    wetroom tanking walls and floors

    Been seeing a few tilers posting wetrooms on twitter with no wall tanking. I've always tanked anything deemed to be a wet area, whether wall or floor, in a wetroom and wondering where the rest of you stand. Twitter is a bit back slappy imo, with nobody telling anybody they're doing it wrong...
