Which tanking product to use.?

[johnm]

Hi I am tiling a walk through shower with plasterboard walls . what tanking material would you reccommend

 

[aardvaarktiling]

Weber Protec 5kg kit. comes complete with primer, 7metres of tape and the tanking membrane costs me about 50 pound inc vat and does about 6 sq metres

 

[DHTiling]

Durabase wp is an excellent tanking membrane and you can get it delivered from wetdecs.......

 

[johnm]

the weber protec kit seems to fit the bill. any idea where i can get it from?

CTD do some weber products, but the other day we had a couple of guys from Weber visited us to talk about their products and lefted us their number in case we had any customers who wanted to contact them. If you like i can pass this number over to you and you can give them a ring and they will point you in the right direction of a supplier.

PM me if your interested.

 

[johnm]

we have a resin shower tray. the waterproofing is for the plasterboard walls. at the momemt i am thinking of using one of the waterproofing kits

 

[wetdec]

So is the tray going into a wooden floor or concrete, is it a new room ie are the walls and floor new.

What will the floor be tiled with ?

Cheers

[johnm]

the tray is going directly onto wooen floorboards

 

[wetdec]

Oh my apologies its a shower base your installing so will have a cubicle to stop water leaking in that case any of the diy liquid tanking kits should do you ok.

You might consider installing a transition seal such as Sealux. The benefits of incorporating Sealux into the overall waterproofing job (over ledges) are detailed on the GET CONECTED file attached
