What material for a bath panel?

[Bartlett]

Just curious.... what do you guys prefer to use when building a bath panel which is to tiled? I have to do one on Monday and I will use 2x2 for the frame and in the past I have used ply or aquapanel. Just wondering what you would do? Thanks.

Personally i don't like ply bath panels..

I use either aqua panel like you or plaster board..

Ha ha, me neither! Dont't like the look of them, don't like doing them! Never used p/board for one; is it strong enough?

It depends on what you are using on it.. but as long as the frame is supported enough then 12.5mm PB is great and no water gets to it if you use Silicon in the perimeters of it.

But the better option is aqua panels but as you well know some customers won't pay for it.. so PB does work..
