Hello,
I’m looking to install a new bathroom for the first time and want to make sure I do everything by the book. One area that I’m not getting a lot of clarity on is whether you need to tank the floor area of my bathroom.
I’m having tiles on the walls and luxury vinyl on the floor. I intend to tile onto Wendi/elements backer boards around the bath/shower area. installing the boards down to the floor and butting the bath up to those boards before tiling.
But for the floor I’m not sure what is needed for floating luxury vinyl. I have floorboards currently in the bathroom under vinyl roll. I intend to put a layer of Marine ply on topped with underlay and then the vinyl clicked and floating on top.
Is this sufficient? What about the edges? Do I simply silicone the edges of the room to seal? Or should I tank below the underlay?
I look forward to your responses.
David
