So no need to tank shower. Wish I knew this before I spent 50 coins on Aquadefense.

£50 coins well spent if you wanted a waterproof shower. £50 still well spent if you didn't in my opinion

There’s some confusion here, the board will not break down no matter how wet it gets, but it will soak water up like a sponge! So if you want a dry wall behind your tiles - water proof it

I'm a tool for saying this I know,
and I can’t take it any more!

Thanks Marc. I can stop twitching now!

I hadn’t even noticed Mark to be honest.
It comes under the heading of
‘Stuff I don’t even need to read’ or ‘clutter!’

Here we have some 12mm hardie that was collected new this morning

 

[One Day]

Please - anyone explain why you use 12mm Hardi?
6mm for floor overlays I understand, but why 12mm on walls?!

If the studs are at 600 centres I'd find it quicker to use 12mm hardie and tank. Can any thickness xps board be used in that scenario?

 

[Flintstone]

I used 12mm on 2 floors recently, the first because it was very rough and I needed the extra height, I had a couple boards left so used them today on a small bathroom floor. There’s not one thing nice about them, except there strong as.

19/20mm kerdi/wedi. Far easier to carry, cut and install.

Surely to goodness the ONLY justification for the superhuman effort required to fit out a room with 12mm HB is if you are hanging paving stones as tiles?!
(as in Yorkshire pavers!)

I thought it'd have to be thicker than that. I'm no fan of lugging it about either

It's surprisingly strong, although in a commercial situation where it could get serious knocking about I'll admit HB would be better for the tiles.
I did a job last year with 20mm kerdi on 600 centres and Porcelthin.
It felt very solid once everything was set, but I know a good kick would smash it!

I'm using hardie on my bathroom walls and you'd understand if you'd met my kids
