FAQs

What is included in the Thermopanel Tanking Kit - Large?

The kit includes a 1kg self-priming waterproof membrane paste, 5 meters of waterproof sealing tape, and 2 internal corner seals.

Can I use this kit on floor joints as well as wall joints?

Yes, this kit is designed for waterproofing joints, edges, and corners on both walls and floors in wet areas.

How long does the waterproof membrane need to cure before tiling?

Curing times can vary. Always refer to the specific instructions provided with the membrane paste for exact curing durations before tiling.

Is this kit suitable for a full wet room tanking application?

This kit is primarily for sealing joints and corners. For full wet room tanking, you may need to combine it with a broader liquid or sheet membrane system according to best practice guidelines.

What kind of surfaces can I apply this kit to?

The kit is compatible with most common bathroom substrates including plasterboard, concrete, and cement board, provided they are clean, dry, and stable.

Can I use this kit in a kitchen environment?

Yes, the kit is ideal for any wet area, including kitchens, to prevent moisture ingress behind tiles, especially around sinks or dishwashers.

Troubleshooting

Waterproofing membrane appears patchy or uneven

Ensure the membrane paste was applied evenly and in sufficient thickness. Apply a second coat if necessary, ensuring full coverage over the tape and corners.

Sealing tape is not adhering properly

Confirm the surface was clean and dry before application. Ensure the membrane paste was applied generously and the tape was pressed firmly into the wet paste.

Water leaks detected after tiling

This indicates a failure in the tanking system. Carefully remove tiles in the affected area, dry thoroughly, and re-apply the tanking system, paying close attention to all joints, corners, and penetrations. Check for any damage to the tape or membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease.
  2. Apply the self-priming waterproof membrane paste evenly to the joints, corners, and edges where the tape will be applied.
  3. While the paste is still wet, embed the Thermopanel waterproof sealing tape firmly into the membrane. Ensure there are no air bubbles or creases.
  4. For internal and external corners, apply the pre-formed corner pieces, embedding them into the membrane paste and ensuring they overlap correctly with the tape.
  5. Apply a second coat of membrane paste over the tape and corner pieces, feathering the edges to ensure a continuous waterproof layer.
  6. Allow the membrane to cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions before tiling.

Compatibility:

This tanking kit is designed to work seamlessly with most standard tile adhesives and waterproofing systems. It is suitable for use on various substrates commonly found in bathrooms and wet rooms, including plasterboard, concrete, and cement board.

Care:

Once the tiles are installed, the waterproof membrane system requires no special care beyond standard bathroom cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the tile grout or sealant.
