In our new building, a walk-in shower is to be installed, and both the floor and the walls of the shower are to be tiled with broken mosaic. Broken mosaic has a significantly higher grout proportion than "normal" tiles, so I think that the waterproofing of the walls requires more attention than with large tiles.

The floor will be constructed with a "self-sealing," tileable shower board.

How do I best waterproof the transition to the walls and the walls themselves? (Plaster)

With sealing fleece, overlapping the sealing tape between floor and wall?

Hope you can give some tips on this... if I have forgotten any important information, I can gladly provide it.

Regards, Christian

Hello,

Normally, the "Duschboard" from the manufacturer comes with important processing instructions/guidelines. You would find this information there. If it is no longer available, then search on the manufacturer's website or ask the building materials dealer. It is important, however, to use only products approved by the manufacturer, otherwise there can quickly be trouble.

Regards ALMI

Yes, I have already looked at the detailed drawings of a few shower element candidates... but mostly there is little to almost nothing to be found about the walls. - Why should it... it is basically none of the element manufacturer's business.

Hi,

well, the component manufacturers are not directly concerned, but the manufacturers still like to sell the appropriate accessories such as corner hinges or other prefabricated accessories. Besides, nobody would install such a board anymore if it would only cause problems. The company Illbruck, for example, likes to sell such accessories.

Which manufacturer do you have?

Regards ALMI
