How and where to use guide
EDP SK01 0000 PLAN TILE FLASHING 114 X 70
Typical applications
Plan tile flashing is essential in any tiled area where water resistance is critical. Use this product around tile edges, at junctions between tiled and non-tiled surfaces, and where tiles meet other building elements such as pipes, vents or window frames. It is particularly important in bathrooms and kitchens where moisture exposure is constant, and in external applications where weather protection is needed. The flashing prevents water from penetrating behind tiles and causing damage to underlying substrates, plasterboard or structural elements.
- Bathroom and kitchen wall tiling
- Wet room installations
- External tile cladding
- Around pipe and vent penetrations
- At tile-to-surface junctions
Installation and cutting
Measure the length required for your installation and cut the flashing to size using a tile cutter or a fine-toothed saw. Ensure cuts are clean and straight to maintain the integrity of the watertight seal. Position the flashing at the appropriate edge or junction before tiling, or integrate it into the tiling layout as required. The straightforward installation method makes this suitable for both professional installers and experienced DIY users. Always ensure the flashing sits securely and lies flat against the surface to which it will be applied.
- Use tile cutter or fine-toothed saw for cutting
- Measure accurately before cutting
- Ensure cuts are clean and straight
- Position flashing before or during tiling
- Check flashing sits flat and secure
Weather resistance and durability
This flashing features a durable, weather-resistant construction designed to withstand prolonged water exposure and external elements. The material will not degrade when exposed to moisture, making it reliable in bathrooms, kitchens and outdoor tiled areas. The weather-resistant finish ensures the flashing maintains its protective properties over time, providing a long-lasting watertight seal that protects the structure behind the tiles from water damage.
- Resists prolonged water exposure
- Suitable for external weather conditions
- Maintains integrity in wet environments
- Protects underlying structure from water ingress
- Durable construction for extended service life
On-site tips and limitations
Store the flashing flat and dry on site to prevent damage before installation. Ensure the surface behind the tiles is clean and dry before positioning the flashing. This product is designed for 114 x 70mm tiles specifically; verify tile dimensions before purchase to ensure compatibility. The flashing works best when installed as part of a complete waterproofing strategy in wet areas, rather than as a standalone solution. Do not use in applications where tiles are significantly larger or smaller than the specified dimensions, as the flashing may not provide an effective seal.
- Store flat and dry before installation
- Verify tile size matches 114 x 70mm specification
- Ensure substrate is clean and dry
- Use as part of comprehensive waterproofing approach
- Not suitable for non-standard tile sizes
