Best Moisture Board & Mapeii adhesive - TilersForums.com

I am just about to have a bathroom renovation done and have been reading about different plasterboards. My first question is what board would be suitable for larger tiles 120 x 60 and should it just be cement board or although more expensive, marine ply? Or do you have a better suggestion? The walls are going back to brick and being coated in liquid plastic before boards are put up.
My second question is, using mapeii products which adhesive for the size tile would you guys recommend?

Hi. Why are the walls being coated with this liquid plastic? , can you be more specific

Rather than PVA, liquid plastic is virtually impenetrable, so as we have access to it, seemed like a good idea. the main query is regards to the tile size, boarding and adhesive

That’s why i asked, so we can advise on adhesive that will bond to it.

Ahh, I get it, this would go directly on the brick and then a board to be affixed as usual, not sure what board but one that would be able to take the weight

Any poly core cement faced board will accept a lot of weight. Check with manufacturers on fixing methods. Most are screw and washer fixing or dowels
