Which waterproofing/tanking products do you use...

[Branty]

Or perhaps us Brits are just made of sterner stuff!

 

[Rob Z]

Noble TS membrane and Noble Chloraloy pan liner.
Mapei HPG liquid.
Redguard liquid.
Laticrete Hydroban liquid.
not on the list, maybe not available in the UK.

A point to note, notwithstanding the existing codes, plaster/gypsum of any kind is not acceptable as a substrate in wet areas as it is food for mold and will create toxic mold cultures in those areas eventually in spite of all you do to prevent it.
The way to avoid black mold death is to not give it food in the first place.
Use concrete backer or better yet MgO backer board as it provides no food for mold at all.

An old thread, but interesting to note that I use all the same products as does Alberta. Fortunately, we are moving away from any gypsum in wet areas, but local codes are still able to opt-out.

dave, i have switched to granfix for the wet room instillatilon about 2 years ago from bal. 10 years ago i painted a bal 1 product cardboard box with the tanking kit it came in, dropped in a half sheet of mosaic, its still there with the water changed once a month, so it doesnt get mouldy, for crying out loud this is 3 mm cardboard box and still it holds water, they all amount to the same product but i stick with mapei adhesives for adhesision as at the momnent its the best on the market. happy tiling

[mr inspreadable]

What about Norcros can't see them on your list.

 

[guil.rocha]

I'm using the Nicobond wet-proof.

 

[sstilingservice]

I use Bal WP1 myself find it very simple to use. Tile a wet room for a customer a few weeks ago and he had tanked out his room with Tile Safe OMG !!! What a bloody nightmare I had !!!!!!!!!!! He had over lapped the the sheets air bubbles behind and had injected his walls with Expanding foam which caused the plaster board to bulge out in places AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH Never ever ever again !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looked nice in the end but my god did I have to work some magic !!! Thank the good lord above for Rubi battern stands that's all I say :incazzato:

Ultra water proof shield thinner than Bal WP1 so dries quicker and easier to put on a second coat. TTT

 

[andy-p]

Imperband membrane..

 

[ap222]

i'm surprised there havent been more votes for the Mapei waterproofing kits - judging by the amount we sell every week !

Its definetely a for me, I've used it to tank my wet room, Mapei WPS is brilliant!!!, easy to apply & dries fairy quickly.

Here in Vancouver, Canada I'm using Aqua Defence (like Mapegum) by Mapei and Noble Company's Noble Seal TS (thicker version of Kerdi DS). I like using the Noble Seal TS on my floors and up the walls 6" and then switch out to liquids on the walls and my shampoo niches.

Just bumping some of the older popular (sometimes not so popular) threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.
