Hello everyone, i will try to keep this short.
Went to see a job today and one of the bathrooms is going to be a wet one.
Situation is, Wet tray has been layed and plumbed flush with the existing floor which is part floorboards part chipboard. The floor seems very solid (there is a steel directly below floor). The wet tray is one of these plastic type ones and the builder has been provided with a water proof membrane which is the black rubber stuff which you lay then peel back top layer before tiling (looks a bit like bitumen if you know what i mean).
I would of liked to over -lay floor boards with ply or No-more-ply or tile backer board but this will obviously raise the floor above the wet-tray which according to builder cannot be raised.
Could i Ditra then fill with with self-levelling then lay wet-proof membrane on top?
OR only take wet-proof membrane so far over tray area and join it to the ditra?
Your thoughts please!
