Frequently Asked Questions

What waterproofing was used in the shower?

The shower walls were lined with Schluter KERDI-BOARD with every joint and fixing sealed, and a tray former with a linear drain on the floor, all before any tile went down.

Was underfloor heating fitted?

Yes. DITRA-HEAT membrane and heating cable were laid across the open floor. It stops at the shower and goes around the bath, never under them.

Can you do the same in my bathroom?
