Easiest way to maintain fall with Impey tray ?

[cornish_crofter]

Tilesafe is the only waterproof membrane specified for wet areas that can be installed by specialists who offer a 10 year insurance-backed guarantee; they also recommend the area is fully flood tested prior to the installation of tiles, can this be done with other products!?

Tilesafe is also specified and installed by some of the largest architects and main contractors in the UK, so they can’t all be wrong.

Oh and also, the Tilesafe does work as an uncoupling membrane… just for your info. wetdec

I'll ask out of couriosity, but do you in some way represent the manufacturer of Tilesafe?

If you do, it's important to put your hand up to it, so that we can understand that someone with a commercial interest is commenting. If not then I would be interested to know how you would back your statement up.

Well, if I don't ask, I'm sure that one of the moderators will.

AllurePTS -

Yes only slc outside of dec area if necessary.

Tile former first then rest of the floor, starting from the gully/grate outwards.

The Tilesafe and Devimat are only 2mm thick so as long as you keep your tile adhesive the same approx. thickness throughout you will not lose your falls.

Cornish - No i don't in any way represent the manufacturer. I work for a wetroom installation compan who have tried and tested nearly all the pre-formed decs & membranes available & we have found the Tilesafe Membrane to be the most effective and failsafe way to waterproof a wetroom. (I'm just knowledgeable )

Not sure I understand this...Tilesafe is 2mm thick and the devi mat cable not including the mat is ~6mm so where do you get 2mm thick from.

This is good to know.........How do you manage to get around the weight restriction put on the Tilesafe by manufacturers when using tile safe on walls, is there a way around the sagging then as Impey themselves are shying away from this area now ??

Tilesafe will acommodate a little movement say to cracking too 2mm but is not an uncoupling membrane, its a tanking membrane and should be treated as such

Welcome...go say hi in the new members forum

Wetdec....

I will go and say hi in the new members bit...should have done that first.

About Tilesafe and Devi, should of made myself clearer, i was more specifically talking about the Tilesafe being 2mm, you're right mate.

We use Mapegum WPS on the walls in conjunction with Tilesafe on the floor (with 75mm wall upstand and all corners done in reinforcing tape and WPS painted on over the top of upstands etc) when the tiles exceed the weight limit - 20kg per sqm (including tile, adhesive & grout) or generally advised as no thicker than 10mm tile including adhesive. WPS is good because it has been tested with Tilesafe and is fully compatible - easiest way we find.

Thanks for the offer Wetdec, will pop you an email shortly

See I get this a lot and its a pain because people are in a position where they need now to get 2 systems, tilesafe and the mapei gum which they quite honestly can't be bothered with. We used Mapei gum first 17yrs ago and to get the 2mm coverage for guarantee is a pain as well as drying time, this is why we settled with dura-wp as its a physical membrane like tilesafe 1 hit solution fixed with flexible tile adhesive so no other pots of portions required.

PS if you want me to tank with Dura-wp or Dura-ci for you to water test.....go for it m8 :yes:

Appreciate what you are saying r.e. two systems, but Tilesafe was the solution before people started using stupidly thick tiles on wall and like i said WPS has always been the easiest option for us to combat this. It also makes for a belt-and-braces system - drying time says 2 hours between each coat but a lot of the time it isn't that long and really the 2mm is and isn't critical because flat walls don't leak, especially after we waterproof the wall & floor junctions with Tilesafe reinforcing tape.

Sorry you lost me slightly with your p.s. It's friday after all, may be i need a break :smash:

Oh, will ask the director to send you email r.e. listing us with you, probs on Monday now.

On a side note, hope the OP is sorted now as we seem to have taken over this thread, but spose it should all be useful information to some one!

Cheers mate
