Why not use stud adhesive for tiled areas?

[Clintonh]

After hanging some Gyprock Aquachek last weekend according to the Gyprock pamphlet I was given by the seller, I have since found a more detailed installation guide on the Gyprock website that says stud adhesive must not be used in areas to be tiled. :o

I hung all my sheets using nails and stud adhesive. Do I have to rip off the sheets in the areas to be tiled and rehang using only nails? Why should stud adhesive not be used for tiled areas?

The instructions don't say why but I was told it was because tiled areas are usually wet areas (bathrooms) and moisture/condesation can get behind the walls causing the adhesive to let go.

Removal shouldn't be needed. Just bang in a few more nails.:2tsup:

Put in some Tek screws as well at 300mm centres. Forget the extra nails.

Thanks very much for the responses.

Should I use screws rather than nails because they will be through the stud adhesive? I have read that as the stud adhesive shrinks it can pop out nails.

Nails or screws wont matter behind the tiled areas.
