It's a bathroom with overshower bath. Will be tiled.
I want to tank it round the bath with a memebrane based product, probably Homelux but will investigate what's available and reccomended.
What sort of a 'lip' will be left where the tanking ends? Reason I ask is the whole wall will be tiled, but I was only planning to tank the bath area. Will the lip be small enough to lose in the tiling, or should I tank the whole walls. Which will be a pain, as both walls have windows, one has a toilet etc, etc.
Instructions here http://www.homelux.co.uk/downloads/WaterproofMatting_FittingInstructions.pdf suggest a 5mm trowel.
So I assume it's about whatever the adhesive ends up when it's flattened, plus the thickness of the membrane itself. And double that at joints.
So I'm guessing about 3 or 4 mm, but would like to hear from somebody who's done it.
Many thanks, Mike
