    Default Elements backer boards

    Looking for opinions on the above.

    what its like compared to Wedi? what are the fixings like? would you recomend it?

    Have a couple of Travertine wetrooms coming up, and the designer has ordered this stuff from the Bathroom supplier or should I be asking for it to be cancelled in favour of Wedi?

    Possibly rebranded stuff. Elements supply Devi. They're a firm I've known of for years, CJ Electrical. Never dealt with them personally though. They were back then the UK distributor for Devi, not sure what the crack is these days.
