Why not batten the wall that will take the 12mm HBB so that it will finish flush with the plasterboard when the HBB is fixed to it. Use self tapping concrete / frame screws through the HBB & battens into the brick behind.

mm perfect ..?



Me thinks not..

yes you can D&D PB .. and then tank that .. i assumed backerboard was the option.. but PB tanked is as well 100%

Hi again, backerboard was my option and u was going to tank the backerboard to be confident it would be waterproof. Is plasterboard tank would be ok I might use moisture board and tank that. Would that be ok??

 

[DHTiling]

if you are tanking it , then normal PB is fine.

I just assumed for thing a bit more tougher would better.

What tiles are you fixing?

What weight?

 

[little ed]

I think they are going to be the brick style ones with a mosaic on the middle where the shower is, this may obviously change, i dont think im going for anything big though.

You won't have a weight issue then.
Dry line more Plasterboard & tank it.
Make sure you tape the internal corners so its completely waterproof.
