Cheers guys. Some great advice.

We (and by that I mean she who must be obeyed!!!) has had a change of heart and so we have just ordered natural stone tiles for the walls which are 12" x 18" and 1/2" thick. These are obviously pretty heavy but the guy in the shop told me to use 10mm aquaboard instead of the plaster board, screwed to the batterns on the partition stud wall. I'm yet to construct the wall so this is no problem, provided you guys recon its suitable?????

For the floor, I'm going to cover it with 12mm ply then 6mm aquaboard (this was going cheap as a stock clearance) then use a flexible adhesive as added safety. I'm using 18" square porcelain floor tiles.

The walls are about 22 sqM with a 5sqM floor.

The same shop guy recommended 4mm grouting on floor and walls.

Any further advice is very welcomed.

Thanks once again. John.
