Just watched this video over and over, 👍 read the comments 😄😁😆😅🤣😂 that'll teach ya. And i subscribed. Inherited a 45 yr old house I'm completely changing the floor plan, this includes 3 bathrooms 🤪 so I'm researching all the new codes and methods. Can't afford thousands of dollars to pay a waterproofer, 6:52 3 bathrooms and a toilet. The only claim to fame i have is i used to be a mechanic and i fitted showerscreens for 15 years, so i saw A LOT of crap going on there. Just need knowledge. Or a shit load of money.
Ah, you gotta love the logic. That's it. Seal off the floor wall junction to stop a water leak from entering the bathroom floor. Send it all down into the wall instead! That keeps everything safe and protects against costly damage!
Good video. I used the self-adhesive Butyl tape recently on my laundry and will be using it in my shower reno. The tape is elastic so it will deal with any wall movements in the future which is great to reduce potential cracking/tearing
Great work Guys! It is phenomenal, and Your Methods are Soon To Be ‘The Standards’ in the USA Building Market as well. Unfortunately, at this time a Vast Majority of so-called Professional Plumbers, Tilers, and Bathroom/Shower Renovation & Remodeling Contractors are extremely expensive, yet REMAIN under educated ALSO demonstrate their widespread Under-Performing Work Experience which shows up in the final product. These Fools bemoan any sort of improvement in construction method, refuse to employ them, and never Innovate like they should. It actually quite often turns into an argument just to have them do the job to basic A.N.S.I Standards. It’s ridiculous here. However, there is huge home owner, manufacturer, and a regulations movement to have all of our bathroom & wet areas prepared in the same or similar manner as Standard Practice in next few years. Thanks for the educational content. Cheers!
Great Video. It would be handy if you could update the description with the details of all products used on this job. I am newstarter to this industry. Going to do Cert III in Waterproofing. Should I also consider Cert III in Tiling or is there sufficient work available for people with waterproofing skills
Do you tiling cert too. Then you know the trade properly. You might get to see what tilers don't like water proofers doing and then improve your water proofing to suit. Happy days mate.
Gripset are the only company that teaches the right way to waterproof wet areas and how to recess for the run off into puddle flanges. I learnt from my experience of doing my own bathroom the Gripset way. Good work Gripset👍
When doing my waterproofing qualification - I was taught that no plasterboard setting compound should be used anywhere the waterproofing membrane is to be installed. The reason for this is that the setting compound will re-emulsify and turn to slop when it comes into contact with the primer or membrane - this will stop the primer & waterproof membrane from adhering properly. In this video, you can clearly see the difference in the set joins on the wall before and after the primer is installed. The topcoat has been broken down by the primer and turned to slop. Much better to leave all the wet areas with bare plasterboard/villaboard and let your waterproofer seal all the sheet joins, niches, internal/external corners with a flexible sealant.
Yep same here, and I would NEVER use Aquacheck in a shower recess, villaboard all day every day in shower recess, I use the gripset tapes as shown here, they are the best stuff since sliced bread.
@@Monsieur405 Because it's an inferior product to use in a shower recess, the fixing methods are different to villaboard, if a small lead does appear the aquacheck will soak up the leak leading to more extensive damage, villaboard is designed to cope with getting wet if a leak appears, I have seen damage to aquacheck by either lazy plumber, or tiler doing damage to membrane that caused expensive repairs, I will stick to villaboard for any of my jobs as it works for the life of the bathroom, only dodgy builders use Aquachek in shower recess and yellow tongue on the floor in bathrooms.
@@-PORK-CHOP- That's actually an old myth, when the product first came out 20+ years ago it had a few issues. The wetstop board by Boarl (which is used here) is actually more water resistant than the villaboard. Check out the previous video in this play list with our plasterboard sheeting where this is demonstrated. BTW I thought the same thing as you until I was shown otherwise.
@@Monsieur405 Agree, both products have there pros and cons but the wetstop board is actually more water resistant than villaboard as demonstrated in the previous video to this one.
G'day, It's 2023 now and I've noticed through watching Australian inspections getting done on TH-cam that they are saying internal corners require a 12mm curve as per Australian standards.
What is the standard industry way for applying the waterproofing - over or under the screed. You have gone under here but can that lead to permanently wet concrete/screed and a damp smell?
Either way is acceptable. More and more builders are opting for over AND under the screed. If only doing one though, over the screed is generally considered to be better than under, because the screed/bed doesn't stay damp. But most builders/tilers will do under only because it is faster.
Wow!! Is that true that we need for a diffe3rent membrane type for just plastic puddle flanges, please? I`ve never heard this before! All what I know is... we need to use a special primer for plastic surfaces to enhance bonding to w/proof membrane. And, as I see, no every single manufacturer has such special membrane for plastic :)
It would be white sikaflex pro (polyurathane caulk) Im pretty sure. aus.sika.com/en/construction/sealants-adhesives/expansion-perimeterjoints/4649.html
Gripset say, that particular tape (Butyl tape) is already considered to be an adequate waterproof layer. So no need to go over it again with the liquid membrane.
That was good mate. I haven't had much to do with waterproofing so interesting. Plenty of painting involved might suit me. The young bloke sure put a flood coat of sealer on. Is it a PVC type sealer like bondcrete?
Yes it is. And yes way to much applied. They must be getting an hourly rate and not paying for the product. 🤣 a little over the top but they won't ever have a problem. The butynol tape is not cheap and good system if you can find people to pay for it.

what about a rendered brick wall on concrete slab, are all the edge tapes still required if the wall is render and sits on the concrete?

Thank you for your infomative viedeo
Hello
Do you have to achieve a 12mm cove with that product?
I seem to get mixed opinions.
Great work guys
AS3740?
Would if liked a zoom I on the water stop and how it works as it seems alot of failures occur due to this....
G'day,
It's 2023 now and I've noticed through watching Australian inspections getting done on TH-cam that they are saying internal corners require a 12mm curve as per Australian standards.
its looking good from far, but far from good
Only 12mm cove where not bandage applied or no bond breaker
So are these bathrooms being waterproofed both under and also on top of the screed??
I only hear crickets, I would say only under screed......
What is the standard industry way for applying the waterproofing - over or under the screed. You have gone under here but can that lead to permanently wet concrete/screed and a damp smell?
Either way is acceptable. More and more builders are opting for over AND under the screed.
If only doing one though, over the screed is generally considered to be better than under, because the screed/bed doesn't stay damp. But most builders/tilers will do under only because it is faster.
If there is no fall in the slab, you should at least tank above the screed, no? Otherwise under and over?
Hi. I was just wondering, upto what height is recommended for walls in WC and Powder room?
At 6.25 minutes in butle tape is used on floor wall junction, and thereafter jointband is used. So why was the butle tape used at 6.25 minutes in?
The exposed wood?
Wow!! Is that true that we need for a diffe3rent membrane type for just plastic puddle flanges, please? I`ve never heard this before! All what I know is... we need to use a special primer for plastic surfaces to enhance bonding to w/proof membrane. And, as I see, no every single manufacturer has such special membrane for plastic :)

Your welcome 👍
Nicely done, what was in the tube gun when installing the tile door metal strip? (@13.23)
It would be white sikaflex pro (polyurathane caulk) Im pretty sure. aus.sika.com/en/construction/sealants-adhesives/expansion-perimeterjoints/4649.html
No, it's Gripset SB. It's an MS polymer sealant. (Completely different to polyurethane sealant).
What type of primer can use on sand n cement Bedding please
Great programme,the only problem is that you have everything on the floor and cannot see it
I have decided to use this system. Is there a reason for not applying the membrane over the tape around the window?
Gripset say, that particular tape (Butyl tape) is already considered to be an adequate waterproof layer. So no need to go over it again with the liquid membrane.
If builders have already installed vanities, door jams, arcs etc what do we do then?
Doors and achs would need to be cut at the base at finished tile height, vanity should be removed
@@OurBuild yeah as if
Walk away
@@OurBuild above tile height, then seal?
That was good mate. I haven't had much to do with waterproofing so interesting. Plenty of painting involved might suit me. The young bloke sure put a flood coat of sealer on. Is it a PVC type sealer like bondcrete?

If a tile bed needs to be laid for floor fall is it done before or after this water proofing step?
Waterproof under the tile bed
@@getsmart5844 So the tile bed can just soak up all the Water? Wrong and not correct anymore according to the New NCC.
Shouldn’t waterproof unless there’s fall.
I bet you laid the second layer over those dusty foot prints. Edit: yip, ya did.
Can you use the tape over the waterproofing membrane? Not a tradie here Just a DIYer
Yep once its dry 👍
@@OurBuild thanks 😂
The young fulla doesn’t mind loading up the primer. Bloody hell !!
🤣
😂 to be fair the buckets of the gp primer last ages, maybe not if you’re using it to flood test though
what about bedding!
What about water stops ?
@@tonytransit2247 Did you want the entire video?
@@OurBuild why not
I've never seen someone use aqua check in the actual shower, strange
Old video I know but you cant go over plaster.
Your using the wrong plasterboard. Needs to be aqualine for bathrooms not standard plasterboard
@@Navsingh-s7m It's wet area board, not standard.
i do not love the back ground music....
0:58 You need knee pads for this job.
agreed 😁
Nice product , maybe some of that tape can keep that young blokes shorts up over his underpants
🤣🤣🤣
No 12 mm transition, non-compliant gotta rip out the whole thing out.
(Joke)
Where’s the water stop angle at doorway and shower recess?
The shower tray slab is recessed 50mm down and a door angle is installed.
@@OurBuild 50mm? that should allow heaps of water to soak into the Screed over the next few years...
