LATICRETE Hydro BAN® Easy to Apply Anti-Fracture Liquid Waterproofing and Crack Insulation Membrane, 1 Gallon Pail

This is so far the best water proofing membrane I used. Really love it. Very easy to install just need brush and roller. If you got your hands dirty just wash with the water very and I mean very easy to clean. Very nice coverage. I used three coats on the bathroom shower area with size 3x5 and it was enough for to bathrooms. Stick very well after drying, looks like you installed a rubber mat. And tile mortar grabs really hard. Great product again. Maybe cost more but worth every penny.

I'm building a 3x4x8 shower in my basement. I used the Laticrete pre-formed tileable shower pan/curb (which are made of a dense foam), along with one of their wall inserts. This stuff goes on great. Simply put in a paint pan. Use a brush for the corner areas then use a roller for the rest. Goes on like a thick paint. You don't even have to stir it! Super easy to apply. I used a little over 1 gallon to do my shower. It does need two, decently thick coats. I did not need to paint the floor/curb/wall insert as they already come pre-coated in this stuff, but did a coat on the floor anyway to fix any nicks along the way. The first coat you can still see through in spots. The 2nd coat (which I did 2 hours later) really dried to a very uniform setup. For the cost and ease of use, I can't imagine using some of the other products out there. This works, just use it and be done!

I’ve been a General Contractor for over thirty years, and Hydroban is the best waterproofing membrane I’ve used. I’ve also used Redgard, Laticrete 9235, Aquadefense, and sheet membranes (Schluter/Kerdi) - and Hydroban beats them all for ease of installation and performance. I use reinforcing fabric at the shower pan, around the drain, in the corners, and at wallboard joints for peace of mind. Using the fabric increased dry times significantly, but I sleep well knowing the shower is bulletproof. Worth every penny - look no further.

The best sealant for a tile wall shower. Put on thick and a couple coats

This product is a great product to install, and is very solid is like a hard plastic after it dries up, haven't pour water yet in my shower because I have to let the sealer cure but I hope it doesn't leak wish I'm not expecting that, just wanted to say so far I'm happy with the product, and thank you amazon into next time. God bless.

The Laticrete was easy to apply. I got fast and professional customer support when I sent emails to Laticrete. There is one quirk with the product - it can only be on the wall for 30 days uncovered. You have to install the tiles within 30 days or the product oxidizes and will not hold. I did not know that. I had agreed to help my daughter move 1200 miles away and was gone for 3 weeks so I had to cover it with a thin coat of thiset so it would not oxidize.

Great stuff used it on my shower

This stuff is incredible. I used 2 gallons to completely waterproof my tub surround up to the ceiling. The tile & mud wall I tore out was leaking, so I wanted to make the new one bullet proof. The nice thing about a surface membrane like Hydro Ban is that any water that gets behind the tile is stopped before it gets into the cement board. This can be of benefit on a heavily-used shower that doesn't get a lot of time to dry out between uses. Strongly resists the musty smell that can occur when a shower is always wet. I especially liked that it bonds to the plumbing and tub flange. I was able to easily waterproof the stub out for the tub spout and there is a continuous waterproof barrier all the way down the walls and onto the tub deck. For best results, use the reinforcing fabric in the corners, between cement board and tub, & around plumbing cutouts. Even though Laticrete says Hydro Ban can span gaps up to 1/8", it's cheap insurance against a future leak and really strengthens the waterproofing job.
