Hi G G sorry mate the system i use is Dukkaboard with Mira 4400 multicoat and Mira safecoat / seal manchets.

The other system is by Granfix .

Dont really like getting into heated debates over things , just giving the best advice based on what i know.

Also in the other post re grout joins i was giving advice based on what jobs we had actually done and not by bs standards which was wrong of me so sorry mate .

I think it makes it harder beacuse of the amount of products on the market.

The most important is finding out from the company not the tile staff as sometimes they get it wrong and this can lead to all sorts of products.

In my research there a many types of products I am sure you can all name half a dozen that fit these categories:

1. Waterproof products
These products do not allow any form of water to penertrate the membrane/ barrier that is created. They do not break down, even when in continous contact of water. Example: Bal WP1

2. Water reisitant products
These absorb a small portion of water and release over a period of time. These types of products do not break down in contact with contact with water. Example Hardiebacker

3. Non suitable products
This is more items like untreated ply, chipboard, plasterboard which can rot, swell or disintergrate when in contact with water.

I am sure this will raise a whole heap of problems and choice words but I hope this helps

Thanks for clarifying that. I am not familier with the products you mention except for Granfix adhesives. Maybe that is where the misunderstanding has arisen.
