1st bathroom project - pictures and question!

[Dean A]

I started this 3 weeks ago, it's been a steep learning curve but its coming along now:

:8:

I am putting down Mapei fiberplan later today to cover the UFH cables, now my question is, how best to dam the edges, as you can see in the picture above, there are pipes running to the sink.

Any tips? I have added expandy foam around some of the edges, but this won't work everywhere :lol:

Comments and advice welcomed!

Thank's all for the advice, it's all welcomed.

Whitebeam, I am expecting the plasterer to do this as part of the job! I will ask him when he gets here Friday.

I am putting down Ditra over the Mapei Fiberplan. I still have some of the Norcross rapid set addy left:

I am confused as this states that is flexible in the datasheet, yet doesn't mention this anywhere on the packaging. I am concerned that its just not as flexible as, say Bal SPF flexy? It does conform to the BS standards (C2F?) which many flex addy's also do.

Can anyone clarify if I can use this to lay Ditra, and then lay the trav tiles on top?

My head is spinning from all the reading!

The Mapei Fiber Plan went down last night after lots of prep work

Suprised how much went down - I ended up using the whole bag for a 2 m2 area! Very ease to use though, definately worth its money.

It hasn't quite covered some of the cables, particuarly the conduit for the sensor, you can just see the indentations of the wires:

Can I build this out with addy whilst putting down Ditra? Should I buy another bag of SLC to finish the job properly?

Advice welcomed as always 🙂
