Bathroom Repair/Aquapanel advice
Hi,
I'm refitting a bathroom that has had serious water damage to the plasterwork behind the tiles in the shower end of the bath (failed grout.... years ago!). To minimise disruption to the bathroom I was thinking of knocking off the knackered plaster (back to the brick), fixing aquapanel onto the brickwork, and then tiling onto the aquapanel. My problem is - I've spoken to the manufacturers of aquapanel, who are adamant that it must be applied to batons (drylined), but they have not explained why it can't be done any other way. This causes me a problem as the bathroom is only 2m square, so drylining will take up precious space. My question is - can anyone see a problem with (or had experience with) using an adhesive and plugs/screws at 400mm centres to fix the aquapanel straight to the brickwork? Aquapanel instructions are to fasten it at 600mm centres, so adhesive plus smaller centres should be belt and braces shouldn't it, or am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any advice. James |
