Tiling down onto a shower tray..

[kelvin]

Gents,

Can you recommend the best profesional way to seal the shower tray against the wall or finish the tiles down on to the shower tray.
Also if using a stainless steel channel for glass to seal against a shower tray what type of sealent do you recommend .


I understand your not plumbers but since your in bathrooms you might know whats the best products to use.

Thanks in advance Tv...........

Hi to seal wall to tray best to use a waterproof membrane or tanking .

stainless steel Chanel should be sealed on the outside with a clear exterior grade silicone

hope that helps

as with jay. i silicon the base to the wall prior to tanking too. the tile to shower base should be siliconed after grouting too. white will probably be best for the tray. don't buy/use cheap silicon, buy a good brand e.g. bal, mapei or dow corning.

Hi again you mentioned tanking and water proof membrane can you give some more details here pls.

I have seen a product on the net called classi seal have you any idea if this is any good.

Also should I not silicone the base of the Chanel to the shower tray and then run a bead around the edges and set the glass in with silicone as well ?

Rgds.....

Silicon the chanel (as if to stick it down) then silicon the outside ONLY. I only use sanitary grade silicons.

classi seals are good provided both edges of the shower base are tight up against both walls. if one is off slightly then the classi seal will protrude past the adhesive or tile. double seal with silicon is the best way i.m.o.
