    As someone who's renovating every room in my house it's nice to have some variation on the channel and it's re-assuring to see X77 being used here as I'm renovating my bathroom in 4 weeks time using the same adhesive. It will be my first time tiling and I'll be using some of the carpentry techniques you've taught me, story sticks, scribing etc. it's all been so useful, thanks again Robin!

    No wonder you're excited about it Robin. The whole project is awesome and the pool looks very inviting. I hope you and your family get lots of enjoyment from it. Well deserved.

    I met Vince at the Ardex Academy in Haverhill a couple of months ago when I attended a BAL training day. He was really knowledgeable and a great guy. I'd highly recommend their training days. The one I went to was arranged through Tile & Stone (Norwich) and everyone (including really experienced tilers) all left with more knowledge at the end of the day. It was well organised and I learned loads. Well done Robin for highlighting best practise and doing the job properly. Cheers, Mat from Norfolk

    Very informative , what is the main reason for using a trowel applied cement based mortar type pool waterproofing in this project rather than just brushing a two component elastic cementitous slurry.This detail may seem very useless but main practice is generally brushing an elastic slurry as it has all the features needed for this job.

    I would like to see something about reducing the echo in there, that would drive me mad. You can install various things to absorb and reflect sound waves to cancel them out.

    Tiny comment. The echoes in the pool meant I couldn't hear and follow the words until I swapped to highish quality in-ear buds. Then, I realised the volume was OK, but the clarity wasn't. Living and learning about audio as well as building!

    Would be great advice if it wasn’t coming from someone selling their own product 👍 I’m sure there’s other brands out there that are fine

    • @ukconstruction
      @ukconstruction  9 місяців тому +1

      I had to choose a tried and trusted brand for my project, Ardex provided me with much advice and guidance from way back when I was planning the build, I had approached other brands but they did not have the same support so that is why I used them

  • @grrinc
    @grrinc Рік тому +1

    Looks great, but Ardex pot lifes and opening times are nonsense. I had to abandon using their products because I was throwing away half the product and losing money. Technical support where useless. Gone back to my old brand. Cheaper, but reliable times.

      @grrinc Рік тому +1

      @@lhfloors Yes agreed, ambient conditions can tilt times in either direction. I compensate and adjust accordingly, but in the UK we rarely drift out of the sweet spots.
      Right now, I'm back to Rocatex c2te slow for walls. Bucket life is superb and has great texture. I can happily mix entire bags and relax if I'm bogged down with cuts.
      Edit.. I even purchased Ardexs own birdcage mixer to replace my helix style. So I did try!!

      Salmonella can cause illness through contaminated pool water, chlorine correctly dosed will kill the bacteria its one of about 5 germs that can affect pools
