How waterproofing should look like in a bathroom
This is how I believe waterproofing should look in a bathroom. I have used this method for over 20 years and have never had a failure. I will continue my same practice. When it comes to waterproofing, it has to be done 100 percent correctly, and it’s best to get a professional who knows what they’re doing. I always recommend using a tiler to waterproof so they use an adhesive that is compatible with the membrane. Also, if something goes wrong and you get a leak, the tiler can't blame the waterproofer and the waterproofer can't blame the tiler.

    You can buy a "grout bag" for 7 bucks at HD. This is basically exactly the same as an icing bag, but larger. I had to trim the tip down a bit to increase the flow to how I liked it, but I think the grout bag is a much simpler method for smaller projects. If you're going to be tuck pointing a larger project, the caulk gun might be a much better method.

    • @Jaxtiling1

      Well said , there are more broader things with this that you can do like epoxy grout and other grouts that are simulate to epoxy which is hard to do with a grout bag, a grout gun is more accurate and cleaner to use. This is a good alternative than going out and spending over $150 for a proper grout gun that when the seals wear and parts wear out you have to buy them again. I have tried both methods, and the grout gun wins buy a mile for me weather the job is small or big.

    Nice work. Just a suggestion, If you wet concrete floor first and allow it to absorb for 10-20mins, the cement slurry wont dry out as quick and the cement bed will stick better

      Thank you 🙏😊. Yes if the floor is very porous I usually wet it first but if not I do it as i go. I usually like to do section by section as I move towards the door to avoid getting the cement under my feet and walking it on my dropsheets lol. I'm a bit of a clean freak.

      Thank you🙏 I would put a chrome U chanel over it then the glass for frameless , if you're getting a framed shower screen that should just go over it but if you're going to cut it off to put a frameless shower screen hard to the floor, in Australia you have to now have a 25 mil step down or something like that it's a new code. But what people are still doing is they clut the angle flush with the tiles and you centre the glass over the angle so you don't see it

    Do you need to install Reinforcing Fabric to all the joists and corners? We install fibreglass on top of the bond breaker to all of our joist and corner as that’s how we did it 10-15 years ago. I watched many videos people don’t tape joist and corner with Reinforcing Fabric/fibreglass anymore. will there be any harm If we choose to stick Reinforcing Fabric or fibreglass to all the joist and corner?

      Depends on the waterproofing you use, now days they don't recommend to use it incase it tears. There is other types of bandage that you can use for example gripset elastoproof or similar but see what the manufacturer of the brand you are using recommends. I use k10 plus by davco I just put neutral cure silicon to all internal corners then waterproof on-top of it and I have never had a failure. I have had a few clients who are worried bugs, thats when I add in the bandage with the rubber in the middle for there peice of mind.

      @@Jaxtiling1 I'm also using k10 plus by Davco. 15-20 years ago we used dampfix (when there wasn't k10 plus) and it required fibreglass bandage. That's why I' have been using fibreglass in our corners. But I watched Davco and your videos doesn't use fibreglass bandage made me worry if I do more harm than good by adding fibreglass. I tried elastic bandage by Gribset but Im not familiar with it so I want back to fibreglass. I never have a problem with the fibreglass also hence I'm worrying not having it.

      @@Jaxtiling1 from what I understand… By adding fibreglass and expansion rod it is classified as ‘class I or class ll’ waterproofing. And by using sealant without and bandages it considered as ‘class lll’ which is has more flexibility. But I been worried about not having fibreglass in the corners. But I will try the method in your video thanks to your expectations

      Hahahaha that's what I used to use as well dampfix, the good old days. If you use fibreglass or that bandage one of the reps told me they walont warranty the products if something happened. If you do get movement because fibreglass isn't flexible it can just tear that's why they don't recommend it anymore. I still use it to cover big holes.

      @Jaxtiling1 Місяць тому

      Thank you very much. You can do either way shouldn't really matter. But if you prime first the silicone should bond better, primer bites into the wall and and helps bind any dust giving the silicone a better adhesion

    That is not accurate. This is geometric theory. When you set a herringbone pattern, the space between the pieces counts too. If you have a 3mm joint, you will have this 3mm taking its place, and the laser measure will let you know that you will have to share them, and the laser will not be in the middle of both columns, only in one, the center of the other col will be 3mm to the left, o 3mm to the right, depends on which column center you set the laser.
