Tanking

[Flintstone]

When your doing a wet room, with ufh, do you tank the room, then lay wires then slc then tile,
Or
Do you lay the wires and slc, then tank and tile,

I'm interested to see which way folks do it

 

[J Sid]

tank first for me

Tank first for me also.

I struggle with the concept of tanking beneath ufh in a wet area.
To me that's backwards.
why would you put anything on top of tanking other than the final finish or a waterproof membrane.
Unless you're covering the ufh and slc with a waterproof membrane.

I always tank the floor as the last surface to be worked on prior to tiling

 

[peteablard]

I tank over the latex

Ditto

 

[J Sid]

can't see any advantage to do before or after but willing to be educated.
question, at what point do you place your uncoupling mat?

 

[Flintstone]

I have always tanked before,

My theory is that ufh over tanking means that at some point somewhere in the room you will have to compromise the tanking for the sake of the ufh. Plus not all tanking is suitable for ufh on top. My take on it anyhow
