Great videos and it worked, bought £1000 of Abacus products only to be let down by their delivery company. Date changed 3 times and then when I received tracking they failed to turn up, twice!

British Standards Institute (BSI) for BS 5385-1 (wall and floor tiling in normal internal conditions), In clause 6.1.1.3, the standard states that ‘In wet areas … substrates should be protected with a suitable proprietary tanking membrane system’. It further declares that ‘the weight capacity of the tanking system should be capable of carrying the load of the tiles and adhesive’. All substrates within a wet area should now be waterproofed before tiling, even in domestic locations. This means this method shown here is now part of the British Building Standard and should be done on all new bathroom installation or refits.

Hi, did you use the tape around the bath?

Shame that this stuff only has a EN13501 fire rating of E making it flammable and not really suitable in certain situations...

Roger, Elements have only supplied scrim tape and sealer, not the neoprene tape to seal the boards, Any reasons why?

So you paint the joints, Presume you bed the tape in when that first layer is still wet? Do you then let that dry before painting on the top coat? If so how long for? What is then the drying time of the product before it can be tiled over? What is the drying time of the product before the "No More Leaks self adhesive tape" can be applied to the shower tray?

This is a marketing video NOT an installation video, and certainly is no substitute for the lack of instructions shipped with products and the lack of instructions even available on your website. Some images show the no more leaks tape on first, some show it to go on after. You need PROPER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. Details.

Silly question maybe but when these boards are fixed to the wall then tiled on what kind of wall plugs would i need to use to fix an electric shower to the wall

Hi - standard plasterboard fixings can be used post-tiling, or a standard screw if screwing into a wall bearer. Hope this helps!

I take it you need to fill the alkali tape joints with tile adhesive prior to tiling still?

Yes this is good practice, or alternatively you can seal the board joints with our MD flexible, waterproof jit adhesive.

I need to install a digital control for a power shower. I need to run a conduit for the cable and drill a 30mm hole through the elements board. How do I waterproof that hole? And also the screw holes for the shower screen and pole which go on at the end of the job?

smithboyv1 - FTBoO - you use tile adhesive and their tape for AP. Alternatively, just use their adhesive. Either method is perfectly fine.

I have a couple of 12mm thick Elements Boards left over after fitting them around the walls of my Shower area. Can i fit them onto 3/4” floor Board, seal them then fit my Shower Tray on top firstly putting some tile Adhesive under the Tray. Or is there no need.

Hi Ronnie - thank you for your comment - you can use the 12mm boards on the floor if you wish; we typically use the 10mm Elements board on flooring areas, and the boards aren't required underneath your shower tray install but it's entirely up to you

Colin M Why would you want to do that? Where water can get behind the tiles, you use the neoprene tape. Where it can’t you use alkali-resistant taoe, ready for tiling. If not tiling, standard scrim can be used.
