💥Waterproofing System Comparison💥
Its a question I get all the time, "Which is the best waterproofing method out there for a tile shower?"
It comes down to 3 main factors:
Availability (Can I pick it up now & get to work 😄)
Time of Installation (if you are a contractor, time is money)
Price/Budget
Foam board is no doubt the easiest & fastest system to install
Especially the sealant application type systems
Not all are price friendly though...
Kerdi board for instance can cost upwards of $80 a sheet!

Foam boards like WEDI can be quite costly too!

Hydro-Blok Foam Board is pretty much an identical type of product as WEDI

One of my favorite foam boards is Go Board - bit.ly/48gdL40
Readily available
Fast & Easy

Most sealant application type systems can be installed easily in a couple of hours 👊
Another popular method is sheet membranes like Schluter Kerdi
This method becomes very cost effective if you use drywall as a backer board 👍

GURU Membrane is a very similar membrane product
Biggest issue about membrane application is the mess.....Its not a very fun method to apply
Then you can't forget about a traditional method with cement board 👍
This has been a method used for decades
For a tutorial on installing cement board check out this section of the Home Office Bathroom Course - bit.ly/47iDBDX
Cement board is not waterproof on its own though
A liquid waterproofing must be applied to be waterproof
Ardex 8+9 is one of my favorite liquid membranes
Check out this section of the Basement Bathroom Course for tutorial on Ardex 8+9 - bit.ly/47iDBDX
Redgard is probably the most popular liquid membrane used over cement board
I would argue primarily for its availability

I've tried topical and kerdi membrane and foam boards I prefer foam board over them all because light weight and no dust cutting the board

Whats the white material you used for the 1st cement board clip? I'm doing my bathroom and decided cement board was the best choice and now wanna make sure its water proof besides jus sealing the seams..

@RodrigoSilva-ys7zp Месяц назад

Sikaflex from Sika is the best selant

@shesuniversal38 5 месяцев назад

My tile goes up from the tub, to 41". If I want to tile all the way to the ceiling, do I need to bust out the upper walls and apply insulation and cement board?

Floor and Décor has Sentinel 4'x8' boards for $55 or 36"x60" for $25 compared to Schluter and twice the price. My cost for GoBoard is the same as for the Sentinel. To me, it is all dollars and cents.

Yes it is 👍 I recently learned that, didn’t realize the foam has the same qualities as Wedi

Most people prefer the foam board for light weight and convenience, but that aside - which one is better? Foam boards or cements board with waterproofing membranes?

@billsnyder6945 6 месяцев назад

I haven’t seen you install a tile redi system. Have you done any and what are you thoughts? They seem bulletproof where it counts.

@matthewrick 9 месяцев назад

Red guard gets a lot of hate. Have you compared it with the other big membrane products like hydro ban or aqua defense? Do you have an opinion on the various membrane systems? For a novice like myself they seem affordable and forgiving, but I could be overlooking a cheaper board system.

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher 9 месяцев назад

I have not created a video on the differences. But I definitely have the opinion that hydroban is a much better product My opinion on liquid membranes from best to good: Ardex 8+9 Hydroban Aqua defense That being said, I’d choose a foam board like go board or hydro blok over any other system. Overall the easiest fastest method 👍

@BonBon770 9 месяцев назад

The equivalent for hydrovan or aqua defense is ardex S1K. Not 8 +9, But 8 + 9 is good.

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher 9 месяцев назад

@@BonBon770 I’d argue 8+9 being better

@BonBon770 9 месяцев назад

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher I agree, but it's 2 different materials. S1K is equivalent to aqua defense. Or hydro ban.... Which are straight liquid water proofing, just like red guard. 8 + 9 is a mixture of 2 things. More like an epoxy.

@jamescolton1085 5 месяцев назад

Have you considered or used 100% silicone roof paint as a liquid membrane substrate? Why would you select or avoid it?

@kyleaguiar3413 Месяц назад

I can't imagine it would spread very easily or uniformly, and aside from that I don't think thinset would adhere to it properly

@sevendust07660 9 месяцев назад

Hi Steve, would you say Aqua Defense if better than Red Guard or are they pretty much the same?

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher 9 месяцев назад

It’s not a whole lot better, but I would choose over Redgard 👍

@kurtismoeller1512 9 месяцев назад

I stopped adjust my methods because the client can’t afford them. There’s to many jobs out there and they can use someone else. I use to aquadefense everything until I used Wedi. Then I realized I was breathing that shit in all day. As far as the membranes go. I only use Wedi subliner dry with 620 because there’s an actual waterproof sealant used not just thinset that will definitely wick.

@kurtpearson2793 9 месяцев назад

My friend, please upgrade your screws on the go board. They make coated “GoBoard” screws that have a big flat top that is less inclined to countersink. They are great to use and covers their requirements for install.

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher 9 месяцев назад

Yeah this was an older go board installation. And the are not required btw 👍
