tiling a bath panel

[darren pealing]

what do you use to tile onto when tiling a bath panel ?

HardiBacker Board.

12mm plasterboard. I always try and leave a 18" separate section at the tap end. So if a plumber does need to smash tiles off its only a small part.

usualy always used ply and whitestar depending on the tile

 

[EverDon Tiling]

Hardie backer for me too

 

[Andy Tiler]

30mm Wediboard for me waterproof..
and always leave an inspection trap!
😉

Hardiebacker for me. Making sure there is no deflection. Inspection trap to line up with grout line, but siliconed (instead of grout). So much nicer than a plastic bath panel.

Plasterboard or hardi,usually 1/2" plasterboard though

 

[danmasey]

I wanted to do an inspection panel on the last one but struggled with the brick bond pattern so didn't bother

12.5 plasterboard or 6mm hardi. Depends on the clearance I have at the lip on the top of the bath.
