Wetroom System To calculate the Roman Shield tanking coverage 9 Easy Steps to Installing a Wetroom Total area to be tanked = a + b + c. a&b = showering area (floor to ceiling coverage.] Note: Tanking for the showering area should be applied 100mm past the showering area walls into the splash zone. (E.g.0.9x0.9m showering area = tanking wall to ceiling: 1 x 1 m). c = floor coverage * the entire floor should be tanked with a turn up ofO. 1m onto the walls. Example (showering area 0.9 x 0.9m, room height of 2m and floor size 2m x 2m). a = 1x2 = 2m2 b = 1x2 = 2m2 c=2x2=4m2 Total area to be tanked = 8.0m2* * The entire floor area should be tanked with a turn up ofO. 1m onto the walls - you will need to allow extra in your calculation for this. Roman Shield requirement: Based on the above calculation one RSH01 - Roman tanking kit will be required covering 10m2. Note: The Roman Shield tape is supplied in a 15m roll and is used to seal all wall to wall and wall to floor joints as well as screw heads. Calculate how much you will need based on your room size and number of joints to cover. ~"S»^ If you wish to use any optional extras such as the internal corners (RSH02] or external corners (RSH04] please calculate based on your site requirements. ^ The above calculation is for guidance only, coverage of the tanking kit will vary depending on application technique used Iroller/brush] and site conditions etc. Step by Step Installation Guide Step 1 - Supporting the Pre-formed Shower Floor The Roman Shield Pre-formed Shower Floor can be installed directly to joists without additional support, Step 2 - Installing the Pre-formed Shower Floor Step 3 - Preparation The Pre-formed Shower Floor can be trimmed if necessary Ensure all surfaces in the construction area are dry, solid, and is screw fixed to the joists. WBP/Plywood can then be supportive and level, as well as free from oil, grease, dust used to complete the level shower room. and other separating layers. Step 4 - Applying the Primer The entire floor area of the room should be primed with a turn up of 100mm onto the walls. The walls should also be primed floor to ceiling in the showering area and in the splash zone of the shower, normally 100mm past the showering area. (E.g. If your showering area is 1000 x 1000mm prime floor to ceiling 1 100 x 1100mm). The Primer can be applied using a small fur roller, brush or suitable spray gun. The curing time of the primer is a Step 5 - Apply the Roman Outlet Sleeve Apply the self adhesive Roman Outlet Sleeve ensuring it is flat with no raised edges, creases or bubbles. The centre of the outlet sleeve is then removed and the waste trap clamping ring is fixed into position. Step 6 - Apply the Roman Shield Tape, Pipe Sleeves The Roman Shield Tape, Pipe Sleeves and Corners are bedded down using RomanTanking Compound. All wall to wall and wall to floor junctions as well as butt joints and nail or screw heads must be reinforced with the tanking tape. The compound is applied using a medium size paint Ensure the Roman Shield Tape, Pipe Sleeves, Corners and Outlet Sleeve have been fitted to the appropriate areas and wait until the tanking compound is dry. (The curing time for the compound is between 2 - 4 hours). Step 8 - Apply the Roman Tanking Compound The entire floor area of the room should be tanked with a turn up of 100mm onto the walls. The walls should also be tanked floor to ceiling in the showering area and in the splash zone of the shower, normally 100mm past the showering area. (E.g. If your showering area is 1000 x 1000mm tank floor to ceiling 1 100 x 1 100mm). The recommended finished thickness of the tanking compound is a minimum of 1mm, this is usually achieved in 2-3 coats. The tanking compound can be applied using a fur roller and/or a large paint brush. The curing time of the tanking compound is between 2 - 4 hours per coat. Step 9 - Installation Complete You are now ready to start tiling and grouting as normal. To view a short video podcast guide visit www.roman-showers.com.

Wetroom System The Roman Shield Wetroom System - winner of the KBB Readers' Design Award 2009 There are several different ways of constructing a wetroom, there are however some basic principles that must be observed - these are The floor may be screeded, constructed from heavy duty wooden sheets such as plywood, or created using a pre-formed shower floor. In all cases there must be a gradual slope to fall towards an appropriate shower outlet. The structure must be solid, without flexing and any joints in the construction material must be firm and well fitting. The body of the shower outlet...
