    Any alternative to Hardie joint tape?

    I'm in the process of doing a small job using Hardie backer board for the walls. I've tried to use Hardie's own brand of joint tape, but I'm finding that the tape has very little adhesion and is almost coming off the wall at the slightest touch, particularly in the corner joints. I'm a bit...

    Waterproof Self-Adhesive tape

    I am using Marmox Multiboard on a bathroom floor adjacent to a wet room and rather than using Marmox Self-Adhesive Waterproof tape wonder if there is any reason why I shouldn’t use the Aquapanel equivalent? It is half the price. Thank you.

    Tiler hasnt used aquapanel joint tape

    Hi. Hope everyone is well. I am after some advice after a tiler started my bathroom yesterday. I told him twice about the aquapanel joint tape and after getting home from work, I noticed he hasn't used it!! How important is this? My instinct is to have the tiles off and him start again

    Who knew tape measures could be so complex!

    It seems that every day is a school day. Marc ( @3_fall ) and a few of us were discussing tape measures today (yes we really do find these things interesting! :D). It seems that your trusty old tape measure may not be as trusty as you thought!!! It’s something most tilers take for granted...
