Sticking Pvc to tanking

[GoneGuy]

Last steam room I did , tiled the curved ceiling with mosaics . Maybe you should consider over boarding your ceiling with jackoboard , seal only the joints and screw holes and then tile it .

That would last longer than pvc panels

Is it something I can catch or do you think I've been immunised against it .

Fix a j trim around the perimeter stick with low modulus silicone and fix through the tongue with stainless steel staples . Kop

With a steam room you have to be careful that what you use can cope with the heat and any movement caused by it. The ceiling will be the hottest part of the room.

The cladding I am using can be used in steam room up to 60°. Can use silicone on it but they won't say if it will stick to the tanking.so going to try stick like rubbish,see how I get on.its more shower room than steam,I have all the bits for steam so thought I would put them in while I'm at it.

Do you have a data sheet for the cladding?

There are some things that sticks like S**t should not be used on.

Might be best to double check the side of the cladding you’re bonding to doesn’t contain these:-

It was touched on earlier but I’d definitely do a test piece and hold it above a kettle or something

.......Or over a simmering saucepan

I haven't tried this in this situation, but if you Google a product called CT1 it sticks pretty much anything to anything. I would suggest giving them a call for advice on compatability.

Don't mind me while I bump up some older but good threads. If you can contribute to the thread, go ahead. But if it's nothing for you then don't reply and it'll soon drop off the What's New page etc.
