Durabase CI or WP

[SirLurch]

after reading many Q & A's i havnt been able to find this - apologize if i missed it.

My wetroom floor has new 18mm birch ply floor which is very solid and 10mm Marmox tile backers and planning tiling over with 500x350 ceramic
Q1 should i need durabase CI or can i just use durabase WP for the floor?
Q2 should i tank before or after UFEH ?
Q3 is the durabase tape just the same as the WP material for all joins and edges etc? obviously pre-formed for the corners is recomended.

Thanks

Hi

Bit of a waste the Marmox really as heat loss is minimal on ply I believe its 1% more than marmox.

Depending on the room size and flooring materials. With a floor 6-8m which is properly plyed and screwed at 300 cenres then Dura-WP will provide tanking and uncopling properties.

If the floor is to be bigger or with a suspect surface then Dura-CI should be used for tanking and uncoupling.

The primary difference of course is the height increase with Dura-WP is minimal.

You would tank before fixing UFH

The floor tanking kit for CI uses the same flexible core tape as is used in wall corners and material transitions in the wall tanking kit
