Fantastic video that not only goes over the options, but shows the install. Best video I’ve found thus far.

Thank God for this dude my own boss won't even show me any of these things he thinks I am going to take his work away

You have the wrong boss.

Great video! Thank you for your experience

I've tried topical and kerdi membrane and foam boards I prefer foam board over them all because light weight and no dust cutting the board

Really good info 👍🏾

Steve. Thoughts on Laticrete Hyrdoban system?

Whats the white material you used for the 1st cement board clip? I'm doing my bathroom and decided cement board was the best choice and now wanna make sure its water proof besides jus sealing the seams..

I haven’t seen you install a tile redi system. Have you done any and what are you thoughts? They seem bulletproof where it counts.

My tile goes up from the tub, to 41". If I want to tile all the way to the ceiling, do I need to bust out the upper walls and apply insulation and cement board?

Most people prefer the foam board for light weight and convenience, but that aside - which one is better? Foam boards or cements board with waterproofing membranes?

Have you considered or used 100% silicone roof paint as a liquid membrane substrate? Why would you select or avoid it?

What’s that white stuff over cement board at 4:15?

Hi Steve, would you say Aqua Defense if better than Red Guard or are they pretty much the same?

It’s not a whole lot better, but I would choose over Redgard 👍

Red guard gets a lot of hate. Have you compared it with the other big membrane products like hydro ban or aqua defense? Do you have an opinion on the various membrane systems? For a novice like myself they seem affordable and forgiving, but I could be overlooking a cheaper board system.

I have not created a video on the differences. But I definitely have the opinion that hydroban is a much better product My opinion on liquid membranes from best to good: Ardex 8+9 Hydroban Aqua defense That being said, I’d choose a foam board like go board or hydro blok over any other system. Overall the easiest fastest method 👍

The equivalent for hydrovan or aqua defense is ardex S1K. Not 8 +9, But 8 + 9 is good.

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher I agree, but it's 2 different materials. S1K is equivalent to aqua defense. Or hydro ban.... Which are straight liquid water proofing, just like red guard. 8 + 9 is a mixture of 2 things. More like an epoxy.

Which method lasts the longest?

I was under the impression GoBoard was waterproof all the way through also.

Yes it is 👍 I recently learned that, didn’t realize the foam has the same qualities as Wedi

Anyone float fat mud anymore?

@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher gotcha! I didn’t see the shorts!

I stopped adjust my methods because the client can’t afford them. There’s to many jobs out there and they can use someone else. I use to aquadefense everything until I used Wedi. Then I realized I was breathing that shit in all day. As far as the membranes go. I only use Wedi subliner dry with 620 because there’s an actual waterproof sealant used not just thinset that will definitely wick.

My friend, please upgrade your screws on the go board. They make coated “GoBoard” screws that have a big flat top that is less inclined to countersink. They are great to use and covers their requirements for install.
