Discuss Best price for channel/linear drain cover in the UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.
Where did you get your drain cover from Richard, did wetdecs supply it?
...On a more general note, I am a bit perplexed by the theory of waterproofing the sub-tile membrane/drain interface. Do we assume that whatever you do, water is going to reach the membrane through the tiles or between them and that therefore you need to make a waterproof joint between the membrane and drain to prevent leakage below? If so, why do all the channel drains I've seen have an upstand all the way round inside the flange used to seal to the surrounding membrane which would prevent any build up of water coming thru from the tiles getting into the drain?
Obviously most of the water - 99.999% - will just run over the top surface of the tiles and over the upstand of the drain and away but what happens to the .001 percent that gets stuck around the edge of the drain beneath the tiles/grouting? Do we assume (aided muchly by UFH) that it just soaks back up through the tiling (assuming it's porous like travertine) and evaporates into the air and eventually dries out? Or what? I just don't like the idea of that water lurking around, going mouldy etc etc. So can someone shed light on this for me? I'm probably just being a bit paranoid (ex-engineer, you see!).
