Yep - will be tiled over . Like you I worry about the brass side leaking not the Hep2o !! . I’ll do it and be damned ! . Spend the rest of my life worrying about a Schrödinger's leak ...... Only way to answer the question years from now will be to smash the tile and backer board out to look at a bone dry connection - then explain to my wife the years of stress it caused - the not knowing ! . Before anyone suggests I’m not going to put some glazing over the fitting so I can watch it !!!

Most expensive trade, you’ve had.
Pocster replied to Russell griffiths's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
I had one guy on site . Messed up the measurements for some custom walk on glazing . Cost me £3.5k - F ‘ ing idiot ! -
Hole for ensuite waste . Mock up of what I intend . JTM plumbing ( no I don’ t work for them ! Used them before ! ) , are brilliant ! Explain my dumbness - tell them what I am trying to achieve and they send me a parts list - top service !!

Hmmmm, mine will never be accessible!
-
Agree ! Its one of those things that keeps YOU awake - but when everyone else starts using the bathroom they don’t even notice !!
-
Ah yes ! Thanks . I think that’s what I need . Just maybe my hep20 pipe is long enough . ?
-
Bum . Cistern cold feed not quite long enough !!! Because I moved WC ? . Don’t want a join - but I think have no choice !!
-
Think this seems ok for the feed . Just need to work out what Hep2o fittings goes to this thread ...

@bassanclan ; also the sink unit ( already purchased ) is a wall mount so no pedestal . Assume , as you’ll see more floor - will give the illusion of a wider gap . As I said I can move the sink along but there’s a vanity unit which is 1.2m long - sink obviously centre of that . Too much towards the window though and I’ll encroach on the free standing bath ...
-
Put the cistern in place . Funny really I built a double stud wall to ‘relieve’ noise from the bathroom . Now I’ve moved the geberit into the wall there’s no sound insulation behind it !! Time to sort out how the water feed to cistern is done
-
Yes ; I thought the same ! Funny isn’t it - you can see the real width - but you kind of see the ply which then fools you . Actual corner to corner distance is about 58cm . I allowed a ‘bit’ of play for the sink as shower tray once purchased is a fixed thing - so can probably creep a few cm away from the shower . I’ll punt my luck on the 1200 x 900 tray ?
-
Sink box on left . Shower rectangle on right . As I said I have been a bit greedy and increased shower tray from 1200 x 800 to 1200 x 900 - so I could gain 100 mm Shower will have a full glass screen to that edge
-
I think I had a mix - because somethings couldn’t be done in certain ranges . I’ll dig out the spec I had once at home .
-
So ! Re jigged the layout Increasing shower tray to 1200 x 900 ; pinch point over 60cm Sink now on the wall instead . Sink unit 100cm long , depth approx 40 cm Tried to simulate the gaps . Think this is ok

A messy site is a busy site ... ?
-
True . Just the thought of a non continuous grout line I.e potential leak ...
-
I did find a YouTube video where you just stick cardboard between the 2 colours - grout one ; then do the other . But is there a microscopic gap between grout colours ????
-
Mira mode maxim !!! ????

I’ve done grouting before but this keeps me awake ? Suppose in a wet area like a shower you have white grout on most the tiles but a vertical row of Grey tiles that really require Grey grout between them . If I grout white on the others ; let it go off ; then grout grey I will have admittedly a hair line crack surely from white grout to grey grout . My assumption being I need a continuous grout line to be water proof ( or it’s my ocd ) Secondly on the floor tiles . I have expansion trims . Meant to go in door ways . But if a grout line doesn’t end naturally in that place I’m not going to split a tile just to introduce an expansion grout line ( it would look terrible ) . Do they have to be in the doorway ? or can they just be introduced where the nearest next grout line would naturally appear ??? Must stop thinking about tiling !!! ??

Then I may need the magic Welsh stud to assist me !

Hey Resurrect away ! ? I had 2 big triple glazed sliders . 5 ‘normal’ triple glazed units . Had to chase a lot once ordered and there were some mistakes in units - too be fair they did sort them . I do suggest you visit the showroom- arrange a visit though . Take plans etc. I’m happy with what we have .
