A new day and something new to learn about......Cardboard partition of all things? - Tile Advice

[DavieA]

Ok so have a basic job of tiling a small bathroom that joiner was ripping out and reboarding but today called me round to say walls are not traditional stud partitions but are cardboard honeycomb wich ive neither tiled onto or heard of.

Im wondering if you guys have come accross it and any tips on best practices re cardboard partitions:yikes:?

Cheers all Davie

Hi Davie, this stuff sounds like paramount board to me. Imo not suitable for tiling

The trouble with paramount is any changes can effect both sides of the wall.

So would it be better to have walls skimmed if there damaged after removing addy or dot and dab plasterboard arund room so effectivly begin tiling on plasterboard?

rip it out and replace with a hardibacker or no more ply board in the wet areas. Is the room half tiler and is there a shower area?

I would dot and dab new board over the top then tank in the shower area..
