Great work & finish! I used 'Nuance' boards on my shower 3 yrs ago. Easy to clean and far less chance of water penetrating through tiles etc which had happened on previous bathroom.

Just a tip, also need to do an Insulation resistance test between live and neutral to earth on the unrolled mat cable, after the continuity test, to check that the heating cables are not shorting to earth or damaged from the factory. Had a job once where a trowel had cut a mat, after all the tiles were down and it tripped the RCD and nothing could be done to fix it

Good content as per usual. I find it interesting that you don’t use the corner trims. I always do but tend to put a small bead of silicone down the flat and internal edge and the bottom where it meets the tray or bath, but like you have always seen potential for leaks👍🏻

Great video again.. was tgat yoir work van in the back ground??

Bathroom coming along nicely, was wondering if your floor had been badly out of level would you have just used more tile adhesive. Also when laying the heating mat why does it matter if it goes under the toilet or vanity unit, is it because it damaged by fixings. Look forward to seeing it all done.

How do you ensure the insulation is level? Do you tap the grout down if it's not?

👍👍👍. Thank you

​@@TheDIYGuy1 thanks, we're in the process of a full reno of the bathroom either way (as it was 30 years old and falling apart!).. I just want to make sure the contractors are doing a top job!

I haven't seen these panels up close but they do look good, and quick to install. I do worry about maintenance though. When my bath needs resealing I can scrape the old silicone out with little fear of damaging the tiles. How do you think this would compare with these boards? Also if silicone has failed on tiles, water may get behind but won't damage the tiles. With this WHEN the silicone fails, will it blow the plywood? I assume fixing to them is easy though as they are ply based. 😅

You’d need to be a little more careful scraping them. Fixing too them is pretty easy for light stuff like roll holders etc

How did you power the UFH? Was it a spur from the ring main or did it go back to the consumer unit?

It’s powered by a 13a fused spur from a double socket on the landing which is part of a ring.

@@TheDIYGuy1 Quick question, do you think the bottom trim for the panels sitting on the bathtub or shower tray, are just gimmicks and not worth installing? I've actually been looking at shower panels and saw that the warranty is void if you don't install them the way they say you should.

@TheDIYGuy1

2 күн бұрын

Personally I think they are a waste of time. If the board is sealed correctly they make no difference. Just my opinion 👍

@diddywright6165

Күн бұрын

I’ve fitted lots of shower panels and never use the seals either, I’ve been to bathrooms where that system has been used and found blown boards as a result. On trays and baths I will lay a bead of clear silicone where the board meets the surface so it squishes out, clean off the excess and then seal again when everything is installed.

Thermosphere 👍

No floor waste to minimise any excess water that goes on the tiles. A level floor allows any water to flow out of the bathroom. The floor then needs to be sloped to the waste drain. The required slope is dependent on the local standards.

No Problem, you didn’t film that part and noting water just being safe than sorry

I used similar aqua boards. I used the internal corner trim. But not the bath trim and regret it, the beauty of using the trim is that the silicon seal is behind the trim therefore when it starts to go yellow it’s hidden.

I really don think it's wise to 'bury' a timber floor under tiles, if you ever need to access underneath for whatever reason, say a leak/ plumbing or wiring etc, you're well and truly screwed.

Heighth is a word.

You have just lost a fair old chunk out ur bathroom putting board up pal?

You can't really level up the floor backing boards, the flexible adhesive is spread at a constant thickness. Plus there is no point, as you poured self levelling compound on top of the jacko boards. For people who have never done this, I would have pointed out that the bathroom floor will now have a small step/height difference from the room outside (obvious, but some people don't think of this). As for the shower/wall panels. I would recommend Bushboard Nuance boards (not cheap though), they use a polymer 100% water resistant core. Virtually every other brand utilise a wooden core which can suffer if exposed to water/leaks. You can get solid PVC panels, but these are thin and are more of a budget panels and only really suitable for smooth/straight walls. You should have mentioned leaving a gap at the bottom of the wall panels against the floor/tray/bath. This is to allow for the sealant to accommodate any movement (as per most manufacturers instruction).

Episode 3 Spoiler : He does indeed finish and to top it off he learns how to pronounce adhesive.
