    Shower tray / tile gap

    Hi, I have just tiled my bathroom wall and done the last row around the shower tray. I wasn’t sure how much gap to leave but it ranges between 4mm and 5mm. I have tanked the walls and used the Mapei tape also around the shower tray. Are those size gaps ok? Looks like sealant would fill them...

    Ditra over shower pan

    Aloha everyone. I've embarked on a bathroom remodel. I opted to use the hydro block shower pan and system. When I notched my joists and set my presloped pan, I've ended up flush with the existing wood subfloor. As such, now if I put any hardi board on top of subfloor, the transition to the...
