    Default Tanking down to tray ?

    Hi

    Need to tank walls in shower cubicle with a shower tray, normally use Bal paste and sheets. Question is, what would you normally do when coming down the walls, do you normally lap it just over the tray edge ? enough to cover with tiles. If you just come down to the tray, what's to stop water getting through if the seal fails ? Are we just protecting the walls from water and not actually creating a waterproof area ?

    Thanks, Steve

    Run a bead of silicone between the tray & wall to seal.

    I use a Polymer tube stuff that sticks to anything and everything and can applied to wet areas as well.
