Hi guys,
After recommending tanking in the showers, I went to start the job today and the builder, after getting a small balcony tanked, the guy offered to do all 3 wetroom floors as well.
I have included some pics below but it appears to be some sort of spray-on bitumen, apparently it took a week to dry and although not sticky now, if anything is left on it overnight it will be stuck in the morning.It is about 3mm thick but in the internal corners it could be about 8mm thick and a bit spongy. No reinforcement was used at the wall/floor junction,
Questions:
Anybody tackled anything similar?
Will this be okay to tile on and what prep would you recommend? Primer?Adhesive?
The floor screed is heated,but the heating is two weeks away,so I will be just doing the walls atm. Or could the floor be tiled as it is isolated I guess by the tanking?
Would it be okay to tank the walls in the shower and overlap the black stuff at the bottom?
