    Tanking Tape Install Help

    Its says - water-resistant materials should be used thoughout which I assume means something like Hardi-backer or maybe a shluter system but if these are water resistant this doesn't need tanking except on the joins? or is it suggesting that even the water resistant materials be completely tanked?

    Bad Walls

    also the specs imply and feel free to correct me, but implys that it can be used without tanking as its a waterproof product unless you're doing a swimming pool. must be fairly expensive, but if that could be used in domestic applications it looks well good. I wonder how it compares to "no more ply"
