I didn't think for one second that you was wrong, but it would be better to trash Jo on the general discussion page after you'd given your advice, rather than getting involved in a slanging match on the tiling page where folk are seeking friendly advice.
you know we're good Moz.

Moz is right on this one.

Aquapanel, hardibacker etc are not affected by contact with water BUT they will both let water pass into and through them, just pour water on either of them and watch it soak in.

The tanking will also seal the joint between the two different types of wall construction where you will get differential movement.

With the trend to fit high pressur/flowshowers the spec for shower cubicles needs to be higher than for a domestic shower which is basically defined as a shower hose off a mixer tap from a gravity fed system.

You'd better tell Knauf and their 18,000 employees then. They make the stuff and don't know how to use it.

Funny that isn't it? You'd think that somewhere along the line they'd have tested the stuff wouldn't you?

Think of all the legal action that must be in the pipeline because people followed their instructions and flooded their houses.

Come on mate, smell the coffee.

I gave him the advice given on the official Knauf website (makers of Aquapanel).

I guess knauf and their 18,000 emplyees are wrong then?

I'm gonna have to laugh.

Joe show some dignity in the face of defeat.

 

[joe-90]

I've given the official instructions re use. Can't get more right than that.

And if you look in the right place on the Knauf PROFESSIONAL website not the DIY site you will see the use of a "sealing tape" betwen the Aquapanel and tile adhesive when using in wet areas, well joe did say look at the knauf site didn't he

Like I said - this is the OFFICIAL advice from the manufacturer. If you don't like the advice they give then take it up with them - don't shoot me - I'm just the messenger. I only report what the MANUFACTURER puts on the OFFICIAL website.

Go on Jason, tell Knauf and their 18,000 employees that they haven't got a clue.

FRom the Professional Knauf site, see page 16 (14 of 28 ) Details of wet areas, Floor to wall connections

although im tempted to let you dig a bigger hole for yourself joe, you have been warned already. if you have advice to give, then give it. if it is disagreed with the reader can make their own mind up, based on the consensus on the topic. This is NOT the place to carry on petty arguments. If you want to do that get a job in your local pantomine. You wont be warned again
