backerboard

Hi, has anyone got any experience with the Marmox Showerlay 360? I have just fitted one and laid the tiles but the tiles don't sit flush with the chrome frame, they sit a couple of mm under it which is obviously no good. I have just seen a video demonstrating it and it seems to show the...

Hi all, I will be tiling my bathroom this weekend and want to make sure I'm set up to get it all finished by Sunday evening. The existing substrate: 18mm plywood 12.5mm marmox board I'm fitting an electric underfloor heating mat and propose to use a self leveling compound and then tile...

Any experience with Wedi Board or similar. 6mm Wedi 1250 x 600 - best price to date seems to be around £14.50 inc VAT. Adhesive £17 ish. Add fixing disks, add tape and etc., customer takes a deep breath. Add tiles and price is questioned. Any advice. What is your preferred backing board for wet...

hi, I have got one side of my shower that is a masonry brick wall (looker plaster removed) that I’ve got a couple of queries on regarding the fixing of wedi board (or similar) 1. Will using tile adhesive to fix the wediboard be ok? Does the wall need priming first? The wall on the whole is...

hi all, I need to fix my 6mm wedi over my ply subfloor ahead of installing UFH and tiles. As well as mechanically fixing the boards with screws / wedi washers do I need to use tile adhesive or can I use the wedi adhesive / sealant? I spoke to wedi who said their sealant can be used as an...

Hi folks, So bought my first house a year ago and have recently ripped out the shower room to start again. I've opted to go for Wedi which is already up on the walls and have also built a 100mm concealing wall now boarded with Wedi utilising their rather expensive washers. I'm now at the...

hi all, After abit if advice re boards for shower and tanking.... My 1200x800 shower has two existing walls within it, one of plasterboard stud wall and the other plastered masonry. I was thinking of removing the plasterboard within the shower area and replacing with either wedi or Hardie...

Not to be confused with filler foam. This is a foam adhesive. Fast setting and sticks more than it expands although does expand a bit apparently.

Hello, I went to Tile Shed today as instructed by my tiler to get some 6mm no more ply and was given XL Dukkaboard which they say is the same. Have any of you professional tilers used or heard of it. Thanks in advance for any info.

Hey all, So I'm about to start working on a wetroom project on my first floor (and am not interested in UFH). Naturally, this is currently timber floorboards - which are in good nick, however, in a previous thread, someone posted that I should remove these and place 22mm NMP down directly onto...

Hi All, Pleases can you advise which is the superior product Wedi or delta? Is it a matter of personal preference, or are there certain characteristics of one that is better then the other?

Hi, I have been recently renovating my bathroom, and when taking down the drywall around the tub surround, I was surprised to see that my exterior wall was right there (drywall was held up by wood strapped to the exterior wall), and that there was mold on the exterior wall. i removed the old...

Hello, I am new here, need some help please. I am tanking a small bathroom with Marmox multiboard or Wedi board (probably Marmox it is cheaper). However there is a sloped ceiling which will partially be in the shower cubicle and get wet, it intrudes into the room quite far down to 150cm from...

I'm going to be installing marmox boards in my new bathroom onto the brick walls using the dot and dab and dowel fixing method but would just like to clarify what to do at the joints. In wet areas I've read that you use the marmox waterproof sealing tape and dry/damp areas just self adhesive...

I was going to fix backerboards with a continuous bed of adhesive (presuming they're not too squiffy), or dot-and-dab plus fixings if they look nasty. The wall is a standard thermalite type block thing. Might be a silly question but do I need to prime the wall or is the adhesive all right to go...

Just about to line my en-suite out with Marmox boards onto the existing (new build) hardwall finish. Primed with Mapei G first and will use spankers/dowels but what's the consensus on dot n dab vs full bed of addy? Will end up with 300 x 600 9mm porcs on top, but the spankers are there to...
