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...

I’ve got Hardiebackers for my en suite walls and will be tanking them with BAL WP1. Do I then need to apply a primer for the adhesive after tanking? I’ll be using Mapei Keraflex S1 as my adhesive. Cheers.

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.

Some of you might remember the tile backer board experiment I started a few weeks ago. It consisted of a thin piece of board inserted into a bottle of water to see if the cement broke down or changed shape in any way or if the bond between foam/cement came away. There was no change at all in...
