If you put these on the floor how do you get them to merge with the wooden floor in an adjacent room?

The boards here are installed on top of a ply I think? What's the best approach if the boards are going on top of concrete/screed? Does the surface need sealing/priming before using the Fix-KST?

Hi just wanted to know what was the tanking substance you brushed on the jointing tape?

[annroberts]

My husband’s is a kitchen fitter but is doing our bathroom - silly man was going to user plasterboard in the shower until I showed him these videos. It’s cost a few pennies more but a drop in the ocean compared to the cost of the bathroom. Thanks Rog

What do you guys recommend for bathroom ceiling? Just plaster?

Thank you

Question please - I have an uninsulated concrete floor and wondering if it was possible to lay insulated tile backing boards with appropriate adhesive on the concrete floor and then lay tiles on top of the backing board. Your advise would be appreciated. Thank you

What’s the blue paste going on around joins and pipes? Many thanks! Great vid

Would this board be needed if you're using full length pvc wall panels instead of tiles?

[neilrafferty]

What if you only want a couple of tiles around your bath but want to use this board?

Hi, can you use wood screws, or do you need a that doesn't rust like drywall screws

[its-simple-living]

Can you use these boards in the following situation: solid clay brick wall and bond the boards on the wall? Do they need any mechanics fixing after that? Thanks.

[jamesmitford]

As an installer, the taping of joints is interesting. The specific recommendation with some manufacturers of backer boards is sealing the joints with Mega strength adhesive.

I get it... and I'm using backerboards in my new wet room already. However, there are millions of bathrooms out there that don't have a problem, and were constructed way before backboards were invented. So what did they used to do to get it 'right'? Surely tiling and grouting properly is your waterproof defence. My 10 year old bathroom was done with moisture boards, then they actually plastered it before tiling. It's been fine ever since and no grout has come out and as far as I can tell - the shower is still waterproof.

Is it possible/recommended to skim over with multi-finish plaster and If so does it need to be PVA'd? My bathroom refurbishment job is only half tiled around the room and fully tiled in the area around the shower over bath.

Hi - no insulation /wool under board ?

[stevenb]

Surely these type of boards are going to compress with the weight of a wall hung toilet + user and crack the tiles, eventually, ?

[positivepush]

I have plasterboard in my wet room shower, it was fitted in the summer, it's now has black mould and mushrooms growing it. Needless to say, it got be ripped out.

Do you know if the membrane will effect the told adhesive strength?
