Wickets tile panel

[Lesc]

Hi

I gave a 1300 x 1300 alcove which I am going to use for a shower areA. I've used gyplyner metal studs and wickes/knauf tile panels (I understand that are phasing out aquapanel).

How should I treat the joints?
What about the screw heads?
Should I tank the boards?

Thanks

If you buy a tanking kit it should include everything you need.

You normally get adhesive tape for the joints, the tanking membrane will paint over the screw heads.

The panels won't rot as its cement based but any water that may get though grout lines etc would seep down and rot something else such as the supporting floor, so I tanked up. Easy enough job

That was my understanding anyway!
