The work you never get to see

Once it is tiled over, the membrane disappears. Here is what it looked like first.

Good waterproofing is invisible. The only time anyone notices it is when it fails. So this page shows the part of the job that matters most, before the tiler covers it for good.

One wet-area, start to finish

Prep, membrane, finish

A real Brisbane bathroom, from bare sheet to a sealed room ready for tiles.

1

Bare fibre-cement sheeting before membrane

Bare substrate

Sheeting fixed and checked. Sound, dry and ready, or it does not get a membrane yet.

2

Membrane being applied to a wall

Corners & junctions

The first coat goes into the spots water finds first: corners, joints and the floor-to-wall line.

3

Full pink membrane across a bathroom

Full membrane

Walls and floor built up to a continuous sealed skin. This is the pink layer that keeps the house dry.

4

Finished tiled glass shower

Tiled & gone

Handed over watertight. The tiler finishes, and the membrane does its job out of sight for good.

Balcony, sealed and tiled

Membrane today, fresh floor tomorrow

This balcony came to us tired and leaking through to the room below. We laid a fresh waterproof membrane, checked the falls and finished it in tile.

Scroll the image to wipe from the wet membrane through to the finished floor.
