Kudos wetroom

[yeronga]

Hi. I,ve a wetroom to tile , I have done a few before that I ,ve always tanked myself with no problems.
This one is boarded in a brand called Kudos. the boards are like tile backer board but tongue and groove with a sealant as they are pushed together they are screwed to floor and wall studs (does,nt seem to be any sealer at or around screws) . The joint between walls and floor seems to have sealant as its fitted.
According to supplier you tile straight onto boards as is without any membrane (thinking wall to floor joint).

Has anyone used this system ? Curious to know a bit more before I start. Ta

I've fitted their shower screens etc, but not seen a Kudos wetroom!?! Interested to hear more about it, hence this post haha!

I used this for the first time last year( I think the firm was based not too faraway from you in Cumbria).From what I remember the panels were quite robust,used the polysomething cement glue in the supplied Silicon gun sized tubes,dry fitted the panels,lifted them back up,squeezed the poly cement into the tongue then fit the adjoining panel and so on,screwing the panels into the floor as you go. When doing the walls/floor joint put a bead of poly cement onto the floor panel and place the wall panel on top,the poly cement will expand and fill the joint.
What I did have a problem with was that the shower former panels were manufactured thicker than the rest of the floor panels(lipped)

I noticed the outer edge of the shower fall was stepped up a few mil against the main floor. It has been fitted by a joiner before I saw it. Don't know whether to cut back or make it it up wit a light screed of adhesive ?
