Wet Areas: Plywood Alternatives

Anonymous user 5 October 2017 - 1.06 PM

What are the main reasons for using marine and WBP plywood in wet areas when it is prone to warp and rot? Why is plywood used over tilebacker / calcium silicate alternatives? Can tilebacker be used in the walls and floors instead of ply to reduce the risk of tiles cracking?
