Took off the kitchen splashback tiles and behind them was a material/sheeting that looked like many pieces of thick gray cardboard paper stuck together with some fiber sticking out. Easy to peel off into separate layers. It looks like flattened egg carton layers stuck together. I think this is just good old plasterboard but wanted to know what you guys thought. This material goes straight on to (real) bricks. I estimate it to be about 2-3mm thick when not disturbed.
It can't be cement sheet can it? Just plasterboard? Cos I thought cement sheet would be harder and can't be "peeled" into layers. But I thought one needed to have cement sheeting behind splash tiles?

Sheeting behind bathroom wall tiles labelled asbestos free hardiflex, but this sheeting was much harder and brittle compared with the material behind the kitchen tiles
Thanks.
