QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is tanking essential even with waterproof grout?
All cementitious grouts are micro-porous. Without a secondary waterproof tanking barrier, water vapour eventually rots stud walls and floor joists.
How long does tanking take to dry?
Liquid membranes require 12–24 hours to cure before tile adhesive can be applied. Sheet membranes can be tiled over almost immediately.
