Square edge plasterboard joints.

[JP10]

Hi,

I am replacing the plasterboard in my bathroom prior to retiling with 600 x 300 ceramic wall tiles, can I use square edge plasterboard butted up together on the basis that the tiles will cover the joint or tapered edge plasterboard taped and the joint plastered?

All the best

I would go for square edge board personally...

Square edge is preferable and you can still put scrim tape over the joints

Square edge boards for me too. If you're dot 'n' dabbing its far easier to get the boards flat. I only use tapered boards if I can't get by hands on square edge!

yeah you could use any of them but square just makes life that little bit easier

Anything that makes life easier sounds good to me,

Do i need to tape the joints where the square edge is butted together?

i always tape my joints.

tapered edged boards are for designed drylining.
