Whether you are building from scratch, remodelling, or repairing your shower you absolutely must give consideration to waterproofing. Waterproofing is crucial to the longevity of your bathroom, and the protection of surrounding structures. Often overlooked, it should certainly be given equal consideration to your tiling and grouting. If the waterproofing isn’t done right, the whole project is in jeopardy.
It is certainly possible to carry out small DIY showerproofing jobs by yourself, and we always encourage people to learn skills for themselves. In the case of shower waterproofing however, the best advice we can give is to engage the services of a team of professionals such as ourselves. It is one area of your bathroom where you simply can’t afford to have any mistakes. An incorrectly applied membrane can cause untold problems down the line.

Applied, or installed directly underneath the tiles in your shower, waterproof membranes aim to prevent water from penetrating and affecting the structure beneath.
The four main types of shower wall and floor membranes are as follows:
Sheet membranes are attached directly to the shower surface and tile-backer board to make them waterproof. They are made of plastic and are applied like giant stickers.
Liquid membranes are easily applied using a paint roller or brush. Once fully dry, the liquid becomes a flexible layer with superb waterproof qualities.
Foam wallboards are used behind the tiles. They create a hard-wearing layer once installed. They also provide extra structural stability in cases where that is particularly advantageous.
These bases are usually supplied in kits. The foam used is quite similar to the ones used in foam wallboards. This offers excellent waterproofing capabilities.
