It feels like there is a constant asking about the suitability of cement board in wet areas.
"Will they be ok in my wet room?" "Should I tank them?" etc etc etc
Can I attempt to clear up the confusion - much of which comes from the manufacturers and the builder's merchants who sell the stuff...

Hi There
Planning on using wedi board around a bath.
I am having difficulty finding a supplier in North London. Anyone know any good places where I can purchase Wedi board?
Also is it worth purchasing sealing tape? It is £40+ a role, are there any other options that are as suitable and work...
Hi all,
Just curious to know what people think about using wedi board on floor boards/bathroom floors.
I currently use no more ply 6mm glued and screwed.
My local supplier does not stock no more ply but has got wedi board 6mm/12mm.
Would the wedi board do a good job as no more ply or is there...

Currently building wetroom with wedi gear. Floor tiles are 15x15 unglazed ceramic non slip (ugly!!)
Only done a handful of wetrooms and the floors have always been large format (so envelope cutting) or mosaics.
Should I still do what I normally do with bigger tiles and dry lay and mark falls...
Hello,
A bit confused with variety of XPS backer boards. Wedi, Kerdi, Jacko, Dukka, Marmox - is there any real difference in quality between them? I have used Wedi before, it is great, but it is twice more expensive. I will use it for porcelain tiles on the walls, if it makes any difference.
Any...
Looking for a bit of advice re wetroom installation. I have completed a few wet rooms and have tended to install wedi shower tray and boards on the floor and cover joints with waterproof tape. The walls tend to be plasterboard. Generally following install of floor /tray i tank both within the...
Good afternoon. I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of quick question to get your views on this. I always tank wet areas using the ardex tanking system. Would you still tank the bath/shower areas if wedi board has been used to board these areas out. I've never fixed to wedi board before. I...

Hi all.
I'm currently redoing my own kitchen. Once I get up the old self adhesive floor tiles, I'll be looking to overboard the floor boards prior to tiling.
I've never used Wedi before (I have used Hardie in the past), however I'm always looking to try out a "new" product and what better...

So I'm pricing up a job just now and the architect has specd up 2500x600x10mm wedi board over chipboard, electric heating over that and then tiled. Apart from the fact he has missed out slc over cables I cannot see this being viable. The addy choice between chipboard and wedi was Mapei ultra...
Hello fellow tilers- I was a member on here before, but couldn't log in- as my e.mail address has changed.
I was the one that had the problem with the pipes that came up from the floor and the customers were taking me to court.
Well, I have been to the court and I was found not guilty ! it was...

I've got 2 bath panels to tile, the frames are built and the tiles bought. The tiles are 300x200 and quite light.
I've been looking at Wedi board to build the front panels. I thought this was quite expensive at £134 inc VAT & postage (I couldn't find anywhere local). The price came from this...

Looked at a job & the customer wants a curved bath panel tiled in mosaics.
I looked at the curved wedi boards & was going to get a joiner in to fix a frame then fix the wedi to this.
What centres should i tell him to put the frame in at or has anyone else got a good solution for this?
Thanks...
