Advice on wet room tanking

[ishi69]

Hello everyone,

Just seacrching for a bit of advice. I am currently on a job with 4 batrooms with wet areas. The bathroom company have done the spec for the rooms and are using wedi on the walls and trays. They have supplied the tanking kits also. My question is has anyone ever experienced problems with with the tanking solution not setting properly.

Thanks.

hi,
Are you using the adhesive supplied with the tanking kit? it takes about 2 hours after first layer to set,each further layer about 3 hours as long as its being applied in tempertures +41degrees to +77degrees.
you can then tile on it after 24 hrs.
i hope this helps

Yeah I'm using the wedi fundo kit supplied with the tray, I think it's not setting due to temp at floor level as the areas tanked on the walls have cured. It's a new build property so no heating, gonna have to get some portable heaters on site. Thanks.
