I have a shower in my basement with concrete floor and cement board surrounding it. Is this product all i will need? Hydro ban vs. hydro barrier?

Bought Hydro ban and some fiberglass sheets for corners and joints [a roll about 6" wide] Embedded the fiberglass in position with the Hydro ban , then another coat after the first one dried. No problems

Only on the shower floor, it says not to get on metal. I bought Grout Sensation shower and wall cleaner for my shower. Its safe for metal and glass, I love it.

I don't believe you need this if you are just using the shower. I bought 2 diverters because of the way this is listed. I believe that I returned this part.

I used a premixed thin set on the hydro barrier I applied to the concrete Hardyboard. It sticks very well. Here is one of a series of good links on how to do it. Note this guy does not recommend glueing tiles in a wet environment. While more work, concrete board last longer. It is very important to waterproof thoroughly. When I removed the old tile/wall board I found an ant "Garden of Eden" behind it. Very important to cut off their water. http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_457202&feature=iv&src_vid=xmzEKU4YLpk&v=D1-v070N0WI

Hardwood flooring is not suitable for below grade (basement) application. So if the hardwood is being installed above grade, over an existing plywood subfloor, then nail or glue it down. No moisture barrier is required. This product provides both thermal insulating and moisture barrier protection for use over basement or concrete slab floors. It would be possible to install a floating hardwood floor where the joints are glues together over this underlayment - but only on a slab foundation at grade level. For an above grade floor installation, you would want the heat from the home to transfer through the floor level in the home and not insulate against it.

You shouldn't need anything other than possibly a nipple for the shower connection going into the wall. You have to see how big your pipe is in the wall. But if you have the usual sized pipes, you shouldn't need any additional material.

You could use it on a concrete shower floor and it would seal the floor. However this stuff pretty much disappears when it dries and would not give you a finished look. There are resin coatings which give a nice finish and also seal out moisture.

I used it on the floor and the cinder-block walls.I don't know if it provides a seal, because efflorescence comes right through. I used Behrs 'basement & masonry waterproofer' from Home Depot (in US). Tinted it to the light beige(from white) and I'm very happy with it on the basement walls now.

the barrier is completely flexible but wouldn't it be more ideal to have a catch pan under the water heater ?. Think of the barrier as a cloth tube filled with super absorbent material that's used in disposable diapers as that's what it essentially is. Can also be reused after its soaked if you take the time to let it dry out.

I bought it for the cushioning but mostly for being a moisture barrier for a single story slab home . If you plan on installing your new flooring on a second story or higher, or on a pier and beam foundation, a lot depends on your sub floor. Call the company. It isn't labeled as a sound proofing product and there might be a better product for your purpose.

Not a flooring expert - however I can tell you no, this is not meant for cement. You can research this by searching for "wood flooring installation guidelines" put out by the people that make flooring. Wood products installed over cement require a true vapor barrier. A seal. This product is more of a membrane that allows moisture to pass through slowly. There is an expensive adhesive that forms a vapor barrier, and otherwise I think people use plastic.

Lyle, Im building a new home, I used a concrete form wall called superior walls as my foundation. Before I had the foundation backfilled, I coated the entire outside wall with the product. I used it as a sealant for my basement. I have heard nothing but good things and trusted it on my own home. I am a builder and would recommend this to my customers. Bobby

The recommended backer board is gypsum from Schluter but I am using combination of both Hardie backer and gypsum. Both are mold and water resistance. I used four feet high of cement board and then four feet of mold resistance gypsum board

No, this is only a cleaner. You will need other products for waterproofing. Unfortunately I can't recommend anything as I haven't used any waterproofers myself.

This is flooring, not shower tile. You need the correct backing for a shower that is waterproof, then you would put tile over it. This product itself is waterproof, but it's just a floor tile. Water would get in around the edges of it. Talk to a tile professional for more info on products that would work on showers.

Hydro barrier is made to go on like paint and should work well for what you plan to do. I'm not so sure the purple wallboard is a good choice for tile backer. You should use a cement board like Durock or Hardy Backer.

Use a fiberglass floor. You won't have to worry about leaks and regrouting in the future. Also much easier to install the drain.
