Default Re: tanking - why?!

Hi Confused

Quite simply tanking will totally ensure that your shower wont leak water into the rooms below !
you can readsome of the posts here - all adhesives are not the same. Whilst they claim to be waterproof or water resistant that only means they will not break down and dissolve in water- it does not mean they provide a waterproof barrier to prevent water passing through them hence the need for tanking. Grouts are the same.
