Please can anyone tell me what they think the best board to use behind
the tiles of a shower?
There is either Aqua panel from Knauf - special offer in our local Wickes at
the moment, don't know if it's nationwide, 3 for 2. Normal price £11.99 a
sheet 900 x 1200.

The other is Hardibacker board

Obviously, regular plasterboard is cheapest, but useless if it gets
wet. Can it be coated with PVA to help?

Also, can the tiles be fixed straight to the board or is it essential
to plaster first? Obviously, I am wanting to do as much as I can
myself and whilst the plumbing etc is not a problem for me, a lot of
plastering will be.



TIA.
Rob
