Easiest Way to Waterproof OVER Dry Pack Shower Pan --- Hydro Ban Liquid Membrane

Sdílet

  • čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
  • The newer technology of surface applied waterproofing membrane for tiled showers allows the installer to waterproof over the dry pack mortar bed as opposed to under it. This alleviates the possibility of a saturated mortar bed and the mold issues that can arise from clogged weep holes or bad pre-slope. When using a surface applied membrane, no pre-slope is needed, saving time and money. Laticrete Hydro Ban is the best liquid applied waterproofing membrane on the market today. Redgard may be cheaper, but it lacks the solids that provide an even thick coat and flexibility.
    Liquid membrane waterproofing is easier to install than sheet membranes like Schluter Kerdi.

The motarbed is not water proof either. When you shower water penetrates the grout, goes into the motarbed and down the drain.

    Well, I've already learned several things. I bought and applied the Red Guard....so fingers crossed. I've only applied 1 gal....which did not cover my entire shower and walls. Our shower is 60"x36" with a slab floor circa 1967, and the drain is less than 8" from the wall. I already put another layer of Sand Mix and graded by using a laser at the perimeter. The grade is approximately 1" to the top of the Oatey 3 part drain. So here's hoping I pick enuf info from your videos. Thanks for the time you do making the videos. I hope my own home job will be a success...never done tile. House framing, yes, with lots of experience. My real conconcern is transition to the level sides of drain using my wife's selection of 1'x2' tiles coming in at an angle with the 60" grade slope.... again, this could be a fail in the making....

      This is not the right way to do a shower pan install by any means there’s so many things he did wrong and that are against code where do I start? No pre-pitch under that shower membrane so when water leaks through to the shower membrane, it’ll sit there in puddles instead of being escorted to the shower drain, weep holes like it is designed to do Then he screwed holes in the shower pan membrane below curb level, with his dry pack for beginners idea. which is again a no-no and then finally putting the expensive ass roll-on membrane on top of the dry pack, which is counterintuitive to what it’s supposed to be doing. The whole job is wrong from start to finish people that make these videos on CZcams. I think they just pick a niche read up on it and think they’re a professional when in fact, giving false and very bad information that could potentially cause major leak and major damage to your home where is his license, because if he had one, he would know all this very dangerous to listen to people like this call a professional you get what you pay for remember

      @bradh9800 Před 7 měsíci

      @@StephenMcDonough-eg5nm With all due respect, you are way behind the times in shower pan technology. There is no pre-slope because using Hydro ban prevents water from ever getting down to the dry pack. And a flow FX drain doesn't even have weep holes. He drilled holes when making the slope because the membrane went over top of the holes in the form of Hydro ban. I would suggest that you put a little time into researching some of these new techniques. They would save you a lot of effort and headache.

    • @StephenMcDonough-eg5nm
      @StephenMcDonough-eg5nm Před 7 měsíci

      Yeah, it will show me the code book where it says that that’s allowed just because you say it is doesn’t make it true why even put a shower pan and if that’s the case what do you need a shower pan for if that’s so great I’m gonna go with. It’s not as a plumber for a zero entry shower that means with no curb. You’re allowed to make a pen from the red guard but in that situation, you still have to pre pitch it. and do a water test for your inspection which I’m sure that what you’re doing you don’t pull permits or have inspections done because you know more than everyone else good luck again nothing personal I just don’t think you should be giving advice that’s not correct especially like I said before screwing screws below the curve line into the shower pan why would you do that? You have to know that that’s against code and not just against code was just wrong and every which way OK good luck take care.

    Fantastic stuff Isaac! You have been the most helpful source for tile DIY I have found - so thank you! Quick question. Would you recommend adding dry pack if the cement floor already has appropriate slope to the drain? Obviously the dry pack serves the water in water out method. Is it necessary when applying the liquid membrane over the tile pan? Can I skip that step and apply the membrane directly to the concrete?

      I think applying the dry pack over existing sloped cement floor is how high is the drain that you are finishing to? If its flush with the cement, then no mud bed would be needed. Just clean the concrete very well and go for it. If you are addind a drain body, then the necessity for a mud bed is obvious. Apply membrane up and over the curb etc.

  • @vzgsxr
    @vzgsxr Před 2 lety +15

    We use a lot of liquid applied membranes in Australia Isaac. This method is similar to what we do here, however we generally caulk in a fillet/bead of sealant on all internal corners prior to applying the liquid membrane (or sometimes a special bandage is used), this acts as a "bond breaker" allowing the liquid membrane to release and move Independently of the fillet/bead in areas of movement (eg at a wall to floor junction, or where 2 different substrates meet etc).
    We can also speed up the installation process by applying a water based epoxy primer over the bed the day after it has been installed, this epoxy coat acts as a "moisture/vapour barrier" allowing you work over the moist bed the next day, then you apply your liquid membrane the day after that. (No waiting 3 days for the bed to dry).

      It isn't a tip so much as a requirement for most (all?) class 3 membranes, to have a bond breaker at all joints and including over any screw holes. Apperently using the fibreglass reinforcing tape with a class 3 reduces it to a class 1 membrane as it can no longer flex as designed. Also check requirements as most require a primer for proper adhesion... enjoy

      Laticrete approves using hydroban without banding in changes of plane with a gap less than 1/8" and seams in hydroban board the same. But I agree the extra sealant underneath like latisil or sika flex or using the Hydroban fabric in the corners is ideal

Do you think is possible and okay to cover it once more with thin-set, another layer of hydro ban and paint it? I was thinking of covering ditra heat with a concrete overla, but am not sure if that is okay to do with the system. Long story short, i'd like to create cement shower pan so that I may stain it and paint it with epoxy. What are your thoughts? Gratitude in advance.

      @@jessicawilkerson9687 the cheaper way of doing it is to use denshield board instead of durarock , green board etc.
      The denshield has rubber on it already, use that at least 6ft high all around then get the fibafuse drywall tape and with hydroban put it on all joints and corners, with painting brush u apply hydro on the joints put the tape on the the joint and continue putting more on top untill u incapsulate the tape in the membrane. I like to use two coats on it and the u just put liquid membrane on the screw heads only. This should save you some.
      But to answer you question yes it can be done like you said. Redguard is not recommended on flat surfaces where water could pool like shower pans, even shower curbs, hydro is a much more superior product as its used in swimming pools as, with all this said you can use redguard to seal the joints on the wall as well just make sure that tape is well covered with the liquid membrane so its protected from the cement.

      No it’s completely a waste of time and money that stuffs not cheap and it should always have a pre-slope underneath the shower pan that’s code just about everywhere I know what that does any water that does it get below the tile grout in dry pack and gets down to the actual shower, remembering itself with that pre-pitch. It takes the water on the pan and runs it down to the drains weep holes which is the way it’s designed purposely to do so with no pre-pitch what I will just sit in a little puddles on the pan and eventually that a crack your dry pack, and your tile

    I have started a curbless shower install at my cottage, and i have since seen your videos about the kerdi failures when it comes to All-set/thinset, the kerdi membranes, capillary action etc. I have zero interest in preserving warranty coverage from any of these companies, my only interest is to build a lasting waterproof system that wont fail.

    Can you do a demonstration of how these liquid membranes can stretch after they have set.
    Say painting over a crack between two cement boards and then pulling them apart after they have set???
    These surface membranes may be a very good second waterproof barrier that keeps the majority of the water out of the mortar bed.
    Then if dampness happens in the mortar bed, then the smells will not be a problem in the room, as the source is below the top membrane.
    Should a leak form then it will need to get around 2 waterproof barriers and the volume of water would be extreme small as the water rapidly runs off the floor tiles.
    Love your work.

      I'm not exactly sure if I understand but I'd like to chime in. While there is always some movement (extremely minimal), your question boils down to your substrate. If there's movement in the substrate do not start a tile project as wall board, waterproofing and even drypack is not meant to provide structural strength. As long as your substrate is structurally sound and your wall board is installed correctly your waterproofing will be sound. It all starts with the substrate. Tape ALL of your seams and corners (also where your drypack meets the wall board) with the appropriate mesh tape and thinset, then roll away with your membrane.

  • @stephenbrickwood1602
    @stephenbrickwood1602 Před 2 lety +1

    Thicker membrane can stretch much more than thin membrane,
    Stretching a membrane causes it to thin, as it elongates across the future crack in the structure.
    so a 1 mill membrane can stretch 3 mill,
    but a 0.3 mill membrane can stretch only 1 mill before tearing.
    I think the...tiler from Australia, David Otway, has a good point.
    The flexible filler in the corners creates more room to move for the membrane.

      I don't believe the method described in this video is approved by the NTCA.
      The correct method on a wood floor is, cementitious sand mix add sparing water to hold shape when squeezed in hand, 3/4" @ drain, sloped up 1/4" per ft to walls with NO low spots that can puddle water, Let Dry. Install pan liner per manufacturer instructions, finish with the final sand mix, maintaining 1/4" per foot slope, let dry, then tile as per NTCA. (plenty of videos on the process.)
      Many people believe tile is water proof, It's NOT. The area behind tile in a shower needs to be waterproofed to keep water inside the area and down INTO the pan liner.
