Does aqua board need priming

[Old Mod]

Get it changed. If they’re responsible for prep, they have to do it right or pay you to put it right.

 

[Boggs]

Any pictures I can find show them fitted label out so I would definitely get it changed round.

give Knauf a call and ask them. It’s usually Smooth side out.

However the website suggests:-

Normally the 'smooth' side.

In most situations, the 'smooth' face of the AQUAPANEL® is the side we would recommend tiling onto. AQUAPANEL® is suitable for supporting tiles up to 50kg/m2
