Hardie backer board or moisture resistant plasterboard

[james hailwood]

Got a wet room to tile inside the shower area and I'm unsure which substrate to use either Hardie backer board or moisture resistant plasterboard, two walls r brickwork one wall is studded

Either or but both will need to be tanked so unless you have weight issues I would use plasterboard
Better still if your at that stage then get waterproof thermal boards & use them instead.

Cool do they come in 12 millimetre

Yeah you get them 12mm to tie into existing plasterboard.
Marmox or Wedi, there's loads of others out there also.
Tank the corners & screwheads & you are good to go.
You could tank the whole lot it won't matter as its a true belt & braces approach.
