Hi, I would love a wet room - but we've been advised that because we have floor boards this isn't a good idea - any advise or suggestions welcome, thanks Gill
Hi guys,
I'm looking to get some hand display boards. Either in coloured mdf or perspex. (need black or white, not sure yet) Also they need to have the carry handle cut out like the boards you find in all tile showrooms.
Does anyone know where I can get them? any ideas on the cost?
Cheers...
Hi
I am planning to install a wetroom using Marmox showerlay, 20mm Marmox boards for the rest of the room and have a recessed shower screen (10mm, 1200 x 2000mm) with channel embedded between tiles.

Hi again. Does anyone know where I can get Marmox boards 40/50 mm from.
I would prefer to pick up in cornwall but delivery would be good.
Also will I be able to remove a floating floor and foam, then lay these onto the floor thats left and tile straight onto these.
Thanks for any info.

Hi,
Just getting to the stage before tiling in one of my bathrooms. I'm fitting tile backer boards to a full wall and half of the adjoining wall to where a 1200x800 shower will go. The walas are concrete block and have had Thistle bondit applied (the green sandy gluey paint), then a bonding...
Hi all, when fitting Marmox boards around a shower bath is it best to get the bath in situ and board up the to the bath or board the entire wall and then put the bath in after. Does it not make too much difference either way (apart from saving some board if you go down the first route)? Thanks

After reading through the forum have bought some 10mm Marmox Backer Boards, plastic Marmox washers, Marmox sealant and Mapei Keraquick to fix with.
