Hi All
I have a walk in shower room in my bathroom that is tiled using slate mosaics on the floor and nuance shower boards on the walls. Originally I used the MS Polymer jointing compound a the floor to wall junction about 4 years ago when I built it. There is no appreciable movement in the floor as it is built with 4x2 joists at 250mm centres overlaid with 22mm ply and then with a insulated wet room tray. the issue I have is every 6 months or so I am noticing the sealant at this junction is splitting away from the floor. I have replaced it now about 4 times and cannot figure out why it is happening other than perhaps expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. Last time I replaced it was about October last year with a simple dark brown bathroom silicone sealant. It has split once again.
Any ideas on how I might be able to make it a more permanent seal. Perhaps some old fashioned frame sealant that never really sets properly??
