Tile board bath panel - Tile Advice

[acaciaguy]

Hello all

I need a recommendation for a bath panel sized tile backer board.

Only slight issue is that bath is extra deep. Floor can’t be entered to get any extra depth for waste and lip of bath will sit at 61cm. Meaning panel needs to be approx min of 58cm.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

20mm delta, wedi, marmox. 600x1200 stock size and bond a piece on the end .

Orbry....

I tend to bond a couple of pieces on the back for extra strength.

Any ‘long board’ will be plenty long enough. No need for joins.

Orbry is 2440mm x 600mm

I’ve got a pic somewhere hang on

Good man thank you. It’s the way to do it. I hate plastic bath panels.

I do an equal amount of both. Instead of the acrylic, I get my manufacturer to make the acrylic coated MDF furniture panels. A top fascia and a bottom plinth.

The plinth is set back like kitchen units and can make a small bathroom seem bigger.

Must be having a senior moment. Forgot about the 2400x600 panels!

How much are those 2400x600 panels?

I have been using these.... The height adjuster for a tight fit has been very useful

Just over a tenner for the long boards

Just over a tenner for the long boards

plus timber supports etc?

The 30mm version doesn't need any timber so that saves time and money.

I don’t like using the panels with adjustable legs personally.

This is what I have been doing for 35 years. The access panel is to the left of the legs. Just silicone the joint. And the 60 x 60 porcelain tile just goes under the lip of the bath.
