Impey Aqua Dec

[Turkish]

Hi Everyone,

I`m about to purchase an Impey Aqua Dec floor former for a wet area within a first floor bathroom. The former is to be fitted into an alcove area and i intend to put hardiebacker on the 3 walls round the former. As i`m quite tight for space i was wondering whether i can fit the former so that the bottom of the sheets of backerboard sit on top of the former itself rather than the former sitting within the sheets of backerboard?? Obviously i`ll be tanking the join. Would really appreciate your advice.

Many Thanks

Turkish

Don't see a problem with that as long as you tank the joints.....

Hardi backer will allow the passage of water.. they are fully water resistant but not water proof.. IMO i would tank them or use marmox..

My bad.... I was thinking of Marmox when I wrote post. As Dave has said, full tanking of area will be required with Hardie....

I use Marmox mate and I am also in Kent.... Marmox is based in Rochester.

I went down there in person and bought direct. Much cheaper! really nice guys too.

Without sounding like a salesperson for them! I really reccomend them
