Hi great video, i would like impey to do a video on how to seal round pipes for showers and taps mounted on the walls. How do you do it ? Is the floor membrane the same as the wall mebrane ? Cheers
Hi We will look to create a quick video on how to get around pipes - keep an eye out for it. If you need advice soon, please contact our Technical Team: 01460 256080 who can help. Yes the membrane can be used for both wall and floor
Hi - any kind of additions or pipe entry points can be addressed with the joint tape as its a bit thinner and very easy to manipulate15/22mm holes can be drilled through it to create a pipe collar or if there is existing pipework a split can be used and slightly bunched upward with same method being used after with the main sheet but moving the split to a slightly different location and then finished with the jointing compound. the good thing about these materials is that the butyl backing stays supple and will reseal and cuts you have to put into it or if you have to drill through it (wall only). If you have any further queries, our Technical team are on hand via phone or email, who'd be happy to provide more information - 01460 256080 technical.support@impeyshowers.com
Yes, however it all depends on the tile + grout weight. Please call our technical team to get a definitive answer on wall loads before commencing > 01460 256080
@@tomkelly500 ah ok. No worries. I appreciate your response matey. I think I will get mine tanked just to be on the safe side. Im getting told i don't need to but for the sake of not so much more in costs i reck its worth it in the long run.
Yes, UFH can be applied to this, a lot of the matt types have a certain amount of tack on them which will adhere to the matting, if you have to cut the back matting to turn the UFH you might have to use a slither of duct tape to hold the turned edge down but that sticks to the membrane as well. Cement based levellers are also compatible with this membrane but do be very careful not to fill in the pre-formed gradient on the former as it needs to maintain a 1:40 gradient.

I've just fitted my Impey Aqua deck, great product and easy to fit! I will be plaster boarding next (using Elements type board), and will then tank with the WaterGuard kit, including the whole floor area of 2.1 x 2.7m. However, I am also fitting the loose cable Prowarm ProGrid+ system as fitted by Roger here (ruclips.net/video/2oqwys3ycKc/видео.html). For this you need to fit the matting down that the cable runs in and I was planning on running this into the shower area - is it OK to fix that matting down on top of the waterguard kit with kst, and then tile on top of the matting? The matting is 6mm so I would need to account for that, plus adhesive, plus tile when setting the drain grate. I did email your tech team a few weeks back with this question but haven't heard back from them.

Yeah, it does seem weird and feels like it should come laminated to the plasterboard. Then again, previously, tiles would be hanging from the paper sheet on the plasterboard and that seemed fine.
Wish this was around 10 years ago. What a great product! I have a leaky wet room and it is a nightmare!

What is the treatment for all the wall protrusions (pipes, cabinet and toilet mountings, toilet and sink soil pipes etc)?

can it hold larger tiles on the wall?

If your still around tom...whats the answer to this question?
@@inamhassan2694 sorry mate, ended up getting a pro in for that. not sure they did any tanking though, tbf.

Could you lay self-adhesive UFH mat over this then apply self leveling cement?
Yes, UFH can be applied to this, a lot of the matt types have a certain amount of tack on them which will adhere to the matting, if you have to cut the back matting to turn the UFH you might have to use a slither of duct tape to hold the turned edge down but that sticks to the membrane as well.

could you use this to damp proof a room?
Hi, this is not tested for such an application so we'd advise not to.

tiles hanging on a protective 1mm sticker??
Hmmmmm .....
Would you like a free WaterGuard sample ?
Yeah, it does seem weird and feels like it should come laminated to the plasterboard. Then again, previously, tiles would be hanging from the paper sheet on the plasterboard and that seemed fine.
