Wetroom systems

[cam_low]

What system is everyone using these days ? My last wetroom was a pleasure to do earlier in the year using a marmox former, ditra heat e and kerdi band with a liquid tanking system on the walls.

I have to provide two systems, one being the ditra due to the fact I can incorporate the UFH with an anticrack mat as the tiles are unknown yet. Possible marble 10x30 in herringbone, which gives me a challenge in the wet tray area as I have never had to incorporate the herringbone into a wet tray. Has anyone done one before?

The next a cheaper system with no ufh but still will need anti crack mat if they decide to go with the marble.
The reasoning behind two prices is that the room is cold and they are thinking of the UFH or having a couple of radiators t'd off whilst the floor is up so trying to weigh up what is cheaper.

It's not ripped up yet, still in quote stage but Im assuming they have lobbed 12mm on top of ply, DND tiles and they are coming away.

I'll get some pictures of a nice original viccy job throughout the hallway. it needs some work and a clean but it is surprising how good a nick its in.

Any help massively appreciated. Got so much to do in the next few weeks and getting this job in before Christmas would suit me perfectly.

Cheers guys & gals.

Most of the insulation board type trays are very good. Marmox, pcs, wedi, etc. I have not yet used shulter products. I like using ardex tanking with these trays as it just sticks so well.
herringbone sould be interesting, if it's square and your using a wedi tray. You could turn the grate 45* to suit?. But the elvelope cuts ate going to be challenging.

Last One that I did was a Novellini tray with a linear drain. Nice thing about it is the fact it is a 2 way fall and removes the envelope cuts which is great when you have smaller tiles or plank format. The tiles were Porcelanosa 90x22 and I think they look awful with envelope cuts across them. Only personal opinion.

What do you do with the tile edge where it meets the tray?

 

[John Benton]

It has a length of brushed stainless steel that is straight on top to follow the floor and profiled to follow the fall of the tray and its just siliconed to the tile edge.

thanks for the replies lads, I have been that busy I forgot to reply to this thread.
[MENTION=38420]john[/MENTION]Benton that is ideal for the tray that is to go in this bathroom. Where can I get some decent prices for this system ?

I have heard great things about the ardex @Chalker I think it will be choice of weapon for this task should I get the job.

 

[John Benton]

Well I get mine from a local supplier in Leeds, but I have found out this week Porcelanosa do a linear tray, 2-way fall for about £360 if memory serves me right and you have a branch nearby

Cheers

hmmm I wonder if jackoboard do such a tray...I like their products and I have said catalogue in my office/stroke cupboard !!!

I tend to use the Jackoboards a lot and I have their catalogue next to me, which has no two way fall in however it is the 2013 one.
[MENTION=38420]john[/MENTION]benton with it being a two way fall...how does the residual water fall into the drain with it only being two way...or is it neither here nor there the small amount it would be?

Minimal amount, insignificant from what I can see
