3mm would be best for your wall and floor tiles, I would match up the grout joints if they are the same size tile. Seal before and after grouting, keep sealing until the stone stops absorbing then it is done. I prefer using lithofin products over any other, they are the best. You will...

In all honesty I would forget using Aquapanel. Buy yourself a pre formed shower tray base which has a slope already built in, then build your tray edges with a Wedi, Marmox or Lux board, basically an extruded foam board (a nice thick bit, 50mm or so would be best) I would fit a Marmox...

My personal choice would be Aquapanel glued and screwed over Marmox, as foam backer boards don't have huge amounts of strength unless you go for a thick type. Unless it's a wet room and you are relying on the marmox as a waterproof barrier, in which case forget Aquapanel, it's waterproof...

A good tiler will only use bagged adhesive, a single part flexible adhesive is all I use. You may get away with a lower specced Bagged adhesive as you have ceramic tiles. Check your local suppliers for advice.

Decent Fischer Nylon plugs and as mentioned a nice tight hole :wink:

Too heavy a tile really, unless the walls truly are perfect and you can keep the bed thickness down to a minimum which will be diufficult with a tile that size. I just hope that you're not fitting brick bond otherwise you could be in trouble. I have refused to do jobs in the past due to tile...

Rip up existing flooring in it's entirety then fit 18mm Ply or 18mm Weyroc then overboard with either Hardibacker glued and screwed (rapidset flexible) or plywood. 18mm or 25mm directly onto joist is possible but it requires an Elastomeric adhesive, as per Bals recommendation. A standard...

I have fitted it a few times, one time I fitted the ribbon type to Laminate and the other was a foil sheet onto engineered oak. The results were pretty poor if I remember correctly

Yes, Homelux will give you just about enough, provided you tank 1 metre up and use the matting to form a band for your internal corners

You need to leave the grout a couple of weeks to fully cure before using either shower. Plus the floors should really be tanked

I see your tanking kit is 'plasterboard colour' :lol: :wink: Tell me, why the slither? It might have been avoided if you didn't install the unnecessary ledge on the Bath Panel. Give me a shout if you want a tip on getting the finished panel recessed slightly

Plasterboard and no tanking round the Bath.

Bathrooms shouldn't be constructed like that anymore. I agree, Marine Ply is unnecessary. Ply is a bad idea altogether, as I mentioned earlier, tile backer board and an access panel with Schluter Rema. Plasterboard? not ideal

Look at that Speedfit lash up, it's a common sight these day, even see it done by so called professionals!

Don't use any type of timber here, you should be using a tile backer board, like Aquapanel. Make sure you fix another piece of timber near the tap end too. You won't have much of a shelf on your Bath surround there, normally it is tiled so that the finished tiled surface sits slightly...

It's never gonna look particularly good whatever you do now. It would have been a better option to have bought the new Towel rad then brought the pipes out from the wall at the correct distance. As it is now, just cut the microbore down, then set the pipes to meet a Towel rad with straight...

The walls need tanking, I would clad in plasterboard then use a tanking membrane ontop, the main issue here is the horizontal section, how about using a cut to size stone worktop which slightly overhangs the vertical tiling, it would make it a lot easier and cleaner.

You've not seen the old fashioned German toilets? a little 'display shelf' behind the water where the 5hite rests on before it's flushed. Really stinks having a turd open in the air. On the plus side, it gives the Jewish users the opportinuty to really examine what they are giving away.

Yeah, I got bored of this forum very quickly, couldn't even be bothered to post replies to Topics :lol: One thing I have noticed, I'm getting PM's off random posters asking for advice on subjects. Could we please stop this, this is what the Forum is for. :roll:

1, These are pretty good:- http://www.just-trays.co.uk/intro.html 2, Yes, add noggins between joists and at edges of Ply. Not rigid enough to tile onto though. 3, No way 4, Ply is a poor substrate for tiling, Moisture resistant P/board is better. 5, I avoid these flexy wastes if I...
