Frequently Asked Questions About Hob Polyurethane 1200mm x 75mm x 50mm
Q: How do I cut the polyurethane hob?
A: Use a fine-toothed handsaw or a power saw with a clean blade for precise cuts. Always mark your measurements clearly before cutting to ensure accuracy on site.
Q: Will this hob support tiling and grout properly?
A: Yes, the hob is designed for full tiling systems and provides a stable base once waterproofed, allowing tiles and grout to adhere securely without movement.
Q: Is it compatible with liquid or sheet waterproof membranes?
A: Absolutely. This hob works well with both liquid-applied and sheet membrane systems. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the membrane.
Q: What if the subfloor is uneven?
A: Level the area using tile screed or base leveller prior to installation. Shimming may be used for minor adjustments to ensure even contact along the full length.
Q: How do I dispose of offcuts or damaged sections?
A: Offcuts can be disposed of with general construction waste. Avoid burning the material, and always follow local disposal guidelines.
