Initial Planning/Suitability of your floor
Both timber and concrete are suitable substrates for wetrooms.
A wetroom does not have to cover the entire bathroom or bedroom area. It can be restricted to a corner of a bathroom or indeed a corner of a bedroom for an en-suite. A key benefit of our system is the need to waterproof only the 'wet' area reducing costs to a third of normal levels.
Whilst a concrete floor needs only sharp projections removing, timber requires floorboards or chipboard lifting and discarding around the wet area. Lay a perimeter strip of plywood around the underlay as shown in the drawing below, all screwed at 230mm (9") centres, or reinforce the floor by overlaying with 18mm plywood screwed as before
Thinking of wall tiling? Stick a length of carpet tape on the wall and strip it off. If there is paint or plaster stuck to it the tiling will not be safe or secure so apply tile backer board or use our T+G lining panels instead.

How to form the waterproof membrane
- on tbb - simply use flex tape and flex corners on all joints and wall/floor joints
- on plywood - use Granfix tanking liquid, or BSA, MAXO or WOP membranes (see membranes)
It is optional to waterproof the whole floor and walls. It is essential to do the 'wet' area (X-X-X-X) and 150mm - 950mm up the walls.
What sized area should be tanked/waterproofed
To create the 'wet' area simply double the underlay area plus a bit. If the underlay is 1 sq metre, waterproof just 2 - 2.3 sq metres thus keeping costs down. A small step will be formed at the edge of the membrane as follows:
| Liquid membrane | 2mm thickness |
| BSA membrane | 3mm thickness |
| WOP membrane | 0.15mm thickness |
| MAXO membrane | 2.15mm thickness |
| Marmox board (tbb) | 6 - 50mm thickness |
For tiling a 4mm step is easily made up by the tiling adhesive. For vinyl it has to be smooth and level so membrane the whole floor to achieve this. Overlaying the concrete or timber with Marmox tile backer board (tbb) 6, 10 or 20mm thick will form a membrane with joints and edges taped with FLEX tape.
All membranes compatible with all types of underfloor heating (UFH).
