New wetroom membrane 100% secure
WOP is a polypropylene membrane that waterproofs and decouples, preventing tile cracking.
The surge in wet rooms may be steadied by two sets of cautions professionals: Plumber and Architects.
Plumbers are hesitant because they don't know where to go for knowledge or training and they would rather screw the shower cubicle into place within half a day and move onto the next job 'I've done this for 20 years I'm not changing now'.
Architects are happy to install on ground floors only but not upper floors.
In both cases these professionals cite leakage to deter customer choice.
Two top quality German membranes with a 20 year history will now settle the issue.
WOP is a polypropylene membrane that waterproofs and decouples, preventing tile cracking.
It is also a tile backer board on a roll, for poor substrates.
Lastogum by BASF is a simple brush - on liquid to tank any pool, bath or wet room.
For the truly cautious use Lastogum over WOP for belt-and-braces security.
Regarding training, it is freely available from Wetroom Innovations.
