Getting tempted to move over to Foam boards for all showers. - TilersForums.com

Just picked up some Orbry board and was quite surprised how cheap it was. £21 for 2.6M x 0.6m x 20mm thick.

The 12.5mm board is about the same.

20mm Board you only need 600mm stud centres.

Does anyone use a foam board on all of their showers?

I think I’m going to move over to it a bit more.

It also depends on what tile I’m using.

 

[Waluigi]

Absolutely. Something heavy and it’s got to be foam IMO

I would only ever board a wall with XPS board.

 

[Waluigi]

Blimey, every single time you board a wall it’s with a Foam board?

 

[Flintstone]

That's right! About thrice a year

I think Jacoboard is a better price!

 

[Waluigi]

Even better!

I don’t have a local stockist unfortunately. Mine only stocks marmox, Orbry and Kerdi Board.

CTD - 100+ depots and deliver.

That’s one place I very rarely have used over the years. I must make a point of popping in to a branch as I wanted to look at Sigma cutters too.

6.17 miles away. Not bad.
