r/Tile on Reddit: Opinions on liquid water proofing vs water proofing membranes

October 24, 2023 -

Hello,

I’m just curious if there are perceived pros and cons between using liquid waterproofing and water proof membranes. My first impression is that liquid water proofing seems easier to apply and also eliminates any concerns with seams between membrane sheets. On the other hand, membranes eliminate the possibility of pin holes in the water proofing that could occur with liquid water proofing. Do you guys have more experience with each of them. Which do you prefer?

Tile coach has some pretty great videos where he tests the waterproofness of foam board vs membrane and membrane wins (albeit, marginally). The membrane waterproofing is thicker than the felt that comes preinstalled on the kerdi board. With all the requisite seam/corner/screw taping, I feel great peace of mind using membrane over concrete board, and it’s cheaper. However, for the ease of installation and ability to wet shim, kerdi board is a great option, it’s just very $$. For professionals who are trying to move quickly and save time, I think foam board is a great option. However for a DIY bathroom, you’re going to be going slow anyways, so why not save your money and get the best shot at waterproofing correctly (I emphasize correctly because there is a lot of room for error while installing your own membrane, so do your research). Remember, get the air bubbles out with a drywall knife, but don’t push all the thinset out, have the right trowel size, and overlap seams by 2”!

Neither. Personally I use kerdi board most of the time. I'd try another brand if it was easier for me to get. I love that I can wet shim the boards. I love that I can carry an entire shower's worth of wall board in one load. I can cut them with no mess. Etc etc. Overall just a huge step up from cement board.

Best Shower Waterproofing System 2021

There really is no consensus. You're going to find people that insist that kerdi ( either applied fabric membrane over a drywall substrate or the Kerdi boards) is the only way to go and you're going to find people that insist that a membrane such as red guard applied over cement board is the best way to go. I'm a contractor that does many bathroom remodels. And I've used all three of the systems. My personal preference is the red guard applied over cement board. That is how I have been doing showers for many years. I've never had an issue and that's what I'm comfortable with and what I know. And after doing several cost breakdowns between all of the systems I do find that method to be the least expensive which helps lower my cost and maximize my profits. However the other systems are just as effective and work well. My suggestion to you would be to use whatever you feel like will be the easiest for you to work with. More on reddit.com

What is proper shower water proofing?

The green board is mildew/mold resistant, it's not waterproof. Should have minimum put the redgard on everything. Personally, I always do cement board followed by redgard for shower and bath tiling More on reddit.com
