Aquapanel (prep for tiling ) 

Glad I helped out. ;)

Hiw did it go

Depends on what your using it for !? If it’s interior then a standard acrylic primer to stop suction and drying adhesive out ….message for more information if needed

Hey Seth…to be honest a simple acrylic primer isn’t expensive and doesn’t take long to do …it stops the suction and let’s the tile bond better to board. Not major but your definitely notice a difference…gives you more work time too

Filling the joint with a flex tile adhesive as with what you would like tiles. As for waterproofing if it’s a wet room area maybe. I usually tape internal corners as that’s the most prone to leak. Sometimes tanking I find is overkill and an added expense. Hope this helps

That's great, thanks so much @@TheBeardedTiler

No I guess with wall panels you would be using a silicone based adhesive to adhere too

@@TheBeardedTiler thanks for reply. I've got solvent-free gripfill to stick panels. It think the panel company recommend solvent-free so it doesn't eat into plastic panel.

@wantingtolearn2732 will be fine with out sealing then.

@@TheBeardedTiler great stuff. Thanks.

So these bathrooms were fixed with plywood before fixing aquapanel over the top. This then gives you your fixings. These boards were glued and screwed,hence no washers. I find hardiebacker is better but more labour time to fix . It’s sturdier to work with though. Does this help ???

@@TheBeardedTiler cheers mate. I am doing 4 ensuite shower rooms a family bathroom and a cloak room. If I use ply anyway why can I not just use the 6mm?

To be honest if your doing that …why not use hardie backer ??? Saves you time as your only loading the wall once ?? This was done to spec of designer …there are so many different types of board out there …I know that cement board can take longer but has a better load per sqm2 …just make sure it’s sealed as it sucks the moisture out of adhesive …

@@TheBeardedTiler many thanks. I bought the Aqua on advice but will most def go foam core next few bathrooms. The tiles are only 9mm porcelain! What an idiot, won't be doin it this way again. I have 120 msq of 900x600 natural stone to lay after this!

Depends what your going onto …usually use hardie backer on floors ….always worth screwing and adhesive to give best results

Yes….personally I would say yes as long as it’s diluted ..hope this helps
