About to fit out a wetroom with Wedi board, it has very well cured Hardwall (12 months) on the walls which are flat and keyed. What's the best adhesive to bond Wedi board to it? (Boards will also get mechanical fixings but I'm worried about Cement based adhesives onto to Gypsum Hardwall....

Long time lurker first time poster I'm currently planning a wet room in an extension which was built a year ago. 3 of the 4 walls are thermalite with Hardwall but no finish plaster. The hard wall is very flat and keyed as my builder knew I planned to board out the room (it's also very dry as...

Hi Peeps I finally got around to doing the two day Wedi installers course last week. Very interesting and well worth doing. They do two courses a month. Sharon

New to using Jackoboard and may have potentially dropped a bollock so wanted to check first. The picture is an internal corner where a 800x800 shower enclosure is going. I have joined the boards with boardfix / wedi 610 and pulled the washers down just below the surface so they have dished...

Hi I need some advise regarding adhesive and primer to overlay 18mm chipboard floor with 10mm Marmox board. Tiles 60x30 porcelain I spoke to Mapei and they advised Eco Pro Grip +Keraquick + Latex - is that overkill? Also is it possible to use slow setting adhesive to tile on Marmox ,like...

Hello all you lovely knowledgeable forum members! We are about to take on a bathroom refit, where one of the main reasons for doing so is to enable installation of a standalone shower (rather than just over the bath). It is a wooden floor, but the shower tray will fitted in a corner, and raised...

Hi There Planning on using wedi board around a bath. I am having difficulty finding a supplier in North London. Anyone know any good places where I can purchase Wedi board? Also is it worth purchasing sealing tape? It is £40+ a role, are there any other options that are as suitable and work...

Hi all, My marmox shower tray is quite lower than my floor tiles since laid so is it ok to build it up with adhesive and shape to the drain prior to laying the mosaics. It's mainly on the back wall the porcelain mosaics are approx 8mm the floor tiles are 10mm and the difference from the shower...

Anyone done it? If so, is it worth doing and had any work from being approved? Cheers, Harry

Hi all, Just curious to know what people think about using wedi board on floor boards/bathroom floors. I currently use no more ply 6mm glued and screwed. My local supplier does not stock no more ply but has got wedi board 6mm/12mm. Would the wedi board do a good job as no more ply or is there...

Evening all. Got a job where I have to dot on dab some tile insulation backer board onto brickwork to build them out to the same depth as the existing plasterboard. I am going to mechanically fix them aswell but wanted to know whether to use plasterboard adhesive or tile adhesive on the wall...

Currently building wetroom with wedi gear. Floor tiles are 15x15 unglazed ceramic non slip (ugly!!) Only done a handful of wetrooms and the floors have always been large format (so envelope cutting) or mosaics. Should I still do what I normally do with bigger tiles and dry lay and mark falls...

Hi 1st time post, newbie tiler after some advise. I am planning on tiling the whole of the downstairs in a 3 storey townhouse, total area is around 30 square meters, have ordered 33 square meters of this porcelain tile. The room is kitchen / diner / family room, with a cloakroom and hallway...

Can anyone advise me on whether I should prime marmox multiboard with BAL SBR before tiling using BAL Single Part Flexible adhesive or can I tile straight onto the boards. Thanks

As a tile fitter only - as I don't get involved in room prep prior to tiling, would it be down to me to tape and fill joints between backerboards before tiling or would you expect the installer of the boards to complete this proces or inform me that this proces is required?

Hello, A bit confused with variety of XPS backer boards. Wedi, Kerdi, Jacko, Dukka, Marmox - is there any real difference in quality between them? I have used Wedi before, it is great, but it is twice more expensive. I will use it for porcelain tiles on the walls, if it makes any difference. Any...

Hi. I am pricing a small bathroom. It has been refurbished with new chipboard flooring. Do I need to use a backer board or will flexible adhesive cope? There's not much movement and the new boards are level. There are two steps into the bathroom so a doorway is not affected by levels. Advice...

Just been round to a job where the plumber has installed a shower tray and siliconed up the edges against the backerboard (Marmox type - unsure of make) - all fine, except he has smeared it into a thin layer approx. 30mm up all the way around. Planning to tank the shower using Mapegum etc...
