Advice for Shower - Tile Advice

[daved2424]

Hello

I am looking for some advice as to what adhesives etc people would recommend for my shower.

It is a shower above a bath. I have put 6mm HardieBacker on the walls. The tiles are 600 x 300 x 9.5 mm porcelain.

Should I tank the HardieBacker first? What with and what adhesive would you recommend? Do people have preferred brands, such as Mapei or BAL.

Many thanks

Hi @daved2424,

Yes the Hardie will need tanking, I use Tilemaster tanking products also Tilemaster standard Seta-flex adhesive.

Hope this helps

I'm hoping it's over boarded not direct to studwork

Yes. Installed as per the manufacturers instructions. Or do you perhaps have some professional insight to add?
