What type of board to use in shower area? And for rest of bathroom?

[flatiron]

Hi everyone,

Been told to use something like Aqua Panel board for the shower area only and then a moisture resistant board (green drywall?) for the rest of the small bathroom.

What do you recommend for the shower area?

What about the rest of the bathroom wall?

Floor?

Thanks

Depends if your tanking it you can use green board eg moisture resistant plasterboard don’t skim/ plaster it tilers don’t like this

Floor depends on existing set up and if you can get away with height increase

Not planning on tanking shower enclosure, so thinking aqua panels will be waterproof enough on their own?

No the joints arnt so you will need to do something on them eg follow manufacturer
