Building a new wetroom on a boat - tanking questions
I'm about to retire to a narrowboat and spend my days sailing around England's canal network. First major job is a new wetroom (for disability reasons), and construction on a boat is very similar to the stud work in American houses. The distance from the drain hole under the shower tray isn't an issue because narrowboats use a pump called a whalegulper and a connecting pipe or sump tank. The rest of the construction is tile backer board (I've been pointed at Wedi Board) and tanking - this is where I have questions. I've seen approaches like this which completely paints the wet area in waterproof membrane, and others which seem to cover only the joints. What's the best approach and what pitfalls do I need to be aware of? submitted by /u/epsilona01 [link] [comments]
