hi guys I have just fitted a akw tuff form tray and Mapei tanking system to my upstairs bathroom and I am looking for some advice on the fall lines I had a tiler tell me that he would ignore the fall lines on the tray and take his fall cuts from the corner of waste to corner of wall as I looks...
Hi all, I'm not much of a forum poster, and am also new here to this one.
Additionally, in pre-admission, I'm no professional tiler (although I've successfully performed various vast scale tiling jobs at home), just an avid DIYer.
My situation which lead me to post here revolves around me...
Just to split out from the thread origin.

right this is going to sound dumb but could someone please clarify - when the wetroom glass says for example 975-1000mm / 25mm adjustment
Does this mean that the glass itself is 975mm and using the channel can be extended to 1m
Or
The glass itself is actually 1m but can be sunk deeper into...
Hi again
Last week several of you helped me out with advice for a wetroom floor. There were a few different methods, but in the end I decided to go with the following - it's possibly overkill, but I'd rather be safe than sorry (and I'm in the unusual position of not wanting the floor layers to...
Hi guys!
Right, so I'm starting this job next week (I'm the builder as you know!) so I need to run by you the method I was planning on.
So its a wetroom. 1m x 4m approx. tiled floor, tiled shower area. Pretty much all components (sink, toilet, etc) will all be 'floating' so a clean floor...
A wetroom renovation needs completing. Impey tray has failed. Needs ripping out and replacing with Wedi ligno tray. Tiles need removing on 2 walls boarding up with Wedi and tiling. Wetroom area to be sealed with Wedi.

Hi all, apologies if I have not put this is the correct place.
I am currently in the process of renovating my bathroom with new suite and 10mm ceramic tiles floor to top.

Hi there
I'm a DIYer putting in an upstairs wetroom floor. I'm currently at the stage of floor joists, which I've beefed up with extra noggins so it's good and solid.
Does the following list of layers make sense? Is it overkill (or underkill!)? All comments very much appreciated!

Hello everyone.
My builder is going to lay my electric UFH today and I want to check he’s doing it right.
I’m having a wet room made, so the chipboard floor has been replaced with 18mm plywood and then ditra mat on top. The shower former is a Tough-X designed to rest directly on joists (The...

Hi All,
Please can you advise what former I require for a wetroom area of 1450 x 1100?
Looking through this forum, I know the impey former is not highly regarded. However, Wedi seems to be. Is it possible to cut the Wedi primo 1500x1500 tray down to my size?
The former will be fitted on to...
