Power Shower adhesive

**Steve7** · 20-10-2010

Hello All

I'm a newbie on here so please be gentle with me...

I'm a decorator who's been roped into tiling a power shower cubicle and have been recommended about 100 different adhesives to use,I'm looking for the best option for ease of use and availability. Tile's will be fixed to aquapanel. The shower is in a shared house so is used up to 5 times in the morning and again in the evening.

Help me end this nightmare of adhesive and grout choices pleeeeease...

With that amount of people using it I would be tanking it as well.......

Single part flexible powdered adhesive, Mapei grout

Both Mapei? I thought using acquapanel and waterproof adhesive removed the need for tanking the enclosure?

Thanks for the reply.

For availability - what area are you from?
What size tile are you fixing?

Thanks for the reply.

aquapanel is water resistant not waterproof, deffo a case or tanking with all that traffic imo, and also agree with Whitebeam on the addy and grout

Im also with Whitebeam on this..Mapei all the way.

you could use mapei p9 if you can get hold of it. its a slow set powder addy so would give you plenty of time to tile nicely if you have not done it before. available in grey or white. and as whitebeam, go for mapei grout. They also do an tanking kit.
