Anyone?

 

[Bond]

Lots of tanking options available, mapei, Ardex, purigum, etc all good , from those my personal choice would be Ardex WPC. Tanking kit.

 

[DHD]

Thanks Bond.

Is the Ardex WPC ok to use as a tanking membrane to the floor under the shower tray?

 

[Bond]

Absolutely.👌

 

[DHD]

Ok, I've got a box of Ardex WPC and almost ready to go with it. The tape supplied in the box is a scrim tape. Is this ok to use at the floor/wall join as well as in the vertical corners and board joints?

 

[Bond]

Aye it’s fine, the tape will reinforce the joint the tanking compound will cover/seal the junction.

 

[DHD]

Great, thanks again.
What sealing method would you recommend on the shower tray? Classi seal?

 

[Bond]

Classi seal is a good start, l tend to go belt and braces and also use silicone alongside then silicone again after tiling.

That was my plan - thanks again Bond, you've been very helpful.
