Wet room wall

[Paul Smith]

Quote in for a false wall in wet room where I'm told a Homelux waterproof membrane has been applied over 25mm marine ply.

He has had the floor done and does not want tanking or over boarding on the wall.

Advice welcome.

Vague question I'm afraid. Why ply on walls? And what is the floor construction?

 

[Paul Smith]

Not sure, due to visit. All I'm told is he wants me to tile straight onto homelux mem on wall.

I am not familiar with the homelux product isnt it a a tanking system ?

 

[White Room]

Yes it is a tanking system....

Not familiar either. Done some research since and understand it went on using a spf. Is it good to prime and tile straight onto?. Would of preferred to overboard with hardie. Due out tomorrow, just wanted to be armed with some info. Cheers chaps

It's a tanking membrane Paul. Just tile straight on to it. No priming.

Homelux is just like wallpaper. It's fixed to the background surface with adhesive and a 4mm trowel. You can tile straight onto it - no priming necessary. Sounds like it was a ply wall as it's a false wall.
