Aquapanel Interior tile backing board from Knauf Drywall has eliminated tiling defects for Cavanna Homes over the past five years, during which it has built nearly 600 dwellings. “When tiled walls are subjected to heavy splashing as in a shower the slightest defect in tiling can damage the bond between tile and board or the plasterboard itself,” says commercial manager Mike Bennett. “Since we started using Aquapanel Interior we haven’t had any callbacks for this problem.”
Cavanna has worked with its drylining contractors to develop a standard approach in which the glass fibre reinforced cement board is installed so that it lips over the top of the shower tray on the walls, preventing water getting behind it.
Aquapanel Interior can be scored and snapped like plasterboard and requires no pre-drilling or surface keying. It retains its strength when wet and will not rot or warp. Even when fully immersed in water, it permanently supports up to 50kg/m2 of tiles in the wettest environment.
