- How to install a bathroom bathtub surround using a Dumawall system - DIY
I recently installed a Dumawall system for a client at their bathtub. It was a great install. It took about a day to day and a half to install. most of the wall went up the first day then trim work was the next. The great thing about this system is the interlocking edges with sealant. It makes a seamless system that is low maintenance.
I do not represent Dumawall in any way. This was a install for a client that purchased the Dumawall system for their bathroom.
Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. I hope this helps.
Have a great day!

Hey, great video. I really appreciate you showing us all the little details that make a big difference. Most of the videos just gloss over all kinds of things, but you show these fine details that make the whole thing look professional.
Thank you for your comments. If you are planning to install this system I hope it goes well. Have a great day!!
The work quality is excellent. The bathroom looks very nice. Thank you for posting this video.
Your welcome. and thank you so much. it was the first time installing this system and it was great. They do have edging materials to choose from if needed. My client wanted to use caulking. have a great day!!
Brilliant job mate !! Looking to do my own bathroom and was looking for an installation guide and came across your easy to follow video. Many thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
oh super thank you. I hope your install went well. Have a great day!!
You did a good job!
Hello, Thank you for your comments. Have a great day!
Just about to do around the Bath with the Dumawall and your Tape Tip will come in very handy "Thanks". Great Job.
good to hear thank you for watching. its a really neat system. Have a great day!
@@mountpac4464 I finished my project, with thanks for your video and the great direction :-)
Excellent attitude, excellent job good man, almost wrapping up mine... 2 month complete bathroom gut and remodel with the Dumawall, but I went way overboard on my waterproofing 5+ Waterproofing systems used just to guarantee no water damage issues
Oh wow. That's great. You usually cannot tell if there is a water leak until its really bad. I'm glad to hear your near completion for your project.
How did you waterproof?
Very neat job
Thank you. I also have done this similar system with the marble Dumawall. I'll post that video soon. Have a great day!
@@mountpac4464 : thanks. Can you also list the total cost
That blue tape is a clever idea
Thank you! I hope it helps. Have a great day!
Thank you
😉
Your welcome. I really loved working with this product. Have a great day!
Mmmmm ……. Interesting but I would say it’s more difficult to lay the tile when you use the proper inside corner trims
Does this product have a cushion/underlay on the back like waterproof vinyl floor tiles?
Thanks for posting this! I'll be undertaking a similar installation soon, but will do the shower walls and all areas covered by old blue tile. Do you think that the trim kits (J and/or L trim) could be installed over bullnose trim since it's partially rounded? Thanks for any guidance you could offer!
Hello, I'm not sure because the tile adds 1/4 in to 1/2 in to the face a of a wall. Id have to see what your referring to in order to make a good opinion about the situation. have a great day!
This will change your life.
its a great system and easy to do. have a great day!
Nice job, looks great! What did you use to trim out the edge of the dumawall? Can't really see what you did to the finish off the cut edges, it didn't look like the Dumawall "J trim." Thanks!
the inside corners were just glue and caulking. the outside was a plastic j trim, at the window I used a plastic J trim. Dumawall sells an inside corner trim that matched the color of Dumawall system. also you might be able to use FRP panel edging. I hope this helps. - have a great day!
Excellent video! Thank you! How thick would you say the Dumawall is? 1/8” or a little more? Do you think it would look OK without any end caps? And lastly I’m wondering about how it will hold up after washing with bath tub cleaning supplies? I know some materials tend to start turning yellow and start breaking down after using cleaning supplies on them.
Hello,
I think its about 1/8" thick
I don't think it would look good without the trim pieces.
I recommend looking up the manufacturers recommended cleaning instructions.
I hope this answered your questions.
Have a great day!
@@mountpac4464 Do you think it would look good if the cut end had a nice bead of colored silicone to match?
Great video. Did you do anything for the shower head/spout/valve? Did you have to caulk or silicone that? Thanks in advance.
Also, do you need to place a waterproof membrane on the drywall as well as caulking each piece?
Hello, I didn't add waterproofing in addition to the water resistant drywall. The Dumawall is plastic and the caulking between each tile creates a water tight system. However if you are concerned with water I would recommend installing the roll on waterproofing over the drywall prior to installing the Dumawall system. I hope you project goes well. Have a great day!
Great look! Did you do the install directly on drywall? Doesn't look like backer board.
Hello, Yes I installed it directly onto the water resilient drywall. The Dumawall panels with the caulking at all joint creates a water tight system. Have a great Day!
It's a good system. You should have used the inside corner channel.
Hello, Thank you for your comment. Yes there are inside and j-channel trim available this client wanted a different look though. have a great day!
@@mountpac4464 how did you finish against the celing? did you caulk ?
@@jrr9616 I'll be silicone sealing mine, I'll finally be installing mine this Thursday. I had to go with Palisade because Dumawall doesn't seem to be available in the U.S. anymore.
@@mountpac4464 I do like how you used the roller on the tile after installing it. Never saw that before. Very smart!
This looks like an easy enough project so I started to researched this product and they have no ICC specifications is this even allowed by code? I don't need to spend the money to have an issue. great video very informative.
Hello, thank you for your reply. I installed this for a client. It was a great system, easy to install.
Great demo do you have any detail on how you trimmed the window
Hello, Thank you for asking. I do not. The client had me use a plastic J-trim. I recommend using a Schluter edge trim. I hope this helps. I really like this system. It was about a day to install. Have a great day!
Hello, Unfortunately I do not. Next time I will try to get a close up. I recommend using a Schluter trim at the corners or a niche or window opening.
@@mountpac4464 On the lower sill surface would the Schluter trim keep water from rolling into the drain?
This is probably the only video I saw dealing with a niche type area, any tips ?
Cut them tight and be sure there is waterproofing. sorry for the nonspecifics. Have a great day!!
Great video, you took the time and effort showing details of install. Much credit to you and appreciate the video, Sir. I see you installed at least 11 months ago; how is it holding up and would you use this product again? You did a excellent job, looks great. Thank You
Hello, thank you. I am a general contractor and this was a clients home so I don't have access to the bathroom anymore. Also I am planning to install the product in my hall bath, but haven't done it yet. sorry for not being able to answer your question. Have a great day!!
@@mountpac4464 Thanks for the reply.
Did you tile the inside of the widow first? Then the shower wall. Then finished it off with outside corner trim?
Hello, Thank you for your comment. Yes in this video I did install the Duma wall at the window sill and sides prior to installing the tub surround. Have a great day!
How confident are you in this system in regards to leaking? is the caulk enough to prevent water seepage?
This is my opinion. I think with the caulk as it is applied properly should prevent leaks from happening. But I want to be sure that the caulking is applied with out any gaps in the system. I hope this answers your question. Have a great day!!
How did u do the incline pieces around 10:00. My shower has incline up and wanted to find the easiest way to do it?
Hello, thank you for your comment. I'm not sure I understand. Sorry. Are you referring to the top part of the walls? The tub surround walls are vertical and flat.
I'm considering a Dumawall shower but I have hard well water and I'm concerned that the panels will get iron stains like my old fiberglass surround. Any thoughts on that?
My apologies, I don't know. I recommend asking the manufacturer.
Hi are you using 2 different calking 1 sealer and 1 adheive ? thanks
yes. correct one is a glue the other is a caulking.
hi can i ask what type of adhesive you would recommend as im thinking of doing my bathroom
Hello, I cannot remember the adhesive that was used. It was A strong bond. Also the caulking/sealant was different than the adhesive. I hope this answers your question. Have a great day!
Can that product only be used on the surround or can you apply it to the floor and ceiling as well?
Hello sorry for the late reply. I've been working trying to get more video content. I do not know. I recommend contacting the manufacturer. Have a great day!
It is not suitable for floors.
Can this be installed over durock ?
This is my opinion, I would say yes but the durock is over kill unless its a similar cost as water resistant drywall. I hope your able to get your project done. Have a great day.
