Mermaid Boards round a tub
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.05 PM
In a completely empty bathroom that is having mermaid boards fitted around the whole room floor to ceiling, what is best practise around the actual tub? Floor to ceiling OR to height of bathtub and why? Thank you

Hello Andy
the bath should already be securely in place and sealed before the panels are installed down on to the bath using 3mm packers at the bottom to allow for the silicone sealant application, the bath should not be installed after against the boards.
Same applies to shower trays
Hope this helps 👍

Yes that's the right way to do it then you will get a tight water seal
