Riw fwm membrane - TilersForums.com

[jonnyc]

I've got couple of large walk in showers to tank Monday with supplied tile safe bitumen membrane.
unfortunately no wall tanking kit included.
the one that is compatible when you paint over tile safe membrane where it wraps up bottom of wall is riw fwm but can't get hold of it till Tuesday which is too late.
riw fwm is a flexible solvent free paint on membrane.
anyone know where I could get this over weekend or another product compatible with tile safe membrane

I find the best thing to use with Impey Tilesafe membrane is THE BIN!

Thats a bit harsh !!!
Ive used it over 15yrs and never had 1 wetroom problem with it.
The new membrane kit might suit you better? Cheaper and dosn't stick to you.

It's rubbish though - really it is. I'm not saying it's not effective (iirc Noah's ark was waterproofed with bitumen too!) but there are so many easier-to-use methods of waterproofing.
And just for info pretty much all wet rooms/areas I attend to are involving either Tilesafe and/or Hardibacker - used incorrectly or in the case of Impey - with ufh that's been on too high.

But that's the case with all products - if you use them right they work!
Trouble is all 'Tilers' think they are wet room installers without any instruction apart from the label.

Amen to that!
