Hi All,
I'm about to prepare a shower area in a new build for tiling. The floor of the shower area has been screeded with sand/cement mix on top of UFH. The screed has been formed to slope towards a screed drain. The walls of the shower are GTEC Aqua Board on studs. I want to tank the whole floor area of the shower and up the walls using BAL WP1 or similar.
A few questions I hope the experts can answer:
1. What do I need to to prepare the screeded floor with before tanking? The rest of the ground floor is liquid screeded and they supplied a sealer for this. Can I use this sealer on the screed and then tank on top?
2. What primer is required, if any, on the Aqua Boards? The boards come to floor level and meet the screed so I intend taping at this point with the BAL kit.
3. I was only going to tank half way up the walls of the shower as going to the ceiling seems a bit overkill. What are the recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
