Folks, hope you can help.
I'm currently having a new extension built and will be having a new bathroom upstairs. In the bathroom, I intend to have a wet room. As such, I have a few questions
The bathroom will have a new wooden floor joists as part of the extension and I expect they will be plumb. It is currently the plan to install 22mm T&G floor boards. How should I prepare the subfloor for tiling? Should I continue to use the T&G floorboards and overboard with tile backer or have WBP installed and then overboard with tile backer? If the later, what thickness?
The bathroom will be tiled with 300mm x 600mm tiles on the walls and floors. As such, I understand I will need to have tile backer boards installed. Which brand is the best and how are they fixed to brick walls? Which thickness should I use? Can you use the tile backer board on floor? Should the tile baker board sit on top of the wet room former or should the wet room former butt up to the tile backer board? Do I need to use tile backer board all the way around the bathroom or in the wetroom/floor only?
I am currently thinking of using an Impey linear Aqua dec. Has anyone used this product and can they recommend it? I believe it is 22mm thick and it is advised to install noggins and 18mm WBP in between the joist underneath the aqua dec. What is the best way to make sure the aqua dec is level with the sub floor? I have read on this forum that a gulley collar is required to make the aqua dec 100% water proof, is this still the case? Also, will the aqua dec accept tiles sized 300mm x 600mm?
Which is the best tanking kit to use? Impey produce some but does anyone have any experience with their products? Are they any good and which one should I use? Which tile adhesive should I use for wetroom/bathroom tiles and will it have an impact on the afore mentioned tanking kit?
Think that's enough for now, thanks in advance.
