Hi,
I'm refitting a bathroom and need to build a stud wall to hide pipes
and the waste from the shower tray. What's the best size wood to get
without going overboard? also, is there a particula type of
plasterboard I should get (an off the wall shower will be installed
against this wall when tiled).

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Mark


marine ply about 3/8" is top banana. If you want a decent finsih nail
plasterboard on it.

MDF ain't bad at all, and tiles and paints well, but cracks between
sheets may be an issue - hard to get it all right in one sheet. Lining
paper maybe...

Plasterboard is fine really - use foil backed of course - if you make up
mounting plates behind for the shower stuff.
