Hi yes only 1 tile wide ,longer wall is 120cm wide.

Thank you , so i don`t have to seal /primer tile adhesive :mrgreen: To be honest i am not sure how many degrees it is exactly :) But over that 75cm width of the tile it makes a around 10-12mm difference in depth between the ends (roughly )

On a different note I have slightly messed up the 90 degree between one of the short walls and the long one . Its more like 93-94 degrees. In order to get the large tiles I have (30 x 75cm ) to sit at a 90 degree to the longer wall i need to back butter one end a lot.(20mm) I can see on the...

Chris its a 2nd hand unit which i thought i had all parts for but perhaps the inner O rings did not come with it. Sadly there is no manufacturer info i can find either

I am trying to fit a concealed shower valve into this wall but i have some doubts about the sealing around the control knobs when the whole thing comes together. As per photos the decorative rings that go between the cover plate and the threaded piston things has internal rubber O ring which...

Thanks for your reply and clearing this up . Yes i have seen the tech sheet before i decided on STS boards for this job but i had a chat with an SBS tech guy via their website today telling me i have to use a tanking system for peace of mind. I even for one minute doubted what i have read on...

Has anyone had first hand / long term experience with SBS foam boards for tiling ? I am currently trying to tile a shower enclosure (3 walls) Mainly due to uneven walls i have used 10mm STS tiling foam boards on all walls. I am reading mixed views about priming and tanking these before tiling...

Here is the photo of the fitting. Also cant understand how this get secured to the wall with those screws at the back. Am i missing some metal plate perhaps ?

Above is the message i am getting trying to upload the photo . Could any of the admins help ?

Sorry I just managed to take a photo of the actual bits today but I can’t seem to be able to upload on to the forum as it is giving me some sort of error. will try tomorrow.

So I must be missing the outer O rings. In that case am I right thinking everything behind the panel has to be water proofed and any water getting behind the panel should just run down and out ?

Hi All , I am trying to fit a concealed shower valve into a stud wall which i have access to the rear of only. I have all the bits that came with the system (2nd hand ) but quiet confused as to how the front decorative panel gets secured in its place. Made this plywood template to act as the...

Hi All , I am installing a concealed mixer valve with a separate hand held shower head. I am a bit surprised to see the fitment on the hand held shower head supply though . Instead of the usual screw on type ,it is a push on fit (similar to a garden hose connection ) with a grub screw from...

Thats not a bad idea to be honest. Any idea of a good brand that will last long years as i dont want to be doing this job often? Also since the breeze blocks are super porous , is there anything i can use to seal them before the paint ?

I have got a garage built with breeze blocks (single skin) and one of the side walls get a lot of rain in driving wind in the winter. This wall is not so visible as it is partially blocked by neighbour`s fence hence working space is tight & it does not need to look pretty however it needs to be...

thank you , that definitely gives me some direction now. Could you confirm TYVEK application would be straight on to the wall held in place with vertical battens ? One side gets a lot of wind and rain push which i would like to keep nice and dry as i want to insulate from inside later.

So it would be tyvek wrap with roofing battens on top then water proof sheet of some sort. I presume rendaboard would need to be rendered as well ?

Sorry , it is single block not cavity.

I have just had my double pitch garage built using breeze blocks at the end of the garden (mid terraced house ) On one side I have a fence on the other side I have a garage wall. I have roughly around 40-50cm for on either side for rendering or cladding. I am mainly trying to achieve weather...

I thought there should be impervious bricks under the dpc. Surely they are sucking water from the ground but as long as the water is not being passed above the dpc and the bricks not staying wet all the time i would not worry too much.
