Tiling inside a shower enclosure ........

[AnnT]

Hi all - I've looked through the forum and have seen loads of useful suggestions, but would still like some help, please. The bathroom has stud walls with green moisture resistant panels, and I am having a quadrant shower fitted in the corner. I have marble mosaic tiles for inside the enclosure, which have been sealed once and will be sealed once or twice again. The adhesive and grout are both moisture resistant.

The plan was to seal off the boards with UniBond waterproof PVA, however I've just read that the Granfix adhesive I've bought suggests Granfix wetroom system. Question then - will PVA be as good as the Granfix stuff, and will it affect adhesion? Or does anyone know of something more effective?

the shower/wet area i would advise you tank this with a wall tanking membrane...dura/homelux/kerdi..etc

AS FOR THE uniBOMB PVA...thats NO..NO..use an acrylic based primer..bal apd or mapei PRIMER G..or an SBR follow mfr for mix ratio..

mosiac..make sure you use a mosaic fix ADHESIVE(white) and the correct notched trowel

sorry prime boards first..
