    advice on build-up for UFH

    Do my wall tiles have water ingress? (Photos)

    Crazy gap between shower metal frame and tiled wall

    That’s what I would do as long as there is enough adjustment in the profile(so that there is enough space for the glass section to sit fully in).

    Crazy gap between shower metal frame and tiled wall

    Where did I go wrong installing ditra

    Mix it wet as suggested. But once it dries the adhesive soaks in to it would look similar to you picture once dry as long as the coverage looks good when checking when it’s wet it will be fine

    Advice regarding backer board installation

    I wouldn’t worry much about it. You could leave a small gap at celing but wants to be tight to tray/tub so you can seal it
