i got a aquadec base, you cut into the floor boards and place the base in so it's flush with the floor. Then i got a roll of a thing called "blanke" which goes on the floor and surrounding walls. I'm stud wall so i think i also have to seal the ply before i put any of this down. Can anyone advise on this?
Have everything more or less ready to go just need to get it in now.

There is lots of different types out there and some cheap.

A good outfit can actually build them quite well into a room using successive layers of ply sloping down towards the waste.

However the made up systems as mentioned above work quite well as the slope is built into them so they only need level fitting.

The downside to wet areas are they require screens that are expensive and if done wrong can be very very expensive to remedy.

The plus sides however outweight the negative imo...

Just get them done right and try get references...prob from the shop your buying the system..

Im never a fan of wet areas upstairs in a standard wooden joists and floorboards set up , to me its just asking for trouble down the line .
I know if done and sealed properly they should be fine , but i just dont like the idea

I agree dispite my advice even with the various decks mistakes can be costly... Very costly.
