I’ve not been on for a while since completing a new fully tiled ensuite last year. Help on here was superb! Thank you.
I’m onto the main bathroom now which has been gutted and then plaster-boarded. This was done 6 months ago. I’m thinking of creating a new shower cubicle which will have a sliding door, rather than a door & glass side panel. To do this i need to build either a stud wall, plasterboard, then tank the whole area with ardex ( as i used last time) or possibly use 50mm x 2500mmx 900mm jackoboard. If i went this route I was thinking I could line the other 2 plasterboard walls with 6mm jackoboard to maintain consistancy.
questions:
1) is a 50mm jackoboard strong enough to withstand a sliding door closing against it?
2) how would the door frame fix to the jackoboard.
3) can the end of the 50mm jackoboard be bonded to the existing dot & dab plasterboard
4) is 6mm jackoboard on the plasterboard walls thick enough to tile onto - 10mm 250 x 600 porcelain.
Sorry for the long post! Tia.
