Good evening all. ![Thumbs Up :thumbsup: :thumbsup:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
My next project involves tiling around a bath with a shower within a 7 year old apartment. When removing the previous tiles and walls i found hardibacker board at the shower end of the bath and double skin plasterboard on metal studs at the other ends.
My initial plan was to use 12mm hardibacker boards throughout because i'm installing large format tiles, however i'm having second thoughts becuase of the lack of thermal properties of this board. Is a thermal backerboard such as Marmox thhe only way forward £££, or would fitting i fit 1 x layer of plasterboard and overlay with hardibacker a better way to go?
Alternative sugestions much welcomed as usual.
Cheers
AJ
