Hi all,
We've been having a bit of a disaster with our renovation, specifically with the kitchen floor. We had a tiler in, however some of the tiles he has laid are a noticeably different shade to the others (see picture). I have since found out that this is due to them being from a different...

Hi,
I am installing a shower tray 1400x800 in a space the bath used to be. There are various pipes that sit above the floorboards which I can't really re-route.
I wanted to ask can I build a solid wooden frame secured to the floorboards and to the joists and ply over the top, then put the...

Hi
I am in the process of fitting a new En suite out and have recently bought a 2m2 heat mat with digital timer. So far I have chased through the walls, ran the electric feed to a fused spur (3A - it's only 150w rating) and ran conduit to the floor ready for the mats cables. The question I have...
hello
The floor is 18mm WBP Ply fixed to the floor joists.
Is it best to fit the hardie backer board over the whole floor, and then fit the shower tray onto the backer board, or fit the tray onto the ply floor then butt the backer board upto the edge of the tray?
Also, the tray instructions...

An easy to use kit containing everything required to waterproof a shower in one tub. Contains: Mapegum WPS, Shower Waterproofing Kit Primer and Waterproofing tape.
For further information on the Shower Waterproofing Kit visit products - http://bit.ly/2e6QU0R
As a tile fitter only - as I don't get involved in room prep prior to tiling, would it be down to me to tape and fill joints between backerboards before tiling or would you expect the installer of the boards to complete this proces or inform me that this proces is required?
Can these large sheets of 2.5mm thick Whiterock panels be bent into a corner shape without the expensive former, it can it be done with a hot air gun on a bench?
Anyone experienced in installing Whiterock 2.5m/m pvc wall panel(type used in hospitals and kitchens 3mtrx 2mtr sheets), my question is what is the best adhesive, best application and where it is stocked. Thanks
apologies if this is in the wrong section.
When installing a resin/stone type shower tray, directly on a wooden floor, what do people use to keep it in place, adhesive/sealant etc.
Might add that it will be sitting on green chipboard, and I can't raise it up due to restricted headroom.

About a year ago, I had 64 sqm porcelain tiles installed on top of a concrete slab, forming a patio.
This was part of a large build, and there was a clear spec that the tile adhesive be applied as a "bed" using a "notched trowel method", which I think means that the whole underside of the tile...
