what to use???

[benny]

i am doing a bathroom this week and have chosen to stud part of it out to hide the slope for the stairs , this will become the shower wall can anyone advise is it best to use normal plasterboard for this wall ????

thanks

you can use plasterboard and tank

but I would use aquapanel or cement board if it was me

I'd use a backer board. Hardie or aquapanel

As above for me too

a couple of things with boxing in under the stairs

you probably werent thinking of it but dont remove the doubletack of plasterboard under the stairs as its fireproofing for the staircase

and the other thing is if your sealing up the void knock a vent hole through somewhere to vent the area, obviously not the shower area
