You then cut this flush with the top of the flooring - usually compressed fibro. You do all your wall sheeting and install a metal angle at the door to the finished floor height. Then you use a waterproofing membrane to do all the floor and 200mm up the wall ( 2000mm in the shower area ) tucking the waterproofing compound down into the floor waste 50mm or so. You give this three coats depending on your waterproofing product and then you are ready to tile. If you go to the Hardies website or one of the other big manufacturers , there are usually pdf's to download that show this in more detail. Then you do your sand cement screed and tile over the top with your falls all going to the floor waste. Stewie Cool - I was looking on National Tiles website earlier. There seems to be a lot of conversation around screed on top of or under waterproof membrane. Seems to be common to do it as you say, on top of membrane. Stewie is spot on. That is the best way of doing it. If your smart you can use a strip drain in the shower and fall even the main floor back to it. Because its a long strip you dont have to worry about 4 way falls in the shower area! Its actually very easy to do!

And what colour grout did you use? Re: Horror bathroom 16Feb 27, 2013 6:47 am They came from Archiland building Supplies 02 9740 4989 in Roselands The name of the tile is Sonara Grey. We used grey grout. We also used those tiles as a feature wall in our ensuite. I love the way it looks!

Thanks a lot Re: Horror bathroom 18Mar 18, 2013 10:52 pm CuttingEdgeKitchens ilium007 [ That looks great ! The reason I am looking at pre-formed trays is because I dont have the confidence that I could pull off what you have done. There are professionals that only waterproof. You could put the floor and walls in, then get a pro in to waterproof? This is my upstairs bathrrom with a bit of work still to do. http://i794.photobucket.com/albums/yy230/VTSS350/IMG_1208.jpg that looks like a ascot dolce freestanding bath? how far have you set it from the side and end walls? 100ml? Re: Horror bathroom 20Mar 30, 2013 10:56 pm Hi guys - it's been a little while but I have now purchased all the gear to do this job, vanity, taps, mixes etc. I have come up with this design: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I am going to be using 2 Bemuda tile grates; one in the shower the other in the main part of the ensuite. I am not sure about tiles but I am going to go to Beaumonts next week and have a look at what they have. The thing that I am not sure about is the water stop along (under) the fixed glass pane. I have seen showers where you can see the top of the aluminum strip, but I thought the idea was that the top of the strip sit proud of the tile surface to avoid water getting out. I have also seen this type of shower: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Then there is this waterstop product: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It is marketed as being better than the 'normal' 50mm aluminum angle strip. I am after some ideas on how I do the water proofing in the shower area. I am going to be getting wetseal guys to do the waterproofing but I need some pointers on what I need to get done before they arrive. Has anyone used the Gleda 'Waterstop Streamline' product ? If I do the step down shower (which I am leaning toward) is it just 50mm aluminum angle ? I assume that this angle that would run wall to wall along the edge of the shower recess would be be same as runs across the doorway ? Render your bathroom walls, two opinions versus the one, makes you wonder. 3 6083 Hi Geoff Install Puddle Flange prior to any screed.
