Retiling wetroom advice on how best to proceed

[Waluigi]

I’m glad you said Hansgrohe Shower Select and not Grohe Shower Smart.

You need a degree just to put the handles on to the shower smart.

I hope it goes well.

Any advise guys, I wish to build a mini dwarf wall at the end of my bench, which the shower glass will be cut so that it fits over the wall. Rather then the glass being flushed with the side of the bench.

What size shall I make this wall. The bench is 460mm in depth and about 550mm in height.

What size wall look the best?

Also, I was wondering if instead of the 25mm wbp plywood i am planning to use to overboard the joist, can I use the Knauf Gifaboard either the 18mm or 25mm, will this be as strong as plywood and be suited for the purpose of removing any deflection and strengthening the floor?

So stage 2 done wall tiles removed, the Hilti machine was awesome! Impey blank stick tanking of death horrible stuff to take off. As a side not only 1m in height of the wall was tanked.

Tanked with tilesafe?

Impey used to say that the maximum thickness of tiles and adhesive onto tile safe was only to be 10mm which wrote off virtually every single tile I was expected to install.

Not sure It was their first tanking product

Not sure It was their first tanking product

If it was black bitumen and evil it was tile safe

Didn’t like hot rooms, didn’t like cold rooms.
