I just found the answer to my question in the previous posts. So the answer is yes you apply your thin set over the Hydro Ban and install the tile. Excellent thanks for this video and actually all the other videos you have uploaded.

@@cieslaolsztyn8266 Concrete remains porous and not very water proof when dry. Special mixes and techniques are used when concrete has to be waterproof, like in a dam. The motarbed is not water proof either. When you shower water penetrates the grout, goes into the motarbed and down the drain.

@ryankramer Ай бұрын

@@cieslaolsztyn8266 Not true. In those installs (If done right) underneath those drypack installations is supposed to be something like a 40 mil water proof membrane that diverts water to weeping holes in the drain. That's the old-fashioned way. (Not needed for installs done like THIS video though.) As others have said, concrete is porous and wicks moisture.

I've used this exact waterproofing method for the last three showers with a curb and a sloped dry pack pan. I have also used the curb overlay that Laticrete offers. Basically it sits over 3 two by fours. I noticed that after the first coat you may see pin holes in the corners etc.. The second coat or third coat will cover and fill all the pin holes. Then a 48 hour water test and then I'll use Ardex 5 thinset with the tile. Great video!

We use a lot of liquid applied membranes in Australia Isaac. This method is similar to what we do here, however we generally caulk in a fillet/bead of sealant on all internal corners prior to applying the liquid membrane (or sometimes a special bandage is used), this acts as a "bond breaker" allowing the liquid membrane to release and move Independently of the fillet/bead in areas of movement (eg at a wall to floor junction, or where 2 different substrates meet etc). We can also speed up the installation process by applying a water based epoxy primer over the bed the day after it has been installed, this epoxy coat acts as a "moisture/vapour barrier" allowing you work over the moist bed the next day, then you apply your liquid membrane the day after that. (No waiting 3 days for the bed to dry).

It isn't a tip so much as a requirement for most (all?) class 3 membranes, to have a bond breaker at all joints and including over any screw holes. Apperently using the fibreglass reinforcing tape with a class 3 reduces it to a class 1 membrane as it can no longer flex as designed. Also check requirements as most require a primer for proper adhesion... enjoy

Well, I've already learned several things. I bought and applied the Red Guard....so fingers crossed. I've only applied 1 gal....which did not cover my entire shower and walls. Our shower is 60"x36" with a slab floor circa 1967, and the drain is less than 8" from the wall. I already put another layer of Sand Mix and graded by using a laser at the perimeter. The grade is approximately 1" to the top of the Oatey 3 part drain. So here's hoping I pick enuf info from your videos. Thanks for the time you do making the videos. I hope my own home job will be a success...never done tile. House framing, yes, with lots of experience. My real conconcern is transition to the level sides of drain using my wife's selection of 1'x2' tiles coming in at an angle with the 60" grade slope.... again, this could be a fail in the making....

I like to use two coats on it and the u just put liquid membrane on the screw heads only. This should save you some. But to answer you question yes it can be done like you said.

This is not the right way to do a shower pan install by any means there’s so many things he did wrong and that are against code where do I start? No pre-pitch under that shower membrane so when water leaks through to the shower membrane, it’ll sit there in puddles instead of being escorted to the shower drain, weep holes like it is designed to do Then he screwed holes in the shower pan membrane below curb level, with his dry pack for beginners idea. which is again a no-no and then finally putting the expensive ass roll-on membrane on top of the dry pack, which is counterintuitive to what it’s supposed to be doing. The whole job is wrong from start to finish people that make these videos on KZbin. I think they just pick a niche read up on it and think they’re a professional when in fact, giving false and very bad information that could potentially cause major leak and major damage to your home where is his license, because if he had one, he would know all this very dangerous to listen to people like this call a professional you get what you pay for remember

@bradh9800 Жыл бұрын

@@StephenMcDonough-eg5nm With all due respect, you are way behind the times in shower pan technology. There is no pre-slope because using Hydro ban prevents water from ever getting down to the dry pack. And a flow FX drain doesn't even have weep holes. He drilled holes when making the slope because the membrane went over top of the holes in the form of Hydro ban. I would suggest that you put a little time into researching some of these new techniques. They would save you a lot of effort and headache.

Yeah, it will show me the code book where it says that that’s allowed just because you say it is doesn’t make it true why even put a shower pan and if that’s the case what do you need a shower pan for if that’s so great I’m gonna go with. It’s not as a plumber for a zero entry shower that means with no curb. You’re allowed to make a pen from the red guard but in that situation, you still have to pre pitch it. and do a water test for your inspection which I’m sure that what you’re doing you don’t pull permits or have inspections done because you know more than everyone else good luck again nothing personal I just don’t think you should be giving advice that’s not correct especially like I said before screwing screws below the curve line into the shower pan why would you do that? You have to know that that’s against code and not just against code was just wrong and every which way OK good luck take care.

Can you do a demonstration of how these liquid membranes can stretch after they have set. Say painting over a crack between two cement boards and then pulling them apart after they have set??? These surface membranes may be a very good second waterproof barrier that keeps the majority of the water out of the mortar bed. Then if dampness happens in the mortar bed, then the smells will not be a problem in the room, as the source is below the top membrane. Should a leak form then it will need to get around 2 waterproof barriers and the volume of water would be extreme small as the water rapidly runs off the floor tiles. Love your work.

I'm not exactly sure if I understand but I'd like to chime in. While there is always some movement (extremely minimal), your question boils down to your substrate. If there's movement in the substrate do not start a tile project as wall board, waterproofing and even drypack is not meant to provide structural strength. As long as your substrate is structurally sound and your wall board is installed correctly your waterproofing will be sound. It all starts with the substrate. Tape ALL of your seams and corners (also where your drypack meets the wall board) with the appropriate mesh tape and thinset, then roll away with your membrane.

Thicker membrane can stretch much more than thin membrane, Stretching a membrane causes it to thin, as it elongates across the future crack in the structure. so a 1 mill membrane can stretch 3 mill, but a 0.3 mill membrane can stretch only 1 mill before tearing. I think the...tiler from Australia, David Otway, has a good point. The flexible filler in the corners creates more room to move for the membrane.

I don't believe the method described in this video is approved by the NTCA. The correct method on a wood floor is, cementitious sand mix add sparing water to hold shape when squeezed in hand, 3/4" @ drain, sloped up 1/4" per ft to walls with NO low spots that can puddle water, Let Dry. Install pan liner per manufacturer instructions, finish with the final sand mix, maintaining 1/4" per foot slope, let dry, then tile as per NTCA. (plenty of videos on the process.) Many people believe tile is water proof, It's NOT. The area behind tile in a shower needs to be waterproofed to keep water inside the area and down INTO the pan liner.

I have my 1 son 20 years old, he kind of paying bills to keep my head above water and my other son is 17 he does most of the chores as I can't even bend over and get back up. God Idk how you do it to tile your always on your knees. I(competed internationally in ju-jit su and kickboxing and my knees are destroyed, I even lifted weights for years and ran b/c I was police for 5 years, so my legs I kept in very good shape. But I know your in great shape but I hope you knees are good, as you do such amazing and professional work. Great video as always!

How about also using the Laticrete Waterproofing Membrane 6" for the corners and along the perimeter? I've seen people doing that. Or is it not recommended if you don't have cracks greater than 1/8"? I am about to use the same waterproofing on my mortar bed but now I question the usefulness of the corner membrane.

The hydroban literature from hydroban states a clamp style drain must be used. Is there an updated document that says this drain attachment method is approved?

Whats your favorite shower system? I was taught with oatey pvc liner for the pan over pre slope mortar bed, then a second bed of mortar. Concrete board on walls that goes over the liner, backer seams done with tape and thinset, then redgard on walls. It doesnt seem like a bad system, but its time consuming with all the drying time. I've done a few online courses for Wedi and Kerdi, do you use one of these normally? I want to try one of them out for a shower I'm doing but I'm not sure which, leaning Kerdi. As always, your videos are great, keep up the good work.

Hey, I've been binge watching your videos, they're awesome! I paid someone to build a shower for me, but noticed the tile was crooked, so I got a second opinion on the work and discovered that the entire build was done incorrectly and would have leaked everywhere :( Now I'm trying to figure out if I can save some money and do it correctly all by myself...but I have a question that I never hear people talk about in videos like this... What is the correct way to dispose of the wastewater and excess material? The guys I hired poured red guard wash water into my front yard, that doesn't seem like the right way to dispose of it, but pouring it down the city drain seems wrong too, so I'm wondering how do professionals clean their tools and dispose of waste water in a responsible way? Thank you from Austin, TX!

Deck mud, sheet membrane on the field, fabric tape with hydroban around the perimeter, and then just paint the whole thing for the heck of it. This way you don't have to wait for the mud bed to dry and you don't have to mess with those bands and corner pieces or folding corners with sheet membrane.

I did this method over a foam pan and it blistered badly during the water test. I had to tear it all up and use sheet membrane. Followed the directions exactly. Two coats at proper mil thickness checked with a gauge. Temperature at 60 degrees and humidity at 50% controlled by a dehumidifier. I let the hydroban turn colors and then waited another 24 hours before applying the second coat. Did the same wait after the second before water testing. Blistered after about 24 hours into the 48 water test. Laticrete was no help. Search online turned up several results of this happening to others.

This looks so easy, why do people chose to use a membrane fabric over this method? Seems to me this works well, easier to apply and cheaper. Also, could you use this method first and then for pre caution use fabric tape membrane in the corners and seems? Or the other way around use fabric membrane on seems then use this liquid over the top?

@nickbarrett-miller2120 3 ай бұрын

I think professional tile installers can put up a membrane even faster and you don't need to worry about making a layer that is a particular thickness because it's a sheet.

Big fan of this channel. However, I have recently watched a number of videos detailing how it is a bad idea to have the backer board go down into the dry pack shower base.

If you're using the old water in, water out method, then it can be a potential issue, since the pan is getting wet. But with these newer methods, it's not a problem. Since it's a completely sealed system, the shower pan and walls never see any water (if waterproofed entirely obviously), so letting your wall board touch the pan is no issue.

I've got a large 36"x72" shower and would like to save a little $$. Both products are water-based, therefore should be compatible. Good idea?

It's double the price... 1 gallon of redguard/aqua defense is $50, hydroban is $100 here in Houston TX... I bought the 5 gallon bucket for around $385, used up almost the whole bucket on 2 showers, 2 thick coats. Had about 2 inches left at the bottom of the bucket.
