Questions & Answers

My shed has an interior plywood floor. Can this product be used on it, or is there something else I should do first or after installing it?

As far as I know, I have only used this behind tile coverings. I don't think this product would be suitable for flooring use. This product will not work as well as just using a good floor paint that would adhere better than this product does.

Do you think this will work on sheetrock?

However, you should use cement backerboard in any place that might be wet. Laticrete is designed to waterproof, so in such an area, use cement backerboard. Tiles should be mounted on backboard rather than sheetrock, since sheetrock is not strong enough to hold them.

Do the products have a shelf life and will they last for a couple of years? Hopefully, I won't need to use them up quickly. ?

It's okay to keep it up to a couple of A tight cover should be used.

Selected User Reviews For Laticrete Hydro Barrier (3 1/2 Gallon)

In a 16 square foot shower, I usually use two and a half gallons, but we have to apply five coats as we prepare and waterproof the walls and floors
5/5

A multiple-coat application would certainly provide adequate coverage for 90 to 100 square feet ( two coats if necessary).

I love this product as long as it is applied correctly
5/5

I used this product as my first time using it. Previously, I used Hydro Ban and Redgard. I used it with Kerdi Drain on shower walls and mortar bed pans as well as in conjunction with Hydro Ban. There is a much quicker drying time with this than Hydro Ban, and the finished job is obviously better except that the fabric needs to be used around the In order to properly flood test elastomeric coatings, you must let them dry completely between coats, otherwise you will end up with layers built up that are not cured in between and end up blistering when water is put on them. The best thing to do is wait at least 24 hours Also, you should allow the mortar bed to cure for at least 2 weeks before using it. It will also blister and peel if you apply it over a mortar bed with too much moisture. As long as this product is used correctly, it is excellent at waterproofing the.

There was a problem with the shipping at Laticrete
5/5

When I read the reviews on this product, I was hesitant to order it because when it arrived, the cover would crack and spill some product. Nevertheless, I took the chance and bought it after tilemasterga on YouTube recommended As soon as I ran out of Laticrete, I ordered another container, which came in today, As it appears this time, Laticrete actually got your message and the product was double boxed with packing material stuffed into the containers and there were no issues with leakage. The manufacturer should be commended for attending to the problem and fixing it because the product in general is good and I endorse.

For DIY waterproofing, this is a great product
5/5

The fabric along with the Laticrete fabric were used to waterproof boxes, seams, corners, and penetrations prior to installing solid surface in the Dense Shield shower. Watch a video on YouTube on waterproofing shower boxes and you will learn all you need to know. It can be easily cleaned with water before it dries, but you will have to peel it off after it dries. Therefore, make sure you wear gloves and keep an extra bucket of water on hand in order to clean your tools regularly.

I like the way things are going
3/5

I am using my first waterproofer for the first time. In the process of building my shower, I intend to buy this. Furthermore, I purchased the waterproof membrane for using on all corners and I used a paintbrush in the corners and a roller for the walls to apply the product very easily. You'll need to apply at least two coats and probably four coats to the joints, etc. Whether this product will really hold up over time has yet to be determined.

I believe that this is similar to the Redgard at Home Depot
5/5

The viscosity and adhesion of the coating seem to be similar to Redgard from Home Depot, but the gallon cost is higher. I find it harder to identify when it's dry because the blue color makes it look wet. color of the Redgard differs more between the wet and dry state. Considering spending the extra money on it, but not sure if it's worth it.

The waterproofing material is very convenient to use, and it's equally easy to clean up as well
5/5

The waterproofing material is very convenient to use, and it's equally easy to clean up as well. Tar is a much better alternative than this. I think it was also a really good idea to use waterproof fabric to cover all the joints. On the waterproofing fabric, we put one coat, and then we add another two There's no reason to doubt that it will still hold up in the future.

I not only used it in my shower but also used it around my bathtub to isolate cracks and waterproof it
5/5

It was easy to use and was much cheaper than redguard.
