Hello pjc

If it was a shower installation with water going all over the tiles inside the cubicle, wouldn't it be vital to "tank" or at least seal the wood against water ingress ?

Sorry just edited my post

Thank you Whitebeam

Two points...

1. it says suitable for plaster board etc ... cannot see "ply" mentioned ?



2. Was this on sale in 2007/2008 to your knowledge ?

The timeframe is key to my problem and lack on any knowledge

It will tank ply and yes it was on sale in 2007....

What did the British Standard say back in 2007/2008?

Hello Chalker and thank you for your interest

Yes we have an interesting issue here and of course no relevant knowledge. You mention "Tanking systems have been around for quite some time" ... do you mean in 2007/2008 ?

Hi IHB

I hope you are not asking ME that question ??!

We need an expert to answer ....

 

[Cottage lady]

Whitebeam ... again many thanks. You clearly have a lot of past experience ... I am grateful for you passing that fact on

To be honest, a tanking kit will only stop the water from causing damage to the substrate behind the tiles.it shouldn't be leaking in the first place.
I have removed many bathrooms fitted out with ply or plasterboard that have not leaked or caused any damage.
PA builder I do plumbing for will only fit ply to showers. Even though I tell him there are better products out there. But he won't listen, as up to now he has not had any problems because the tiler he uses ( not me) does a good job, so it does not leak!

Give and take and all that..

I'd like to know exactly why the specific question??


Even though I can guess exactly why....
