[QUOTE="woking, post: 795598"] Hi Guys, New to the forum I need advice in the few areas of tiling for by bathroom that my builders are currently making up from scratch. Here is what we plan: Wet room style tray fitted with full wet room setup from OTL. Tray former is 24mm birch ply and I am planning to lay 25mm marine ply to the joists for the rest of the floor. Additional support will be built for the former to fit it between 60mm spaced joists. Walls will be made from 18mm marine play on the side of the shower area and green pasteboard for the rest of the room. Loose wire warm up will be used for under floor heating area including wet room tray. Tanking membrane and corner tape will be used for waterproofing. OTL provided tray former, tanking stuff, tape, corners, primer and waist. Main tiles are 9.28mm 300mm x 600mm 3.5 kg. Floor tiles are 12mm x 220mm x 900mm 5kg. Here are the questions I have: 1. Should I use Hardibacker boards instead of pasteboard on the wall? My builder is not very keen on Hardibacker board as he says he will have to pre-drill them which will be time consuming. 2. Would 25mm ply give enough sturdiness laid over 600mm spaced joists or should be more support used? 3. I spoke to OTL guys and they say that normally tiles are laid direct on the ply that had tanking applied to it. My builder say that he previously had to lay Ditra or similar materials prior to tiling on the floor. He also says that tiles might not stick well if laid direct on tanking. He also mentioned that different material used for tray that for other part of the bathroom. Should I just use tanking and tile direct to it or should I also add Ditra or similar membrane? I want very good waterproofness but having both tanking and Ditra seems too much overkill or not? And my concern is that it will further increase finished floor level. 4. We also really want to have tiled shelf built in the stud wall but not sure if it would be possible to waterproof really well it and tile over in nice manner. Our builder seem a bit hesitant ti make it and say he cannot guarantee waterproofness. I’be sewn one done on Utube with corners and tanking. Does this type offers very good waterproofness? (We were considering shelves made from Kerdi boards but they a bit too wide to fit where we would like them. 5. Tiling corners. We would like them but our builder say they do not stay well on tiles and might make them not stay in place very well. Should they be used or naked tile edge good enough? My concern it that age will be prone to scuffing… Please let me know what other factors I should take into consideration and ask my builders to do. I think I would have more questions along the way but hoping to get moving in the right direction for now. Would really appreciate your advice guys. [/QUOTE]
