    Kerdi Wicking

    Jadnashua, can you expand on your first point about never having liquid water on kerdi once installed? How does one flood test if there can't be liquid water on the kerdi? I feel maybe I'm not following your comment..? Do you mean "should" like it's unlikely to happen? Or "should" like I...

    Kerdi Wicking

It was suggested I use greenE...

    tiled and heated shower

    Hello again. So...what should have been a straightforward shower install has revealed itself as something totally different. Water damage was bad to say the least. Pics to follow. Enough to say that after pulling out old prefab showed bed, lino, concrete slab with radiant heating, I was able...
