I`m replacing a shower enclosure and tiles built into a corner of
a plasterboard stud wall ensuite

The previous enclosure + tiles looks as though they weren`t 100%
waterproof so I`m contemplating fitting Wickes Aquapanels which are
supposedly the waterproof method of doing it (They are also
currently at a reduced price) The shower is a hot+cold and not a
mains electric so the pipework will be fitted through the new
panel.

Any tips, advice or suggestions to using fitting these panels in
order to make a waterproof job?


Chas, good stuff. Just stick to the makers instructions. Tiles can
be put directly onto it.

I agree with Dr E (did I really just type that??). Aquapanel is the
mutt's nuts for shower enclosures.

There's a Wickes 'how-to-do-it' leaflet available in store or on their
website:
http://media.venda.com/wickes/ebiz/w...ges/gil/54.pdf (I think you
need to register for the link to work), also ISTR that the Knauf (ie the
manufacturer) website has info about it too. Also google the archives
of this newsgroup for "aquapanel" - it comes up regularly.
