I'm also interested in where the placement for the shower screen would be. Is this meant to be an enclosed shower, where the screen would sit on top of the waterstop?

Too bad, I saw this video after applying SLC on top of liquid DPM and they both reacted and the DPM burst at a few places and came out of SLC layer. The SLC should be dry overnight, but it has been 4 days and the rest of the floor is still little damp at some spots. Any advice, please?

How do you know what size wood to use as a former for the drain base? Do you go a bit bigger than the drains' actual size to allow for shrinkage of the screed, or is it exactly the same size?
@ardexaustralia8 күн бұрын
Ideally if you have the drain system handy this is better to use as a forming guide. If using the actual drain, this should be washed down after removal from the fresh screed installation. Regardless of whether you are using the actual drain or a plank of wood for sizing, it is best to allow for a little extra room. It is much easier to fill voids and lay tiles over the filled voids than having issues with insufficient space (especially once waterproofing is already installed. Generally 10mm extra allowance is all that you should need.

The placement should be measured from the surrounding walls to make things square. Unfortunately we do not go into detail with all aspects of the installation but we appreciate the feedback on what you feel is lacking for our next videos.

I have a similar bathroom to do. My longest fall from wall to strip drain is 1200mm. My fall should be 10mm of fall. This means there will be 10mm of your stop angle exposed inside the shower at the top of the strip drain , how do you finish the edge between tile and stop angle ? Silicon or grout? In your case it should be about 6mm fall.
@ardexaustralia3 ай бұрын
Good question @podden3863 - The minimum thickness of a bonded screed is 15mm. This means the height of the screed at 1.2m will be 30mm to achieve the 1/80 falls for shower areas. ARDEX do not sell the stop angles.

@ardexaustralia3 ай бұрын
Good question @digita1hero - We believe you are referencing the waterstop angle that is protruding up around the sides of the demonstration unit being waterproofed. This is intended to prevent passage of water from within the shower enclosure to the surrounding areas (including potential water travelling through the tile adhesive /screed). We have a number of visual resources that may assist in understanding the waterproofing detailing processes, including the link below showing how to incorporate a shower screen installation: www.ardexaustralia.com/pdf/cad/D23%20-%20SHOWER%20WATER%20STOP%20AND%20COVER%20ANGLE.pdf?_gl=1*bsh86z*_ga*MjAwMjc3MDM0NS4xNTkyMzQ4NDQ4*_ga_5BRGGQSHFH*MTcxNTIyNjQwMC4xMjgxLjEuMTcxNTIyNjQwMC42MC4wLjA.

Hi Ardex, will the STB tape adhere to polyurethane already applied? We have used a universal tile-over shower tray and have poly where the villa board meets the tray as per the installation guidelines. By the way thanks for the great technical sheet on the Universal Shower Trays!
@ardexaustralia3 ай бұрын
If the polyurethane is a paintable one then the STB would stick to it. The concern here is whether or not the polyurethane exhibits plasticiser migration. This is the act of plasticisers within the polyurethane slowly drifting out of the polyurethane throughout the life of the sealant. This can lead to softening of membrane coatings applied on top of the sealant. STB tape will help protect the membrane from directly touching the polyurethane. You're welcome re: the technical datasheets!!

Does the direction of the glue for the wall tiles need to be running vertically so that the water will run between the channels? Thanks
@ardexaustralia3 ай бұрын
Good question @geoffstein3896 - The main thing here is ensuring you are keeping the notches unidirectional. If you fan the adhesive or alter directions there is a greater chance you cannot collapse the notch voids properly and end up with voids. No specific requirement for this one but it is preferable to choose the best direction which will allow proper Tarver method notch collapsing.

@ardexaustralia3 ай бұрын
Good question @ravinvijayakumare - Bonded screeds are generally applied with a bonding slurry coat consisting of a liquid polymer additive (e.g. acrylic or SBR - rubber latex such as ARDEX Abalastic or WPM405) mixed with cement. The bonding slurry is broomed thoroughly over the dry membrane and the mixed wet screed mortar applied over the still wet bonding slurry. The liquid polymer additive is also diluted with water and mixed into the screed mortar.

Glad you like them! The waterstop will generally be covered with the installation of the shower screen or an alternate material. The video does not reach this step of the installation. As for the junction, the use of silicone will allow for a greater mount of movement but this is not necessary. Application of grout in this area is suitable, albeit, if the installation encounters high movement cracks could develop in the more rigid cementitious grout.

Yes the ARDEX STB and STA tape can be used onto a self levelling substrate as long as this is primed first using the ARDEX Multiprime. Like all recommendations before priming you must ensure the substate is clean of all contaminations, including dirts, dust, paint etc. Once cleaned, the ARDEX Multiprime is applied. This is allowed to cure for 30 mins to 1 hour then the ARDEX STB and STA tape can be installed.
