In a new wet room there will be many butt joints in the tile backer board/ insulation board on the walls & the floor. I plan to use expensive self adhesive waterproof tape around the shower former. However to use this tape everywhere would be very expensive so could I use self adhesive scrim...
I was going to fix backerboards with a continuous bed of adhesive (presuming they're not too squiffy), or dot-and-dab plus fixings if they look nasty. The wall is a standard thermalite type block thing. Might be a silly question but do I need to prime the wall or is the adhesive all right to go...
Hi all, first post so apologies if I don't get my questions quite right and ask too many; I am looking for some advice on a new shower enclosure project.
I am currently remodelling my main bathroom and plan to do most of it myself (except for the tiling.)
I am a reasonably experienced DIY'er...
Hi,
Just wondering the correct procedure for fixing 12mm cement backer boards onto Thermalite blocks (assuming this is acceptable) . I'm thinking glue and screw using cement based adhesive?
Just about to line my en-suite out with Marmox boards onto the existing (new build) hardwall finish. Primed with Mapei G first and will use spankers/dowels but what's the consensus on dot n dab vs full bed of addy?
Will end up with 300 x 600 9mm porcs on top, but the spankers are there to...

Hi all, starting a wet room floor soon, have a few questions I would like some help with!
The floor has already been installed by a builder and has Hardi backer boards down, running up to the tray, but will need levelling before reaching it.
1. Hardi backer is not waterproof, so how does self...

Hello all you lovely knowledgeable forum members! We are about to take on a bathroom refit, where one of the main reasons for doing so is to enable installation of a standalone shower (rather than just over the bath). It is a wooden floor, but the shower tray will fitted in a corner, and raised...

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...

If you had to replace some floor joists, and to re level some floor joists, would you:
1. bin all the floorboards that have to get removed to fix the floor. replace the floorboards with 25mm wbp ply and tile directly onto that.
or
2. bin all...

Hi All
For my own sanity need to clarify that ProWarm BACKER-PRO Tile Backer Board 10mm is as suitable as hardibacker board.
After using hardie over wooden floors for the last few years I have run out of patience for it now. Its a great product but I find it messy, costly and time consuming...
