Bought this kit on the recommendation of Rodger from SkillBuilder on YouTube. These foam Element boards are so much easier to work with than concrete backer boards. The extra insulation is a bonus too on a cold external wall. After ripping out the old mess of sodden plaster and rotten timber, I have no problem spending the extra for a really good product which I'm confident will give a reliable waterproof surface for many years to come.

Kit looks good however there is very little information about installation except for a few videos, these however don't go in-depth and Abacus haven't been forthcoming with more detailed instructions.

Good Afternoon Ian, Thanks for the feedback on the Elements waterproof kits. While these products are designed for professionals within the trade, hence the moniker "The Professionals Choice". The manufacturer Abacus does supply several DIY-friendly videos with Roger Bisby. Which go on to explain how to use them and include examples of specific installations to help. It's hard to cover every use case given the boards can be used in a multitude of ways. If you can offer some feedback as to what you required for your installation, we could ask about creating a new video that would cover any recurring questions from customers such as yourself. Thanks again Ian, we look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Rubberduck Bathrooms Team

Real pro kit, makes all the difference. Although the floor kit could use more KST, I didn't think there would be enough for the area kit i bought so i bought an extra 20kg bag. And very glad i did. Overall though i love this system. 5 ⭐️

Re-modelling the bathroom so used these boards on the floor and shower area walls. Fantastic materials to work with. Super-light, easy to cut, fixing a breeze either with screws / washers supplied (plenty of those supplied too) or with adhesive. I laid the 20mm boards over old floorboards, so used a super-flex quick-set tile adhesive, no problems. Haven't done the tanking yet but all kit supplied and looks easy to use, thanks to Roger on Skill Builder!
