Hi All.
I just wanted to start by saying I have read hundreds of posts and find this forum an amazing source of information. So, thank you all!
I am about to renovate an existing bathroom and put in a wetroom shower area. We are quite nervous about leaking, broken grout etc. I have seen a number of tanking options out there, and I was thinking of incorporating 2 as an extra level of protection. I am crazy? Too much?
The room has chipboard flooring currently. The plan is to replace this with 18mm ply, then lay 10mm Marmox over this (adhesive layer in between, then fixed with screws/washers). The walls are studs and block work. I was thinking 20mm Marmox all round. Plastic dowels for fixing to the block, screws/washers for the studs. I like the sounds of Marmox because it insulates (both sound and heat) and it is waterproof. After floor and walls are fixed, tape over joins/seams etc with waterproof tape.
I am then intending on tanking with Dural Durbase CI+ membrane.
We are thinking of electric underfloor heating and marble tiles.
I haven't chosen a shower tray former yet, but this probably doesn't change anything.
Any opinions on this approach would be greatfully appreciated.
Regards,
Jonathon.
