THis is why i use membranes over solution kits....how can you be sure you have applied it 2mm thick all over....

The future of tanking within the tiling trade is to use membranes..IMHO...:thumbsup:
 
Its an interesting discussion point isn’t it. I have never used the sheet method but I’m totally open minded. I can see that its less messy and you can tile faster. Don’t know ref cost comparison. My worry with sheet is if the joints are not 100% then it a fail, if the sheet is punctured then it’s a fail. Whereas with a solution covering if you put a hole through it then its probably on the wall immediately behind that’s effected only, and if that’s protected by grout / tile / no high pressure from power shower / backer board, then its probably not a fail. Whereas water could get through a hole in a sheet and then its free to go everywhere behind the sheet. All of this is just my theorising and wetdecs etc have forgotten more than I’ll ever know – so I’m happy to bow to superior knowledge. So that’s my posting just to rekick the thread ….. tanking liquid vs. tanking sheet ???? : - ) … go for it guys … tell me why I should use sheet.
