RE: Shower Cubicle: plasterboard & tiling vs all in 1 enclos

Tiling onto green Moisture Resistant plasterboard

Started 1 month, 3 weeks ago (2009-11-03 17:17:00) by lovellypink

Am confused by so much conflicting advice info about what needs to be done first to tile onto moisture resistant plasterboard. Completely refitting bathroom. Internal partition walls are new moisture resistant plasterboard (being replacements for ruined old stramut strawboard walls) Can i tile straight onto these, or do I need to apply pva first etc. Thanks
