Material: 400 x 400 10mm natural honed calibrated slate Shower Cubicle: U Shape 800 x 1200 x 800mm Tiling Pattern: Brick Bond Questions: 1) When tiling the above where do I start? Was planning on tiling the two outer walls first, up in coloumns using brick bond. I was going to butt up...

I'm tiling my 'u' shape enclosure (800 x 1200mm) with 400mm x 400mm x 10mm natural slate tiles using brick bond. My questions are: 1) Where to start - I was going to tile the two outer walls first, starting from the bottom (full tile height as the tiling is going up to 2m), marking out the...

I also want to know - 2 of the walls are moisture board and the third wall is cement render. I've bought a dunlop tanking kit to tank out and I have some primer for the cement render wall - I assume the cement render go's on before the tanking kit?

I'm tiling a 'u'shaped shower enclosure with 10mm thick slate tiles. I'm fitting a frameless merlyn series 10 shower door (http://www.merlyn-bathrooms.com/merlyn_local/products/enclosures/merlyn/10series/product.php?product_id=97) which has two metal profiles to hold the glass in place...

That could well be the case, the speedfit stiffener does protrude I would guess a good 3-4mm. My plumber friend did use copper on all my rad valves, then plastic from the elbow on. I think I might revert to copper ends for this to be safe!!! HEP2o is a better system I agree, but unfortunately my...

Connnected my cold supply with speedfit to metal ball o fix/flexi to tap. After 2 months of use last night it burst off, the tube stiffener was left in the ball o fix. I cut the pipe squarely and used speedfit pipe and stiffeners. Anyone any ideas why this has happened, - could I have over...

I'm tiling a 'u' shaped cubicle. The shower door is 2m high. I have 2.3m height before the ceiling angles out (where a staircase butts into the ceiling). I was thinking of tiling to 2m, the same height as the door so visually it all ties in. Is this high enough do you think? The shower...

Understood, sorry for dumb questions but just needed to understand. thanks

I'm ready to put on the final coat. The scratch coat is almost dry but I'm afraid I have had no choice. I will damp it down slightly before I put on the final layer. With regard to the additive, I am using Evermix 3 in 1. As I have a whole tub of this stuff just for this job, - if I mix it...

Balls!! What to do now then? - give it a try when I get in?

Thanks Richard, It is drying as we speak as I did it last night. Would it matter if it was totally dried out when I put on the second layer? I assume the second layer also needs to be quite a dry mix?

OK, I've put on the scratch layer as recommended. Damped down the bricks which were quite low absorbtion, waited ten minutes and applied a dryish mix, with the evermix 3 in 1 additive. It appears to be drying slowly and not cracking. How long do I need to wait before applying the second layer...

just doing mine in grey slate, lovely to work with and nice finish.

I decided on the same height as the taps in the end!
