Marine Plywood and Tiling

[vik2001]

Hi guys, i need a clean cut answer please.
in my bathroom it has been plastered, but i have a stud wall along the shower area which i have screwed down with marine plywood.

ive read so many conflicting stories about tiling over marine plywood. wot do i need to do to make tiling successful over marine plywood 12.5mm thick on a stud wall.

cheers

Not the best wall surface to tile on in my opinion, but certainly possible. What tiles are you using?

hi
they going to be ceramic tiles, about 30cm in height. what particulars should be considered when tiling over marine plywood.

the rest of the walls in the bathroom have been freshly plastered

Just use Bal White Star. http://194.223.92.131/pdf/Technical Data Sheets/B & C Technical Data Sheets/Bal_White_Star.pdf
You'll get about 3.5m² to a tub so that works out at about £5/m². It's not cheap but it is good. http://www.trades-direct.co.uk/modules/shop/products.asp?rangeid=102
