Bad Walls

[WetSaw]

I've started ripping out this bathroom and the walls are bloody awful. Tiled over plaster( a bit like bonding covered with the Spanish equivalent of Artex). I've got off as much of the plaster as I can but here's my quandary , I've got 60 x 30 porcs to go up. What would be your preferred option?

Looks a bit unusual! Board it out with something of your choice. Plasterboard? Wedi?

I'm probably going with Kerdi board dabbed and mechanically fixed. Just wondered if there was something I'm missing. Having said that, they do do things differently here!

I'm still amazed that there are people who love the stuff!

Kerdie looks good..lightweight......whats are they dabbing with.....plaster board adhesive? or brick mortar? Tile adhesive?

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Tile adhesive (primed walls) but with good mechanical fixings.

mechanical fixings?...i looked at their site...no screws seen...why cant they say what they mean?

They did a whole bathroom with no fixings...just tile ad to stick these panels to....am I wrong?

also the specs imply and feel free to correct me, but implys that it can be used without tanking as its a waterproof product unless you're doing a swimming pool. must be fairly expensive, but if that could be used in domestic applications it looks well good. I wonder how it compares to "no more ply"
