Self explanitory, its overkill. A great way to make that company rich, and I'd definitely use it under my deck to shield water off, but I've been doing tile 13 years & never tore out a shower that "failed" to the point I need to put a rubber membrane down...which is basically what that is..normal minor wood rot here & there AFTER a tear out, yes, but even on a 40 year old shower I don't see the issues this product claims to "fix"...as I said, overkill
I guess it comes down to your definition of what's an acceptable level of rot. I don't know any homeowner who would consider even a small amount of rot acceptable. How do you overcome the fact that grout is porous and let's water through?
@smaxwell1963 Hello, you think the homeowner can see the rot ?? Its like saying " I want a clean engine " but the car owner can't see the oil & grease, he just knows the top looks clean. Look, I tear out showers 40+yrs ! The little rot that's there is incidental. Typically the bathrooms I do are 30 plus years & its a renovation, not a failure. During tear out all the bad stuff goes to the dump...your stuff will go to the dump despite the claim it'll last, it still goes, can't take tile off it !
@smaxwell1963 Grout is porus, so ?? It's been used for a LONG time. Vertical walls the grout dries quickly, shower pans are ALWAYS damp, no matter the build method. Using your method doesn't negate a damp pan...period ! The pitch to the drain stops some of it, and the weep holes insures against total saturation. Thats the best you can hope for. So your're prtecting what exactly, the 3/4 ply under it ?? LOL !!
@ smaxwell1963; that material is nice, I like the color. can it be used as decor for the shower as well?

shouldn´t you get the instructors to do video instead of some guy who has "just" been through the course.
