Hi, I'm looking for a super-thin backer board, in order to tile a stud wall on both sides and have one tile (60mm wide) on each end.

Haven't found anything less than 6mm, so I'm wondering whether I have to go with 3mm ply (not a recommended substrate I know)

The stud wall is only 600mm long and will be reinforced to support the thinness of the boards, also I'm hoping that the small size of the tile will help with any movement (60mmx240mm).

Does anyone know if this is achievable?

Many thanks in advance for your help
