HOW TO - Board a bathroom or wetroom

welcome to the city at how to board a bathroom we're going to look at two possible boards the senior aqua board and the cement particle board we have our petition installed so what I need to do is take the cilia aqua board and cut to size I provide is available in two sizes the 850 by 1200 it's convenient because most of us have small bathrooms it's also available in two four by 1200 which we would find it very difficult to manipulate and install it in a small bathroom it's available in two thicknesses 12.5 and 50 mil it's easily cut to size by using a cutting knife tape measure and a straightedge take the measurement requirement I'm mark using our straight edge you can place that on the two marks and run the cutting knife down the length of the straight edge we can then turn the board snap and cut remember if you're installing the stood work prior to fixing the echo board the studs need to be at 400 centers to take the additional weight of tiles the aqua high thread screw tried in tested to a thousand hours of saltwater you need a minimum of 25 millimeters into the timber so a 12 and a half mil board plus 225 millimeters gives you 37 and a half to meet the minimum requirement we have a 42 millimeters screw aqua board can actually be placed on the ground we have mentioned in previous videos that no plaster board should ever be in contact with the ground but aqua board is water resistant mold resistant and is perfect for bathrooms wet rooms we now need to fix the Aqua board using the high thread aqua high thread screws the screws themselves need to be 300 millimeters apart so we can use if you use our drill to block out the screw centers remember we fix our screws every 300 millimeters our studs are actually 400 millimeters apart therefore we need a an additional screw in the soleplate at the bottom that's how we fix a kobold we're now ready to cut and fix on a cheat I'm now going to demonstrate the cutting and fixing the cement particle board the first thing I notice is that the boards are much heavier we can mark the size the board required taking that straight edge this time I can't cut and snap so I do need to use a handsaw before I do I also need to put on my dust mask we're now ready for cutting with my board cut to size I'm now ready to fix it he's fixing the exactly the same way at the Apple board that's my cement particle board now fixed now let's show you how both boards can be finished there are two methods of finishing a keyboard we can tile directly onto it or we can tape and joint in the normal manner and that's what I'm going to demonstrate now so to finish the joint we're going to use aqua mix I'm also going to bed a paper tape once we've applied our core mix we can now better take the tapes now bedded now need to fill allowed to dry and then we give it another coat I join team filled obviously taping and jointing traditionally is a three coach system so this one now and dry have a filler and final a finish coat using the aqua mix and that's dry lightly sanded to give a perfectly flat background we then move on to sealing the surface prior to decoration using the Cindy up drywall sealer if you've got a challenge for silver you can contact me on my email address or by my facebook page
