Planning for a new wet room advice Page: 2

Tilesafe membrane is taken out of the equation now as it’s been replaced with a far better system- Impey Waterguard. It’s actually very good. I used to hate the old Tilesafe membrane, absolute disaster that stuff especially in weather extremes. Either it doesn’t stick or it sticks to everything that goes anywhere near it!

Hi @Waluigi - I looked at Impey approx 6 months ago and indeed at the Waterguard ( i'd forgotten about the name/product change ) I believe it is still an RIW product with the same issues around Silicon. Pretty sure I spoke to RIW technical about it, but I may be completely wrong. I'm convinced I also spoke to to a main wetroom supplier who uses the same membrane and they said the same. Just goes to highlight the importance of research and for that reason I always speak to the relevant company technical departments and ask as many people for advice as possible.
You're right, that tilesafe membrane was the worst!

As a regular user of waterguard I am not aware of any issue with Silicon in contact with it. I will do a little test later with acetoxy and neutral cure Silicon and post a seperate thread.

A little off topic but I spilled some stain stop on riw screed safe and it pretty much melted it.
