    Default Hardibacker or Aquapanel?

    Hi there,

    I'm in the process of replacing a shower area, have taken off old tiles and all existing plasterboard which was in a bad way as it had obviously leaked for quite a while.

    Can anybody tell me what the difference is between Hardibacker and Aquapanel and which is best to use, and can I tile straight onto them? Travertine tiles (I know, lucky me) as well if that makes a difference.

    They both do the same thing for walls but in a slightly different way, and yes you can tile straight onto them. Travertine will be fine with either board as their max weight capability is plenty high enough for stone.

    I prefer hardie due to the fact it feels better quality, aqua board seems a course mixture to cut.
