`I was thinking of using waterproof wallpaper in the bathroom, but in connection with other questions, it emerged from a store that I can't tile on my masonite walls.
The carpenter made it sound like double plasterboard was a requirement for tiles precisely because it bears the weight...
I thought masonite must absolutely handle the weight and believed I had all the possibilities for the future..
But now it was explained to me that masonite is living and moves, so everything goes down the drain...?`

I have something that I believe is "sjösten" in the kitchen that is mounted on masonite. I'm pretty sure it's been there since before 2004, but it was the previous owner who put it up. It's not impossible for it to remain securely, but it's likely not just for fun that the carpenter wants double plasterboard.

It's really not about being able to support the weight of the tiles.
What it's about is achieving a certain flexural stiffness so that movements in the wall don't cause cracks in the tiles and joints.
Moreover, it's never good to set tiles directly on masonite either.
Personally, I think it's sufficient to glue a 6mm gypsum board and then set tiles on it, as there's often significantly closer spacing than cc600 in the walls when they are made of masonite...
Additionally, you can use a flexible mortar that absorbs movements better than regular adhesive.
Prefabricated houses with masonite walls often only had 25cm between the studs in the walls, which stiffens things up considerably as well.

The masonite is theoretically too soft, the tiles can come loose. BUT - once when I was renovating a kitchen, I tore down the tile over the sink and it was stuck so hard. I had to break several of the pieces, it was impossible to pry them off. And it was on a masonite with studs cc 60 and had been there since the 40s.
haha is it pressed cardboard nowadays?
I have, anyway, of the kind that requires devilish force to break.
but now I have the impression that it's just that it can move..
It is so custom-measured for the cabinet etc., so installing renovation plasterboard is out of the question... it'll have to be wet room wallpaper..
