tiling straight onto ply shower wall or backer first

i use the knauf ones..much prefer them to hardi

im off the same opinion as mike...i use on domestic showers with out tanking no issues

they dont break down,warp or promote mould ,if i use plasterboard then i tank

everyones different

as i said before Jamie Mike its all new to me i need to know i tried putting water on a piece i would say it would go through it in time to whats behind saying that i know its good because it better than say plaster board but i need to know :8:

It's the weight in can take pete but for total waterproof then tanking for me..

 

[Perry]

yes Mark i would agree would use it for the weight say over plaste board thats what it looks like to me

 

[Perry]

Hardi and Aqua panel when you ask if there product is waterproof they both say its unaffected by water you have to ask them again is it waterproof then they say no do i need to tank it they both said yes IMO they give the impression its waterproof naughty

As far as the tanking method is concerned, I always use a membrane rather than a paint on system. But agree with the above comments re: cement boards.
