Which drywall paneling to use in laundry reno?

[lizzzblizzz8]

we recently gutted our old laundry room and had someone come treat and remove the asbestos walls and ceilings.  We now need to replace these walls and ceiling to begin our reno-  which type of gyprock is best to use for wet rooms such as laundry or bathrooms?  And how do we prep the cement floors for tiling. Cheers

Hi @lizzzblizzz8,

The best plasterboard to use in this situation is Aquachek. Most Bunnings stock it in a variety of sizes depending on your requirements (3000x1200, 2400x1200).

The main thing when preparing a concrete slab is to confirm that it is both as flat as possible and level. The best way to achieve this to use a self levelling compound such as Lanko 173 Floor Leveller.

A look at How Do You Level a Floor? Should help with your understanding of the process. 

If you need more advice, I’m happy to help.
