see thats it, alot of tanking systems have that fibreglass kit with it, PCI has rubber matting that cannot be penetrated, not only does it have the rubber matting BUT it has 2 4x4inch square rubber mats with circles cut into it that you stretch around the pipes for the hot cold shower taps for a tight seal, you dont get that with WP1, the rubber paste you paint on the wall with wp1 is too thick and bumpy, the PCI in contrast is like painting walls with normal paint, it is fool proof.
I would prefer to have rubber matting going along my joints than a fibreglass matting

i am doing a job at the moment and the customer got a SPECIALIST in to do the tanking it did make me laugh i have been using tankinging products for years and use pci or a company called ALFIX which is danish .the SPECIALIST charged £1000 which the stupid customer happily paid this specialist didnt tape round the perimeter of the room{wall to floor joint} but to be fair did make a very neat job of what he did do i am thinking of giving up tiling and becoming a tanking specialist as the money starts at £1000 per day lol

i hope you at least put your price up.. he has obviously more money than sense, and for £1000 i would take my time and make a pretty job too

I primarily use a system from Ardex called "Tricom". I don't think it's availible in the UK.

Here'e a link to a PDF about it. It's in swedish, but you can still look at the pictures.

Essentially, it's a water and vapor proof membrane which you apply with either a ready mixed wpc (for absorbant substrates), or a two component wpc (for non-absorbant substrates, or when you're in a hurry). Fairly fast to apply, and it's tileable after two to six hours, depending on which WPC was used.

The two component WPC can be used without the membrane in situations where there is rising damp, ie old cellars, as well.

I use Aquaproof system from Aquatecnic, very easy to use and they are very helpful.

it doesn't really matter about the price the customer foots the bill anyway, so as long as its good and does the job and the customer is happy we are all happy

I am using the Aquaproof tanking system which is not on your list. Ive found this system very easy to install
