Dot & Dab Aquapanel?

[bazzybabes]

Please can you help me?

I have purchased eight sheets of Aquapanel and have just found out that you can't fix them with dot and dab! (£11.10 each at B&Q if you buy five or more).

I was going to fix them on three sides of a bath.

One short side is ok cause it is battened but this is not the side where the shower is going.

The long side is an outside wall built with Thermalite blocks and is hard to screw to.

The other short side, in the shower area, is an internal stud wall but it's only a couple of inches thick and not made with 3x2 timbers.

Is there a way to stick Aquapanel directly onto the wall?

Otr should I get a plasterer in to use some waterproof plaster and tile on top that?

Regards, Barry

Could you not use plasterboard dot and dab then tank the board, don't know if your'll find waterproof plaster, it's a gysum product which soak water like a sponge, again you could tank it

Thanks for your reply, Whitebeam.

Seems it was a really silly question I was asking.

I'll take the Aquapanel back on Monday and buy 12.5mm plasterboard and D&D.

And then it's "A-Tanking We Will Go!"

Can I order Dura-wp through Wetdec as a DIY-er?

I'm sure he would love to sell you some, Diyer or not
