Dear all,
First time and hoping for help! I have a AKW tuff form / level best tray installed (by builder) to create a level access shower and, because of various issues the tray is now at least 20mm below the level of the finished floor porcelain tiles around it. I plan to lay 10mm x 50mm x 50mm mosaics on the former, but the adhesive bed thickness is too great to allow a level finish (they just pop up and done all over the place as you try to level them, they are on 300mm square backings). I plan to lay a 6 mm warm up backing board, cut in triangles to keep the falls, on the tray (900 mm square with offset waste) , to reduce the thickness and to leave space for a thin bed of adhesive under the mosaics.
The questions are: is this a good idea and if not what else can i do? OR if this is OK, what do I stick the warm up insulation boards onto the AKW shower former with (grip fill???).
Please help as this is a nightmare (rest of floor is lovely, by the way!!)
