"I agree with my fellow reviewers, this is a good quality product that does what it is supposed to do. Cutting is easy. They are much heavier than plasterboard so bear this in mind when erecting your studwork."

Pros: excellent quality product
"I have used Aquapanel to line the walls around the bath and shower, it is very easy to cut and fit. The manufacturers Knauff have an excellent DIY section on their website with lots of advice. I would recommend that the correct Aquapanel screws are used, I tried drylining screws but soon gave up and used the correct screws which are ceramic coated. I shopped around, Builders marchants etc before deciding where to buy the panels and Wickes were the cheapest by far."

"I have used aquapanels around the sink and the shower cubicle. They are very sturdy and easy to install. The reason I have used aquapanels instead of ordinary plaster boards is because I have heard so many disasters of failing plaster boards in wet areas. Their size makes it really practical as well. Don't forget your joint adhesive or tape."

"I always use this aqua board on stud walls in showers or above the bath if a bath shower is fitted. Then tile onto it using water proof tile adhesive. My trade is bathroom fitter, I often have to rip off rotten plasterboard on stud walls that was just skimmed then tiled (asking for trouble), I replace with this stuff. It works great."

Pros: cost effecttive Cons: need to know what you are doing as are brittle
"Highly recommended for lining a shower before tiling. The most cost effective way I have found for water proofing an area especially if you buy the panels from Wickes, where the panels are much cheaper than other 'centres' I know."
