Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jun 19, 2020 9:49 pm Hi I was quoted close to $5k to upgrade our ensuite and bathroom to floor to ceiling tiling and when I asked why it was almost the same price as the 600x600 porcelain rectified tiling to the entire house I was told it was because it’s a different price/sqm and because they need to water proof the entire walls. I like the thought of them water proofing the entire wall because we have a cavity slider into the ensuite, and when I look at the installation instructions it shows the whole wall waterproofed. See pic below. My question is: is it standard for builders to water proof the entire wall when tiling to the ceiling? I’m worried that they might just do the standard floor water proofing.

Unless you have a bath aswell in which case roughly 300mm above the bath needs to be waterproofed also.

If you look at the pic above, they recommend the entire wall of the cavity slider to be water proofed as well.

Re: Water Proofing for Floor to Ceiling Tiling? 5Jun 20, 2020 7:19 pm Sounds fair and reasonable from a costing. What are they rectifying that is the same cost?
