I was going to use ply but found these on the web they are similar as the marmox kits.
My question is do you still need a frame under the bath

Plus any pointers would be helpful.
Thank You

A lot of baths these days don't need a frame for support, but I suppose they would if you are making a panel. That said the cement board in the video is pretty thick so probably wouldn't need a framework. There's nothing to stop you making one of course, and using thinner cement board(9-12mm)Never used them. If I was using them I would deffo use a frame, last thing you want is the tiling failing because there is too much flex....
Thanx for hi-jacking this thread..Markt wrote:Hi I am going to be using the same sort of panel as mentioned in this post.
The manufacturers instructions say that ready mixed cement must not be used for tiling.
Does anyone know the reason why, is there any primer that could be applied to allow ready mix to be used on the cement panel.
I have enough ready mix left and I do not want to have to buy a whole bag of adhesive just to tile such a small area unless I really need to.
Thanks in advance
