Waterproofing Products for Wet Rooms & Bathrooms

Waterproofing is sometimes referred to as tanking and is an essential part of any wet room or bathroom installation. You can choose to waterproof the shower area of your bathroom, or you can tank the entire room to create a wet room. A wet room is room that is completely waterproofed using waterproof boarding, membranes, and adhesives to form a complete waterproof barrier. Here at Tile Fix Direct we often see people choosing to tank the entire room, making water leaks and damage a thing of the past.

To effectively waterproof a wet room or a tiled bathroom, you'll need to make sure that both the floors and walls are tanked to prevent water getting in. You'll need products like waterproofing membrane, waterproofing coating, waterproofing matting, primer, and waterproof sealing tape. All of these products are available individually, but general waterproofing kits and tanking systems from brands such as BAL and Ardex are also available to make your life even easier.
