just wondered why its needs to be full height ..

Because it's a wet room, and things get wet. I FULLY tank the whole shower area and anywhere the splash could reach as per the manufacturers (Impey) recommendations -

Why fit the tanking in contradiction of the manufacturers instructions, charging the customer for a professional installation yet possibly leaving them with no guarantee just to save some time/ money.

What weight will that membrane hold on the walls

dont like the idea off relying solely bonding on to the matting ...ie say 10mm large format porcelian ...mapei gum and taped corners would have been plenty

And the former and drain? How would you propose to tank those?

Have you ever tried it?

yeah used it on formers and their trays ..good stuff ...but as said overkill up the walls imo...prefer direct bond to the base material especially for big heavy porc etc

Even in the wet zone? and in contradiction of their recommended fitting instructions?

That's obviously where our workmanship differs
