    Waterproof Pipe Collars when tanking floor?

    When tanking a marine ply floor with a paint-on tanking product, should these type of waterproof pipe collars be used, or is the tanking enough? If used, would they go on before or after tanking product is applied? Pipes would be going through the floor from bath, basin, radiator, toilet supply...

    Paint-on tanking products for floors

    Is it correct that paint-on tanking products for a floor require more than one coat, with subsequent drying time between coats? If that's the case, would I be correct in thinking that a waterproof matting product adhered to the floor timber before tiling is quicker to put in place? Thanks.

    Liquid tanking and how it affects weight limits..

    Above is a job I went too a month ago. The contractor said we’ve tanked the walls for you! I told him I wouldn’t tile the slope as it was and with 900x300mm tiles. Why he asked! I used my thumbnail to pick a bit off then proceeded to peel it like an orange - that’s why! So my question. If the...
