Thanks Mudster, that clears the aquapanel and waterproofing up. Even if i went the single skin route though is there still gonna be a problem with aquapanel requiring an air gap when there is rockwool insulation in use.

I am going to replace the chipboard floor in my bathroom withh 18mm wbp ply. The bathroom size is 9ft 8inch by 4ft 10inch the joist, run down the longer dimension. What would be the best way to lay the ply, down the longer length following the joist or across the joists ( the 4ft 10inch...

The aquapanel thing has got me confused Mudster, so does aquapanel let water through. The reason the boards are being layered is thats the way they originally were, in fact there was 3 layers of 12.5mm board. I had posted on here asking why the builders had used this many layers some time back...

Ok thanks, looks like i am not going to be able to use aquapanel due to there being 2 skins going on the wall. I spoke to Knauf technical today and was told that aquapanel needs to have an air gap behind it, which of course wont be there with it being screwed on top of the first skin of...

Is it ok to mix plasterboard and aquapanel in either of these ways 1: Along the same wall like this, wall needs say 3 sheets of board. First sheet normal plasterboard then next two sheets aquapanel. 2: Wall needs the same 3 sheets but is going to have a double skin of boards, like so...

Thanks Mudster, Mapei may be the way to go. Seeing as how Topps are holding the Ball stuff to ransom :lol: . I got quoted £17.99 for 20kg of keraflex yesterday and for Primer-G £3.48 for 1kg and £13.99 for 5kg . Its liquid so it seems strange they sell it by the kg. I dont know what its...

Im only looking to cover 20/22sq/m and it looks like the tub stuff aint gonna do the job. Were did you buy your BAL stuff from.

I was advised to use "BAL ctf3" for a tiling job but the only supplier in my area want,s a kings ransom for it. I was told about this product and spoke to there tech department today. Its tile adhesive called "Keraflex Maxi" and its made by "Mapei". Has anyone used it. I told there tech they...

Yeah there dear alright, everything,s got a big mark up. Unfortunately there the only one,s in Liverpool it seems that stock BAL. Ive come across another adhesive im hoping will be ok. Im gonna make a seperate post about it. Mudster, nice to know the APD goes a long way, especially seeing as...

I might get away with one bottle of APD then, i will look before i buy. Its a bathroom thats getting done and the new board thats going up is water resistant, its the wall with the bath on. Im in Merseyside, i will have a look round and see what i can find tommorow. Do Topps do a own brand...

Thanks for the info and working out Mudster. I had a look on the ready mixed tub and this is it "Dunlop waterproof ceramic wall tile adhesive" i think it said flexible to. It does say on it if your putting up large format tiles use a powdered cement based adhesive. The place were i bought it...

Thanks for the info Mudster, the tile size is 440x310x9.25mm and they weigh 2.2kg apiece. Someone has worked this out before but i cant find the info 17kg sq/m seems to ring a bell. As for what there made of all i know is there ceramic tiles, they didnt cost a fortune though. The concern with...

I know ive asked this or something similar before but its been that long i could do with a refresher. A job that should have been finished months ago, will i hope be getting done shortly. I have quite heavy wall tiles which are close to the weight limit recommended for going on to plaster...

I was coming to that conclusion as well Mudster :lol:

Its about putting tiles on a newly built partition wall. I dont want to go into the full details as its a long story. It certainly is a strange statement though.

This is from a communication recieved during a long running insurance dispute, but what does it mean does it have a meaning or is it just waffle. It is about wall tiles He advised that as the tiles are vertical and as long as they are sealed correctly there should not be a problem. What...

Some info on resitors, you probably know but 1ohm resistor = voltage drop of 1volt per amp .1ohm resistor = voltage drop of 100mv per amp .01ohm resistor = voltage drop of 10mv per amp I would suggest going for the later as heat will start to become a problem as will the voltage...

Here,s a cure from Microsoft, it involves editing the registry so take care http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q271510/ Someone may know an easier repair. Sometimes compacting the folders can help found here open outlook express go to file / folder / compact all folders This is for XP...
