ReplyDeleteHello Lars,
DeleteThe students are given numerous instructions and some demonstrations when required. This project is part of stage 3 training.
How do the students prepare things like that to get everything waterproof? Do you use special methods?
ReplyDeleteHello Nils,
ReplyDeleteWe render the walls with a 1:3 ratio cement and washed plasterers sand. allow to dry properly and then we waterproof using a 2 part waterproof membrane.WE then tile with glass mosaics and grout with Bissazza epoxy filgel to make it water tight. Kind regards Enzo
