Alternatives to Knauf Aquapanel Wall Board

[Dan]

What alternatives to knauf aquapanel do we have lads? Generically speaking. What's the new way to tile instead of using knauf aquapanel?

 

[Ttt1601]

Hate aqua pannel, never use unless supplied before I get there, Jacko board or similar if in wet area, plaster board of if not on walls, or no more ply on floors

This any better? I think @JulianSidney was talking about it or using it the other day but can't find the thread.

Does Aquapanel still contain Silica?

 

[Ttt1601]

I would be interested in that too, hopefully Jillian will let us know

I use Marmox most of the time. I cringe when somebody tells me they have boarded shower walls out with aquapanel.

Yes, from memory there is silica in the Portland cement of aquapanel.

So it's the cement not the MMMF fibre thingies then.

I'd sooner tank plasterboard.

It's not water proof, it's probably not cheap, can't see any point to it

 

[Dan]

Yeah I'm not using it I'm going to write a bit of a guide about it an explain where we are at with bathrooms these days when we need to board out.

Let @impish write it out, he's good at explaining all that.
