Sorry to go over old ground but I need to be absolutely clear I've done/am doing this right.
Floor
1) Strengthen floor by adding noggins every 300mm.
2) Lay 25mm WBP ply direct onto joists after having coated it on both sides and all edges with Mapei Primer G, leaving small gap around perimeter in case of expansion. Screw down with Spax flooring screws every 300mm at most.
3) Lay either Durabase or Ditra membrane with flexible adhesive (Mapei Keraquick)
4) Lay underfloor heating mat and cover with Keraquick and 30 x 60 porcelain tiles.
Walls
1) Green moisture resistant plasterboard already installed (before I found this site and saw advice about cement boards).
Joints taped and filled but boards are untreated.....do I need to prime the plasterboard with the same Primer G I bought for the floors? When I decorate usually in a normal 'dry' room, I seal the plasterboard with Dulux sealer before I paint or wallpaper....is the Primer G basically the same idea?
2) Dunlop shower tanking kits (2) bought (again before I saw this site) for use around the bath to cover whole wall and behind overbath shower. Are these ok to use over walls treated with Primer G (if that's what I'm supposed to do?)
3) Tile room using Mapei Keraquick and grout with Mapei Ultra Colour.
So does that look ok or have I missed something out / done something wrong? I'm out of my comfort zone here and kinda need a lot of (repetitive :smilewinkgrin handholding, lol.
I wish I'd found you lot a couple of weeks ago, you'd have saved me a lot of time/headaches/wasted money. I really appreciate your time and advice.....especially since you've probably answered the same questions a million times before. :smilewinkgrin:
