Im tiling a shower enclosre next week - the area is plasterboard with some patches of plaster where damage occured when old tiles were removed. Im using white star adhesive. Do i need to prime the walls with anything? My main concern is waterproofing - dont want the tiles to fall off after a week cos of water. Will | ||||||||||

thought so - so AA are generally type 1 powdered? Also re: tanking, i was under the assumption that tanking is applied across the entire shower area, i.e. from height of about 2 meters? Am i correct? Just read a post where one fella says to tank to a height of 1 tile from the shower tray. | ||||||||||

AA is a type 3 cement adhesive....just tank inside the shower area or the area which is prone to getting wet for prolonged periods.....dave... | ||

can you then tile directly onto tanked walls using white star? Also, sorry, what is a good but fairly well priced tanking kit? WP1 is too expensive for this customer, what about the Dunlop one? Anygood? | ||||||||||

Try using schluter kerdi mat..would cost about £25.00 to do a three wal shower....dave.......A systematic approach to waterproofing: Getting moisture under control - Schlüter-Systems or the weber one is cheaper than wp1......Weber, building solutions for facades, tiling and construction | ||

AA just refers to the adhesives resistance to water..not whether it is tub gear or bagged...if it was tub gear then it would be type 2 AA and if it was cement gear then it would be type 3 AA and so on.....dave...( bs5980:1980 )... ---- Quote:
