Thread: Wetroom Conversion Advice

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by ryan_0405
Hi All, I've decided to renovate our bathroom with a wetroom style shower area and would be grateful for any advice you can give me before I start. The bathroom is 3m x 2m and has a suspended wooden floor. The shower area will be approx 1m x 1.2m with a 700mm Glass splash screen on one side.

I would like to buy the 5mtr tanking / stress kit for wooden floors but I'm wondering if the reduced price is only for the pro's since only tradesmen can enter the arms?

if you give Tony (Wetdecs) a phone Gill, and say that Tilers Forums sent you, I'm sure you'll get the best price

hi,tiling a wetroom floor next week and its the first one i have done. my question is-when tiling the showertray do you leave a grout joint on the tiles that you have cut that form the fall on the tray or just cut them with rubi cutter and kind of just butt then up(as you would a paving slab thats falling in 2 diffrent directions) ? hope thats not to confusing as thats the best way i can describe...

Leave at least 2mm and grout....

dagger replied 3 months, 1 week ago
cut the tiles and use your floor spacers to seperate the cuts:

Many formers need support you may save on the board but pay on the labour and messing around. Foam cored wetroom formers in wood floors, suport the trap my ar$e. You get what you pay for, simple fact in this business do it once do it right !!!!!! .

Glad you got round it despite the lack of help from us lot! Well done FH Is there some sort of optical illusion going on with that shower? In the first pic it looks like a standard size shower and in the second looks really wide! It looks as though it's going to be a great shower but if it is really wide then the system must have some pressure for those body jets to work... ahhh just noticed how high they've been placed allowing for...

Tonto, like everyone else, i wasn't aware of the extent of your problem. No point even worrying about the shower yet, need to get the brickwork sorted first.
