Hi,
I have just started stripping out our dated old ensuite bathroom to begin preparation for a wet room.
Our house is about 10 years old and I need to build new stud walls as the cavitys are not deep enough to conceal the shower mixer and all the sink and toilet drainage etc.
Upon tearing the walls down I found they were made up of a single sheet of plaster board directly nailed up against a prefabriacted wall with like a honeycombe of paper in side.
I wanted to check that there is no regulation/or concerns as to the make of adjoining walls, I dont believe that any of these are supporting walls as there is little to no timber framework.
All I was going to do was to remove the single sheet of plasterboard, then remove the next sheet of plasterboard and honeycombe (leaving the otherside of the prefab wall in place then build a 50mm stud wall and fit new plasterboard or aqua panels facing in to the bathroom.
Due to the minimal width of the room I need to eek as much width as I can to make the design work!
If this makes sense does it sound ok?????
Thanks
Darren
