Hello all.

I am after some advice. I am doing a bathroom job and have discovered that the walls are made of corrugated cardboard with plasterboard either side and then more plasterboard dot and dabbed onto this using multi finish. This extra layer has been removed and I want to add green moisture board to this before tanking. As there is no way to add fixings into this board, what is the best way to stick the boards to the board below? I contacted the company that makes the drywall adhesive a d they said it is only meant for masonry or block walls.

Would a polyurethane foam application be ok as in for holding the tiles?

Here are some images of the walls.

Thanks guys

CLS is perfect for this, strip back the plasterboard and cardboard from one side and stick in 3x2 CLS timber with CT1 or the like and re board.
Won’t bring you out much more than the existing meaning door linings won’t need to be extended.

I would if they had the money. But no as they have been given a amount as a relocation for work.

They would also ask why whe the previous tiles were on solid attached to this you see

On the left of that wall is there a stud? The door frame will have one. Take the architrave off the door frame. There could also be a head plate and foot plate ( Wood). Is so fit the plasterboard to these. And get some noggins in across. Do they care how long it will last?
