Shower Floors - What fall is required by Standard 5May 05, 2010 12:02 pm So, with my values of h=150mm and v=1mm (I will re-measure these values), the results is that my ratio is 1:150, which is waaaay outside the standards ... Even if my h=300 and v=2mm, using x= h/v= 300/2 = 150/1 = 150 (again!!!) Or, should I not actually do the division, rather replace the "/" with ":", which would leave me with 1:150 again!!!!! like here: x= h/v= 300/2 = (replace "/" with ":") = 300:2 = 150:1 My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ...

Shower Floors - What fall is required by Standard 9May 05, 2010 6:25 pm I had already checked the Guide - it seems like there are no clear guidelines there. It firstly talks about "faulty" or "failing" tiling, but fails to define what that is. It mentions "uneven tiling" at the end of the chapter, but it seems to be restricted to grout. The only thing remotely resembling "wavy tiling" is "... joints that re not ... in the same plane". Can that be translated as "wavy tiling"?! My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ...
