The thing about wetdecs is he says it as it is, No grey areas
WetDec, we would like to offer you a place FOC so you can come down here to Somerset, learn about the company, the products we offer and see how they are properly installed.
Hopefully it will help to clear up any concerns or reservations you have about Impey products and with any luck it will also lead to people being able to make up their own minds on this forum about the various products available (especially Impey) rather than you diving in at every opportunity and ripping them to shreds.
So there you go - a free training day (including a free lunch)....
Get in touch if you're interested.
Shaun
I dont rip them to shreds m8 I just say it how it is...........
I have no problem with the products but every one has a place, every person has an opinion and Impey do not have all the answers contrary to the marketing machine.
I am not a general site sponsor I sponsor the wet rooms forum and have done for quite a while. Impey reps march on and off trying to get their teeth into it but not once has anyone emailed and pm'd me to say hello or can we help out in any way. I sell your products it would be far better and benefit both our sales if you had but for some reason you havnt felt the need, the only time you address me is to winge.
Its simple Shaun its courtecy m8

So out of the 3 0r 4 wetrooms you have fitted how many have been into wood floors or dont wedi board do a former thats suficiently strong to go directly on to joists without underboarding like the tuff2 tray for example.
..
Never said at any point that I'm any kind of expert here. I sure isn't. Ask me about Fashion Photography, that's my area of expertise. However, I have fitted 3 or 4 wetrooms, as you correctly state and they've all been done using Wedi board. Because it was the first product that I came across that I liked. Out of those, only 1 has been on a wooden floor. I simply followed the very good instructions shown here:
http://www.wedi.co.uk/fwood1.php
50mm thick preformed shower tray is superb and I've not seen anything as nice as their drain.
http://www.wedi.co.uk/fdraindiag.phpSo its 50mm thick you have only ever put them on the surface so you have a step up because otherwise you have to notch 50mm out of your joists for wood floors.
I live with one of these and its the easiest thing to clean ever. Even the drain cover is tasteful to look at, unlike many others that I have seen.
But its tiled so how can wedy be the easiest thing to clean ever :huh2:
I'm not knocking anybody else's tanking solutions, I just don't get how it seems to be that only a few are ever mentioned here.
The few that are mentioned on here are Impey Tuff2 and tilux the first 2 are GRP formers for wood floors and Tilux is a concrete floor former like yours but far far superior in its ease of installation and tanking.
Now I fully realise that you sponsor this section, but if sponsor it means that its too biased, then in my humble opinion that's not a good thing. I just mentioned Wedi because from my experience, its easy to work with and I like it. As I am in no way connected to the company, its hardly because I want to promote them. Just thought people should look at all the options. But you rave about Wedy and Devy every chance you get obviously to repeatedly make these statements you will of compared them to other systems, like Tilux Uheat marmox.
For example, even though the guy in the youtube link seems to be making light work of the installation process. I could see for my own personal use, I'd make a right pigs ear of trying to get that flexible sheet up onto a wall on my own and then having to try and press it flat. I'd bet I'd end up in a right state, with a totally bumpy surface, air bubbles all over the shop etc. With a nice stiff Wedi board, I don't have to worry about that issue. No you wouldnt as with wedy board you have to buy fixings, the sheetsAs I'm still a beginner, that suits me better, and may suit others better. As its a friendly open forum, with lots of people offering advice and giving help to new people, I just thought I'd share my own experiences, small as they are, as it may help others to decide on products, or open their eyes to other solutions. I am amazed you cant fix a sheet of tanking membrane to pb yet you can batten or overboard with wedy, drill for fixings, tape its joints, prime and then tile it. I think your a little cleverer than you are letting on.............................:yes:

PS - I originally used Wedi for my own shower room, because I didn't want to dig down into the concrete floor and wanted a raised tray - but I hate plastic trays. So I came across their raised base. Dead easy to install. But as you say what you really did was creat a shower cubicle without a plastic tray not a level access wet room.........

It was so dead easy to use and to waterproof the walls etc. that when I started doing wetrooms for other people, it was my immediate choice of material.So your going to give up taking snaps for a living and become a wedy ambassidor............they are / will be proud
