    Impey Waterguard, how high to go?

    I am using Impey Waterguard to tank the floor and walls of my wet room project. The supplier of the Waterguard (who are wet room installers) advised me to only go 1mtr high on the walls to ensure better tile adhesion above this height. The walls are skimmed plaster. Anyone got any thoughts on this?
