I'm thinking about buying some wet room boards, but I've read that so-called magnesium oxide boards, which some time ago were, according to advertising, a "great" board, have now been shown to absorb moisture and become aggressive towards screws, etc.

It's hard to find which suppliers sold these boards, so they can be avoided.

I've looked a bit at Fermacell boards where they state that they press wood chips into the board under high pressure. It doesn't feel ideal to install a board with organic material in a wet room, or what does the panel say? :confused:

For various reasons, I want a hard board and therefore choose to avoid the "lightweight boards" that are available.

Do you have any suggestions for wet room boards that potentially won't need to be removed in a few years due to moisture damage?
 
Hydropanel - fiber cement board. I have only installed a couple of such boards myself, but they are very stable.

Personally, I like humidboard, fiberglass-coated gypsum boards, easy to cut and install with regular drywall screws.

The best way is probably not to use "regular" adhesive in areas that are exposed to water. This is because it is the constant moisture retention in the layer between the tiles and the waterproofing that is the fundamental problem, and it is what needs to be eliminated.
