Gonna build a wetroom - Tile Advice

[Ajax123]

Whats the best wetroom system on the market. I've looked at a few and the easiest seems to be the wedi system. Any other suggestions.

Also where's the best place to buy?

Yes, wedi is good and easy to install. But it's not the cheapest, there's lots of others that are as good, but cheaper. Like marmox, eps etc CTD do insulation board of various thicknesses at a good price.
You could use a wedi tray and then use CTD insulation boards on the walls and floor. Then tape all joints and tank with ardex wp.
Aqua4ma is very good to fit and required no tanking, but not cheap.

No more ply have a system now. Looked good and the price was very reasonable.

Schluter for me is no.1 with Wedi a close 2nd.

I'm losing confidence in CTD boards after this:


I'm not suggesting they would fail, but the softening of the cement face after just 30 secs is worrying.

As far as trays Alan, the easiest I have used are shluter's linear ones.

That isn't a CTD board! The mesh is smaller.

It is! - pink centre (supposedly from Jackon)

Never heard of it. I will check it out - thanks.
(I love forums for this kind of info sharing)

looked at the aqua4m system as the tile supplier I am using sells it. not cheap though...

Buy cheap, buy twice

 

[Chalker]

Aqua4ma is the best I've fitted too.

 

[Mike ramsdale]

I wont use any other system any more.

Personally I like using Impey but Schluter are best

 

[hmtiling]

I quite like impey too and used to like using the novellini linear trap ones as I think they look better than envelope cutting. Think novellini formers are now foam core though. Also,I like using water guard membranes.

i always recommend impey, great company to deal with.
wedi are excellent too, never used fitted schluter as yet so I can't comment although judging by the replies kudos aqua4ma has given me something to think about for future installs.

ps, whatever brand you go for, make sure the installer is as good as the manufacturer ;0)
