thanks so much for this video. I have two questions: 1. I see the tanking membrane overlaps into the tray. Is it then hidden by the tiles and silicon? 2. Can we use any kind of tile adhesive after using this tanking kit on plaster? for background info, we are having a new shower enclosure fitted but are doing the tanking ourselves, whilst the rest is done by the plumber. Thanks a lot

Hey, Glad you liked the video. Yes If you can overlap it onto the tray it just adds that extra protection. You can always cut it back with a knife afterwards, if it's to proud. But I'd normally try and aim for about 10mm max. That should b covered by most tiles + adhesive. But yeah once it's all tiled you would apply the silicon as normal. Regards adhesive, If it's a small ceramic tile..Then a waterproof bucket glue is fine. Anything bigger or Porcelain I'd recommend going for an S1 flexible powder adhesive. Bal Flex One would be my recommendation there, But there are plenty of alternatives. Hope that helps!

Hiya, Great vid! Wondering myself if its possible to apply the paste directly onto render on concrete block? Its a narrow area so I dont want to add an additional 10mm or so of backer board / plasterboard if I can help it, cheers!

Hey thanks, This particular one should be fine on render, I'd just double check the preparation specs first though. For me if you are using ceramic tiles that should all be fine. But if you are using porcelain tiles, I would personally backer board the wall, and mechanically fix it to the concrete blocks. Hope that helps

Would you use tanking for most surfaces to waterproof also how would you know when you need to use waterproofing boarding

In high volume wet areas, Generally yes. Grout is breathable.. Water resistant not waterproof, So you have to always expect some moisture behind the tile even if you don't. Natural process should deal with it. But if you ever have a hole in a grout joint, or a way for water to get in, it's best to cover yourself. In an ideal world, All walls in wet areas would be backerboard (which is already waterproof) and that's most of your waterproofing done for you. But with as it is in building, every job is different with different budgets and constraints. I.e you may have a plastered or plaster board wall in the shower area, Hence you would want to waterproof that, as those materials will degrade when in contact with to much water. If it is an upstairs shower, that could cause some bad issues to the ceiling and leaks. So rule of thumb, either tile on a waterproof material in a shower, or make the surface waterproof for piece of mind and longevity.
