It is essential in bathrooms, kitchens, shower enclosures and any wet area where tiles meet walls, corners or other surfaces. This flashing is designed for 114 x 70mm tiles and provides a durable, weather-resistant barrier against moisture penetration. It suits both professional tilers and competent DIY installers undertaking bathroom or kitchen renovations.

Compatibility and sizing
This flashing is manufactured to fit 114 x 70mm tiles precisely. Before purchasing, measure your tile dimensions to confirm they match this specification. The flashing can be cut to length using a tile cutter or saw, so you can adapt it to fit corners, edges and varying wall lengths. Consider the total linear metres you need by measuring the perimeter of the tiled area where flashing is required.

Pre-installation checks and preparation
Before fixing, ensure the tile surface and substrate are clean, dry and free from dust, debris and old adhesive. Check that the wall or surface is sound and properly prepared according to your tiling specification. Have your cutting tools ready if you need to trim the flashing to length. Ensure you have appropriate adhesive or fixing method selected for your substrate type, as this is not included with the flashing itself.
