Hi,
Looking for some advice....
A returning client has came to me in a bit of a dilemma and requires quite a large job to go ahead immediately.
We have knocked down internal walls and lifted floor, new room to consist of wet floor all off one slab of marble templated and cut for falls ideally in 3 large pieces each around 1.5m/sq
The room is kind of 'cone' shaped and will be new curved walls at one end with an aperture of roughly 1600mm tapering out to 1800mm and then into a point at this end will be the wall hung WC and drain will be at curved end
Firstly, the new curved walls will be floor to ceiling, so....should the stud wall be built first as normal with CLS and then sheeted on top with insulation board. Will 6mm boards bend to the arc of a 450mm radius circle? I will need more sheeting support underneath this also I take it?
Secondly because of the nature of the architecture the joist sit at 45 degrees and there is exsisting piped underfloor heating floating on plates i'll need to remove and re dwang to 300mm centres, but which thickness of substrate would you recommend minimum to avoid any cracking in such large pieces of marble? Obviously some decoupling/ditra will be needed as well.
And lastly, Originally i had thought that a preformed wet deck would have done, one with 4 falls as opposed to 2 as we have to be able to get a wheelchair in and out with the lip created by the 2 fall linear deck, BUT as of tonight we have thought about the whole floor being the wet area with no screen for ease of access with basically the gulley/drain being the width of the room and effectively 2/3 of the marble sloping one way and 1/3 the other so a preformed deck is kinda out of the question what other wonderful ways would you lovely lot go about creating the runs on the wet floor??
I hope this post makes sense!! Really up against it with time constraints on this one so not had any time to colaborate with anyone or
do my homework.
Any help would be much appreciated and ideas most welcomed thanks!!
Ive attatched drawing of existing and proposed but ignore the two seperate drains on the proposed as this will now be one long drain
