BS5385 states: "It is essential to tile onto an already water-resistant background. Sand/cement render, dense concrete or water-resistant tile backer board are ideal backgrounds. Plaster, plasterboard, timber and timber-based products such as MDF or plywood are absorbent and should be made waterproof by the use of a waterproofing or tanking system.":thumbsup:
