On the tiles

We started work on the tiling at the weekend. Nothing particularly eco to note other than the fact that the tiles are perfectly suited to the underfloor heating as they will provide some 'thermal mass'.

The bathroom floor tiles have been laid in an adhesive containing latex to allow some movement, as is necessary partly as they're on a suspended wooden floor but also to accomodate thermal expansion due to the heating. It should've been a straightforward job, but I think our tiredness, and leaving it till fairly late on Sunday got the better of us. Think the end result (minus grout) is good though.

We've now moved on to the ensuite wetroom and have just installed the waterproof membrane . The plumber had installed the Impey wetdeck so all we had to do was install the membrane - after all it looks easy on the video! Whilst it wasn't quite as easy as Impey imply, with a few abortive attempts at the corner detail due to the membrane getting stuck to itself, we soon got the knack and the membrane is now inplace. Tomorrow's job is sorting out the floor tiling which is slightly more challenging than the bathroom as it must be installed on a slope to ensure that the wetroom drains correctly. Our plumber thinks such things are wrong and that showers should include trays but we beg to differ!
