Default Re: filling bath to silicone

If the bath is fitted correctly, it will not drop. If Classi Seal is used it will not leak. The problem for some tilers is that they do not know the standard of workmanship of the plumber therefore it can be an unknown situation that you have to deal with.

Oversized baths can be another problem. Two man baths (Whoever thought up that name?) can only be sealed while standing in the tub, unless you are Stretch Armstrong, so they have to be done dry.

This joint is classed as a movement joint under BS5385. Rather than type a long post, the www.sealuxportal.com has a FAQ list on the left hand side of the screen. Some of the questions there may be of interest.

An issue one might consider is that silicone exposed to the shower environment deteriorated, attracts a bio-slime and looks bad. Sealux offer several alternative solutions (on the same portal) that conceal the silicone from view and the shower environment allow great flexibility without tearing or de-bonding.


Regards
Ger
