I'm a DIY'er refitting a bathroom and en-suite and with 2 showers to tank/waterproof.
One I plan to line with 12mm hardiebacker, and it also includes a preformed Schluter niche.
The second will be lined with MR plasterboard dot and dabbed to brick walls, so I don't believe concrete board is an option.
In both showers the trays are already in place.
There's a huge difference in price between, e.g. a Mapei tanking kit and a Schluter waterproofing kit with membrane and I'm getting confused with what is the best solution. Is this because the Mapei is water resistant and the Schluter waterproof?
I wan't to do it right first time so willing to spend for the best, so am in need of the professionals recommendations.
Also, advice on how best to achieve the seal to the trays is needed?
