Morning all. Is there any point in using aquaboard for one side of alcove shower if I am going to tank whole area, other two sides solid wall plaster finish. Will ordinary plasterboard be adequate if tanking. Any suggestions on easiest tanking kit to use. Thanks.

Normal plasterboard should be fine if it is being tanked, but if you have opportunity to it is a good idea to use moisture resistant plasterboard ( it’s cheaper than tile backer board)

I recently used everbuilds aquaseal, which was very good.

You can see moisture resistant plasterboards being foam fixed here-
