Tilemaster Tilemaster Tanking Kit- Review

[Waluigi]

I’m tempted to try the gaffer tape test on the TM. Judging by how well it sticks to my fingers and other things I’ve inadvertantly ‘glued’ I’d imagine the paper face of the plasterboard would come off.

A plaster and gaffer tape test would also be good.

I wonder what tests they do at Tilemaster HQ?

I’m getting quite sad and Anal about all of this now.

Not used the tm paste but some of the others are terrible. Ardex wpc is the best I've used and isomat sl17 and the dukka one are good for single part. I'll have to give the tm one a blast

Poll Time?

I had to cut a niche out today of a previously tanked wall. The Tilemaster stuck well. Pulled off the paper face of the plasterboard which ties in with the tanking not reducing the weight limit of plasterboard.

Prefer to use the Mapei wp200 membrane more than these paint on ones apart from the Ardex wpc which is really good

I used to use a lot of Kerdi and Homelux matting but found that as I do domestic stuff, I prefer the paint on as the majority of my work has a Shower Tray or Bath.

Wet rooms I tend to revert back to Kerdi if it warrants it.

Excellent Tanking Product!

The kit comprises of :-

• Gloves
• Tanking coating (2.5kg)
• 10M of tape
• 2 x Internal corner pieces.

The system works really well and IMHO one of the best paint on membranes on the market. Arguably the best I have used.

No primer is required, you simply paint on straight out of the tub.

The tape is provided for joints and abutments and is bedded onto the paste and then painted over.

The tape is really good as it’s flexible, other tapes are less flexible so creasing can occur. This doesn’t happen with the Tilemaster tape. It flexes round walls nicely whether they are out of true or if the installer hasn’t got things quite right.

The paste sticks really well and there appears to be a very fine grit in the paste which leaves a key to the wall once dry. There is no edge peeling like other brands. This is a true one coat system. The paste is really thick.

One thing that must be noted is that if you just slap the paste on in a carefree manner then once the coat is dry you might see a few lighter areas where the substrate is shining through. These areas just need a touch up.

Altogether Tilemaster have done a really good job. Coverage is far better than the seemingly small amount of paste suggests.

I’ve used the kit a dozen or so times now.
