I'm going on their installer course soon. Maybe it can change my opinion because I really don't rate Impey (yet).
I have the opinion that Impey has been in the hands of plumbers and builders for too long.
Long enough to give it a bad reputation in my experience.

Totally agree.....
I went on a hour presentation, in a plumbers merchant and there were points in the fittings process and in the claims made of the membrane which, as a tiler alarmed me.
Namely the joint between deck, plastic and wooden floor, asking for crack to form. The claim the waterproofing sheet act's as a uncoupling membrane which can handle 10mm movement in substrate with any damage to tiles!
Couldn't till me what, if any the national or international standards it has passed!
The membrane can have up 160w ufh wire but not limit to wet ufh max out put.
From a plumbers point of view it may tick all the boxes but as a tilers view point whose install could fail, I would not be happy fixing over... Yet!

I'm going to go though because it keeps coming up and whilst I install Schluter and Wedi all day with full confidence, I'd like to be doing the same with Impey. they are shifting lots of units after all...

I get on well with waterguard. The only things that niggle me are when using the butyl sealant on joints......it never skins over as it says. Also the issue of clamping the membrane into the drain.......it never really seems to clamp it down, just seems a bit too lose. I have had to run a 1cm strip of waterguard around the inside of the drain to pack it out so it creates a tight seal.

Any ideas on this @Impey Showers ?

It will be great to meet and dispell any fears.
Which venue are you heading to?

So are you saying if us tilers have any worries or questions to ask we have to pay to go on one of your course's to get answers? Or will you answer them on here @Impey Showers

 

[Impey Showers]

Ha, no not atall. All the recent queries here are currently with our technical team. I'll share them once they arrive.
