- Hi, I bought some sheets of 6mm insulation board to install on my bathroom floor. (It has blue foam in the middle of it.) My subfloor is 21mm treated wooden floorboards.

- Hi I am currently getting my bathroom refitted and am installing a semi roll top bath into an area that previously was completely covered by a bath. So it was only tiled up to the bath edge.

Or should they just tile straight up and down in the wall and then install it? I have no idea. Does anyone have a photo of an example of one installed? Attached an […]
