Just been round to a job where the plumber has installed a shower tray and siliconed up the edges against the backerboard (Marmox type - unsure of make) - all fine, except he has smeared it into a thin layer approx. 30mm up all the way around.
Planning to tank the shower using Mapegum etc...

anybody got experience of using small mosaics, 25mm or so, on a showerlay tray? Marmox say it's ok for domestic use but their official word seems to be 50mm.
Any input welcome as my customer is set on a 25mm mosaic.

Having never done it, can you guys advise on a rough step by step guide for fixing marmox or hardie to different kinds of wall.
For studded and skimmed walls and for brick walls both plastered and not plastered. Need to know about the gluing and screwing for both instances.
Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon. I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of quick question to get your views on this. I always tank wet areas using the ardex tanking system. Would you still tank the bath/shower areas if wedi board has been used to board these areas out. I've never fixed to wedi board before. I...

I've never used Wedi before (I have used Hardie in the past), however I'm always looking to try out a "new" product and what better...

Hello
I am new to the forum and would appreciate some expert advice.
The question is: Is there some kind of self-leveling compound that can be used ON TOP of Marmox boards.
Having just knocked down a dividing wall, I find that one floor (already insulated with Marmox) is LOWER than the other...

Hi All,
I previously posted a question about how to position my backer board but as this is my first attempt at tiling I wanted to make sure I actually need it and I'm not just making extra work for myself.
When I took the old tiles off the majority of the old plaster came off with them...
Hi, first post here.
Having read many posts on the use of ply vs backerboard, I have decided to tile over existing sound floorboards in the hall using 6mm Hardiebackerboard. The board is 1200 x 800 and the width of the hall is 1260mm. Would you recommend a 60mm strip along a wall edge...

Hi,
I'm after some advice on preparing the walls and floor of a bathroom for tiling. I want waterproof boards around the shower, and I'm currently going with Marmox. First question is on the stiffness of the Marmox boards: are 12.5mm boards really OK to go straight onto stud walls? There won't...
