How to install Villaboard for bathroom shower reno?

[Danne]

Hi all.

I just starting on a shower Reno, installing larger shower base, re-doing walls (going from wall liner to tiles) using a Wet Area Solutions solid surface shower base. I'm sure I will quite a few questions as I work through however first one is around the wall cladding. At the moment the walls are Aquachek, I'm wanting to change the shower area to Villaboard. First problems was Villaboard is 6mm or 9mm and Aquachek is 10mm so joining will require packers on the studs. As I am working within a 1m x 1m shower base (it's a corner shower so 2 walls to do) should the Villaboard be installed Horizontally or Vertically? Second question is how do I join the Villaboard to the exciting Aquachek (taping etc) and should the water proofing extend over that join?

That's a lot to ask..

Thank you 

Danny

Hi @Danne,

If you needed to add screed to support the shower base, then it should say so in the installation instructions. If it is the one I looked at, then it doesn't appear to need it, but I would confirm this with the supplier to ensure it is installed correctly.

Let me know if there is anything else I can assist with, and keep us updated as your project progresses.
