I have a 35 year old house and I have remodeled everything with the exception of the bathrooms. I removed a 3rd bathroom that went unused, and converted it into a walk-in closet for my wife. I am going to remodel both remaining bathrooms, and they are situated adjacent to each other between the three bedrooms. Both have tile floors with water plumbed underneath to warm the floors in the winter. Both have tile about half way up the walls. The master BR bathroom is the one I am going to do first, I would like to finish it quickly as I have some spare time for the next month, so I plan of doing it starting tomorrow.
The bathroom in question is small, it has a small cabinet with one sink, a toilet, and a tile shower. When I removed the other bathroom, the shower in it had a type of (lead?) liner that protected the house structure from water damage. I am assuming this shower will have the same thing. No big deal, I'm going to rip everything out this weekend. I plan on re-tiling the entire bathroom floor, lower half of the walls, and the entire shower, as it was previously. I learned how to cut and lay tile, grout tile, and everything else involved when I tiled my kitchen a couple years ago.
My questions are concerning the membrane to put under the shower tile to prevent water leakage, and what type of system to put under the tile to warm the tile in the winter. Hopefully someone can get me up to speed on there two issues.
Thanks in advance!
