    Wickes sell the dedicated screws and scrim tape for the joins.

    You only need to put the aquaboard where there are to be tiles.Any areas to be plastered need to be normal plasterboard.

    You only need Aquapanel where it's likely to get wet. It is a cement based product and therefore doesn't go soggy when it gets wet. http://www.knaufdrywall.co.uk/files/HTECHDEPTBSTARKBTMwebsitesKnauf_DrywallLiteratureAquapanel_Mar_06.pdf
    So for domestic situations it's only needed in shower areas and wetrooms and the like.

    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
    It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.
