    Mirror flush with tiles

    Hi guys, Just a quick question regarding packing out the difference between the tile height and the plasterboard. I've stuck a few mirrors on before but they've always been on a solid wall rather than plastboard, and these tiles are thicker than anything ive used in the past, being 10mm...

    First time using jackoboard

    Thanks Boggs, thats a relief, so many differing opinions with this foam board, as some people have highlighted, the cement face isn't waterproof but the foam is, so I was worried I was losing the benefit of the board as theoretically the cement layer is separating the waterproof foam layer from...

    First time using jackoboard

    Looks ideal, and a very nice price, thanks for taking the time to reply. I was worried that I should have boarded on top of the shower tray rather than pushing the tray up to the board, however I guess a system like this requires the board behind it to rest up against. Do you think the plywood...

    First time using jackoboard

    Hello, could anyone point me in the right direction as to how to seal around a stone resin shower tray. I've previously installed a shower former, in which I used ardex wpc to tank the area and seal the former to the tanked wall, can this method be used when sealing a tray though? I've got...

    Is this a silly question?

    Yeah I'll be using Silicon. I've only done these 4 tiles above the mosaics hopefully they'll be alright, I'll use the spacers on the rest. Theres some fluctuation in the mosaics anyway so probs got a few mm in places

    Is this a silly question?

    Well I've finally made a start, and very happy with how level it is. Only question I now have is should I have left an expansion gap between the floor and wall tiles? Looking online people seem to say you only need an expansion gap for commercial large scale jobs or natural stone, this is just...

    Is this a silly question?

    Thanks for the replies, I've cut the bottom ones and they seem to be pretty level when using the laser level so sure it will be fine, I'll stick them on tomorrow and find out! Thanks again!

    Is this a silly question?

    I'm probably asking a really silly question but here's my problem. I've tiled a few rooms before and the way I start is to screw a piece of wood into the wall low down where the second row of tiles will start I make sure this is level with a spirit level so I have a straight and level...

    Help with ARDEX WPC please!!

    Yeah the HB will all be tanked, not sure how well it will stick to CT1 but I've used it in the furthest corners so fingers crossed shouldn't give me to much trouble, I actually used it to glue the main waste in as I know its suitable for plastic and says its recommended for wetroom. One...

    Help with ARDEX WPC please!!

    Ideal, thanks for your advice as always impish! I ended up putting some CTI over the rest of the scrim tape, to head height as you suggested and just outside, so hopefully this will be okay! I will paint the rest on tomorrow and fingers crossed I'll now have enough for two coats on the...

    Help with ARDEX WPC please!!

    Hello, can anyone advise me as to how far up the wall I should go with the scrim tape and thick mix of ardex wpc. Didn't realise how much of the mix it would use up. Wanted to do it all but not sure if Its needed All walls are solid construction, I was going to paint it all over the floor and...

    AKW TUFF2 Former (ardex over plastic former)

    So I've finally come to a decision. Think I've been overthinking this to much, but I'll go for the ardex tanking system and do what Impish mentioned before of roughing up the former and applying thick ardex to waste and edges of the akw tuff 2 former. I've got some already diluted BAL SBR that...

    Stick or not hardiebacker board.

    The walls will have the wall paper and paint stripped and then I will be applying a liquid tanking to the plaster, which will have tiles. The walls are all solid, no plasterboard in this room Yes ground floor and is suspended timber construction. I have put plenty of noggings in so the 18mm...

    Stick or not hardiebacker board.

    I can still lift the boards, so I guess just coat the back and sides, leave to dry and screw back down. Does anyone know if your ment to use the hardie scrim tape and then put tanking tape over that too? Or can I just put the tanking tape on and forget the scrim tape. Cheers

    Stick or not hardiebacker board.

    Does the ply need sealing? It's going to be tanked as it's a wetroom and it's not marine ply anyway? The plywood has only been cut on the wall edges, so I guess it would only be needed to be sealed on cut sides? The general opinion I got from people was if you have water getting through the...

    Stick or not hardiebacker board.

    Hello, finally got around to getting my floor down, I've used 6mm hardiebacker on top of a new 18mm plywood sub floor. Now I know the idea behind sticking the boards down with adhesive is to eliminate any unlevel/air gaps under the boards, however this floor is brand new and the bathrooms so...

    AKW TUFF2 Former (ardex over plastic former)

    That's good to know impish. The only problem with using the sheet aswell is on their website it states that the form safe is not to come into contact with other tanking sealant as it can dissolve the form safe membrane. Awkward

    AKW TUFF2 Former (ardex over plastic former)

    It seems that ardex liquid tanking is a very popular choice on this forum and I am hoping to use some in my wetroom, however does anyone know if it's okay to use on a plastic shower former? The only thing I can find online is people recommending I lightly sand the surface of the former and AKW...
