I am about to embark on refitting my existing bathroom (1st floor) and would welcome some advice ref: wall and floor backing boards and tanking.
I am fitting a quad shower with one wall block and plastered and the other stud with a backing board, and then both walls tanked. What backing board do you recommend (aqua panel etc) and can I tank directly over the backing board, or do I need to seal it with something first?
Secondly, I am tiling the floor and fitting single wire underfloor heating (as a tile warmer). My existing floor is 22m T&G and i want to keep the increase in height to a minimum, do you recommend overboarding with 12mm WBP or a 6mm thermal backing board? The room is only about 6m2 (exc bath etc) and I would like to keep the height increase to a max of about 3/4inch (same height as the threshold) inc tiles if possible, any suggestions?
Many thanks....Mark
