    Default Wetroom

    Morning all,
    this will be my first wetroom and i'm suffering from information overload!!!
    The room is 1.5m x 2.5m and all the walls are striped back to the brick which is very uneven!

    i was intending to dot and dab insulted (thermal)plasterboard (GTEC) and then tank/waterproof the plasterboard and use 20mm wedi board for the floor.

    OR

    as above with 4mm wedi board attached to the thermal plasterboard

    OR (most expensive)

    Dot and Dab 20/30mm Wedi board and pin

    Which solution would you recommend, and if the first option which tanking/waterproofing.

    I would batten the walls but they are that bad i think i would have to build independant stud walling - making the room even smaller!

    any other advice much appriciated -too many options and not enough experiance!

    you could go this way if you can try to get some plugs in the wall to help fasten the plasterboard and yes waterproof

    take it the floor is timber with no deflection

    Thanks Jay,
    The Floor is concrete, - using the wedi board as insulation for Underfloor Heating.

    Will need to tape and seal wall to floor - any recommendations for wall tanking/waterproofing ?
