      I've heard good things about the Schluter system. It is supposedly quite user-friendly. But the price, for a plastic product, is far far far too high. Unreasonably high. Bring the price down and maybe I'd be interested.

      I'm using this same system but I'm also using a Schluter preslopped shower pan. My wood subfloor is a little out of wack/uneven. I called Schluter and they told me NOT to use self leveler but to use cement board on the shower floor to even it out before installing the pan. I would install the cement board as if I were tiling the floor. So I would burn the thinset in and then trowel to place the cement board down. Then trowel the top of the cement board to place my foam pan. But Schluter has an excellent tech team you can call at any time if you don't want to guess at things.

      Waterproofing with any type of red guard voids the Schluter warranty. But I'm installing the same way he is and once I get the Kerdi up and my foam Kerdi shower pan down... I'm going over the entire shower with Aquadefense! All these companies have great technical call lines with great answers as well FYI.

  • @AnthonyClark177
    @AnthonyClark177 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thanks for this very helpful clip. I read some experts who strongly suggest that we don’t put waterproof membranes between cement board and the tiles; just apply thin set. So, I was wondering if the direct application of the tiles on the cement board is another approach for all tiles installation or an approach to deal only with ceiling tiles.
    Thanks

    • @HomeRepairTutor
      @HomeRepairTutor  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would always use some type of waterproofing on cement board. Here’s why, showers produce water and vapor. And it’s the vapor that can easily create mold inside shower walls. KERDI membrane or liquid membranes reduce the flow of vapor into the stud walls. So I use waterproofing on the walls for that reason

    Some of my studs are greater than 16" apart but I have a chunk of plywood horizontally that will add extra support in the middle a bit. Some studs are closer than 16".

    Hi Jeff, love all your videos. You are a fantastic presenter! Does that thin set wick water the same way the Schluter banding wicks water when using thinset to adhere it? I was watching the Tile Coach's videos and that seemed to be a big issue. Can you please share your thoughts on that? Do you have a thin set that you recommend to prevent that wicking? Thank you.

    • @HomeRepairTutor
      @HomeRepairTutor  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you and I'd be happy to address those concerns. Also, I'm not paid by Schluter or any waterproofing company. I just like Schluter products because they work and the technical support is the best - I do custom installations and lean on them a lot!!
      Here's how Schluter's system works: thin-set bonds to the fleece on the shower tray and to the KERDI-BAND. The thin-set has to be mixed to the correct consistency and applied with the appropriate trowel. For example, Schluter ALL-SET has specific directions for how much water to use for membranes like KERDI or KERDI-BAND. Use that those mixing directions. Then apply the thin-set with the KERDI trowel held at a 45-degree angle, this maximizes the trowel notch. Immediately embed the KERDI-BAND or KERDI into the substrate and express just enough thin-set from the banding or KERDI to make it flat.
      Over time, thin-set crystals will grow and anchor into both sides of the fleece, e.g. on the shower tray and KERDI-BAND. Those crystals will physically prevent water molecules from penetrating the bond.
      I cannot vouch for the type of thin-set Tile Coach used or how he mixed it or his water ratio. Keep in mind, his experiment is a N = 1. Meaning, it's one sample. In real world experimentations (my background is chemistry) a sample size of 1 is not a meaningful number. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, just objective.
      If you more questions I'd be happy to answer them here or via email at jeff@homerepairtutor.com

    I always add horizontal blocking between studs were the two sheets will meet and the bottom when using Duroc. It's very breakable and brittle and most of the time it's already lost its structural integrity before you even install it. Even though technically it doesn't add any structural integrity according to building inspectors. But you know what I mean, it gets all floppy. Don't get me wrong I think it's still a good product but needs reinforcement. It won't wick like Hardi and it's not foam. (My overkilling self won't let me use foam). When installed correctly with taping, mudding and waterproofing I think it's a better overall system. But I certainly don't claim to know everything just my opinion.

      Screws will fail only if continuously wet. They'll then slowly rust over the years and fail. But if your walls are continuously wet you have much, much bigger problems.

    I’d bet that 90% of newly built houses are using drywall screws to hold up the backer board.

    You need to be careful and watch out for cement board with oily surfaces. Sometimes waterproofing won’t stick because of this.

    Why would anyone use cement board when you can use GoBoard or Sentinal? So much easier and by the time you add the cost of waterproofing to the cement board, the foam boards are about the same cost.

    Badly ventilated cavities behind bathroom walls. Exactly what you should AVOID creating. Fill them with something resitant to water. Do not just assume your waterprrofing will be perfect for many decades.

    If you wear a mask while cutting cement board, your viewers will have a visual memory of that. So they’ll be more likely to remember their mask when preparing to work. You’re saying “wear a mask,” but you’re not modeling it.

    Tant qu'à moi, ces panneaux sont inutile dans une chambre de bain et même pour une chambre d'eau car ils absorbent l'eau et de plus, il faut mettre un polymère pour les rendre hydrofuges. C'est ridicule quand les panneaux de gyproc hydrofuge coûtent bien moins cher que cette mer..de.

    I won't use cement board. It's too porous. Green board with a rubberized coatings applied correctly if far superior. Also in this day in age doing tile is ridiculous when there are PVC systems with any finish you want and no grout. Grout sucks. The really good stuff is not available to consumer DIYers like me.

      My biggest mistake? Going with Durock backboard for walls! It's only me, it's heavy and hard to work with! Your right. I've watched soooo many videos and should have gone with the Green board! Especially with all the good waterproofing that is out there now.
