Concrete
Ensure the surface is clean, dry & free from dust, grease
oil etc
Once clean, prime the whole area including 75mm up
the wall from the floor with supplied tanking primer.
Apply with paint brush or roller (do not allow over
application eg puddling).
Allow primer to dry approx 21/2 hours
The area is now ready to install tanking boards
Timber boards subfloor preparation
Ensure the floorboards are stable and well fixed.
All floorboards need to be firmly secured by screwing
both edges to joists as shown in fig 1

(be careful not to hit hidden pipes and electric cables)
Once secured any high spot must be planed off to
ensure a flat smooth surface.
Once clean, prime the whole area including 75mm up
the wall from the floor with supplied tanking primer.
Apply with paint brush or roller (do not allow over
application or puddling).
If unsure of floorboard suitability we recommend
floorboards are removed and replaced with 22mm
moisture resistant chipboard screwed to joists and PVA
glued along tongue and groove. Alternatively overlay
the floorboards with plywood.
Sheet timber (chipboard, plywood etc)
subfloor preparation
Ensure there is no movement in the subfloor.
Once clean, prime the whole area including 75mm up
the wall from the floor with supplied tanking primer.
Apply with paint brush or roller (do not allow over
application eg puddling).
Allow primer to dry approx 21/2 hours
The area is now ready to install tanking boards
Please note
If unsure of timber subfloor
rigidity it may require overlaying with plywood 6mm, 9mm, 12mm
or 18mm
depending on movement which will then require
screwing at 150mm centres to secure. |
