Which Tile Backer Board

[tiletorment]

After the storming success opf my first question... what a great response!

My new shower is currently mostly stud partition, with no board yet.
I was going to use a tile backer board straight onto the studs, cos it's easy, and gives a good flat surface to tile onto.

There are a number of types available.
The one I have easiest access to is Aquapanel - because they sell it in Wickes.

But I have read of 'Hardie' board, 'no more ply' and Wedi board.
All lcaim similar things, but Wedi in particular, seems to have a different structure - with a foam core.

What do other people use?

Charlie is only kidding of course. Backerboards are water resistant and very good for showers or any wet areas. The joining of the boards should be tanked or waterproofed, so any boards are good for the purpose.....Gaz
