When I tank a wet room I do all walls in wet area plus out past where screen is going a good 500mm. Then I tank the whole floor plus tapes up onto wall a good 300mm whole perimeter and tank. So if water is going anywhere it is either into drain or out the door depending on my screed 🙂

I lived in Sweden 2 years .I mentioned this before .they put plaster board on floors before tiling .yes I was shocked too ...but they also tank every bathroom with mapegum and tapes etc. Everything gets tanked into one drain .in floor .you have to have a licence to do it .and insurance need to see it to get house insurance .they test the work done on every insurance claim to make sure it done that way .If it isn't done you don't get pay out. Believe me they won't pay for tanking onto a bath edge .oh and I done the certificate from mapei to be able to tank to their standards .we are way behind .and so are alot of you .tanking onto edges of trays and baths are you for real .think about it .the tanking all peels it's not that flexible really .

@Kevbos how old are you? Do you remember wire lathe, sand and cement screed and bitumen around shower tray? Things moved on! Moisture resistant plasterboard and Silicon next? Things moved on! Wedi board, hardi backer boards, tanking is just next thing and if you can put another barrier between walls, showers, baths etc why wouldn't you?

 

[Kevbos]

Because as I've said if you only put that barrier on some not all of the room there is no point .does a basement only get tanked and waterproofs on certain areas or does everywhere get done because water will find a way out always .I'm saying you should do whole room not just wet area if you calling it a wet room

As I said above I do whole floor plus perimeter aswell as walls in wet area
