Trying to get this one done in 7 days which means I can rest up a bit before the next one. I feel broken.
Usual thing of gutting and ripping out.
Only 3 walls to tile and for the first time I'm using 6mm ceramics (1st time since tiler school anyway) Only ever had porc + natural stone jobs. Can't believe how fast they are to work with.

Nice Pacific Blue suite:

Cheers Gary.

Normally put a check valve on hot supply but hot and cold feed were both gravity fed in this case so didn't bother.
One question for you if you don't mind - what is paramount board?
2 bathrooms ago I had to put a towel rad on PB that had no studding to screw to, just 2 sheets of PB with that cardboard mesh in between.
I had to remove alot of that to put my own stud work in for a sufficient anchor - very time consuming and I hadn't quoted for that and wondered what you do?
Are there fasteners out there that would do the job?
Cheers

Hi macten, yes what you came across then was paramount board, i am sure i noticed it in one of your previous jobs, used alot in coucil house/flats for obvious reasons.A sandwich of cardboard and 2 pieces of gypsum type plasterboard i think. I do the same as you and try to get a couple of noggins in to get fixings, also have to be careful when tiling paramount board due to the amount of movement,most have plenty of bounce in them.

cavity wall fixings or toggle fixings are the only ones that nearly work...best practice is to get some timber fixings in there as you have previously done.


Cheers
Gary
