Hi all

I've been asked to tile in a domestic bathroom onto some plywood boxing that covers the shower & hot & cold water pipes above the bath (1800 by 750) , also the toilet is mounted on the wall instead of floor standing and a section of this is boxed in plywood (1000 by 1700) & the bath panel needs tiling too, plywood again. Plywood is probably not the best thing to make boxing out of in a bathroom as if the moisture gets to it it will warp & expand, but as it's already done will it be fine to prime it with Bal APD And then use both waterproof flexy addy & waterproof grout. would that be enough to stop the moisture getting to the timber?

Thanks in advance

Matthew
