want to have wood covered so as to have good fixing for cupboards etc.
My questions are:
1) I thought of using thick plywood which I thought will need waterproof protection...
Evening all,
I understand the weight limits for plasterboard, backer board etc, but....
I was wondering what is a reasonable weight limit for the actual stud partition wall? (As in, what's the limit before the framework starts crashing down) Is this something I should be considering on jobs...
Do you think, from floor to ceiling, 12mm thick plywood plus 12mm thick cement board (e.g. Hardiebacker type board or similar) plus metro tiles is a tolerable weight to be attached to timber stud?
Wall would be 1 metre wide by 2.3 metre high

Rip out bath, install shower tray, remove brick partition and move door closer to wall, stud and fit door. They want to keep...

Hi,
I'm after some advice on preparing the walls and floor of a bathroom for tiling. I want waterproof boards around the shower, and I'm currently going with Marmox. First question is on the stiffness of the Marmox boards: are 12.5mm boards really OK to go straight onto stud walls? There won't...

Just ripped a shower out and the walls were standard ply just tiled straight on top (hence all the tiles falling off!). It would be handy to grab another couple of mm due to the new tiles being a lot thicker, so I was going to use 10mm Marmox board. Sounds like it's suitable according to Marmox...

Hi everybody I was wondering if some can inform me if it's ok to pre make some recess boxs out of say 10mm ply, glued and screwed, sealed on back and tanked inside even though the recess's will be on the opersite side of the shower. Just seems easier to do it this way and then centre the box in...
