56 INTERIORS Jackoboard® helps transform an old bathroom into a luxury wellness space
A recent project BEWI has been involved in shows how this is totally achievable using products from the company’s extensive Jackoboard® range of tile backerboards and accessories. Used together as a system, the Jackoboard® products have enabled a compact bathroom with limited fl oorspace, and a bath that was hardly ever used, to be totally transformed into a feature room which is both more attractive and more usable. Gone are the outdated fi nishes and restricted space for movement, resulting in the creation of an open-plan wetroom layout with a fully tanked waterproof system and fl ush shower tray. Both rooms now boast modern contemporary fi nishes and, while being attractive, are also easy to clean. The Jackoboard® products used were 2,400 x 600 x 12 mm tile backerboard for the wall, complete with disc plugs to fi x on the outside wall, screws with washers for the internal walls and self- adhesive tapes for sealing. 1,200 x 600 x 6 mm boards were used on the fl oor. Jackoboard® backerboards are very lightweight, 100% waterproof (meaning it’s only the joints that need tanking), thermally insulating with a lambda value of 0.035 W/(mK), so they are ideal for use over underfl oor heating. They also have a very high compressive strength, making them suitable to accept all types of wall and fl oor tile.

Cistermiser is urging the construction and facilities sector to accelerate action on water effi ciency, leakage prevention and smarter water management, following reports that England could face an extreme drought in 2026. Cistermiser fi rst entered the washroom market back in the late 70s, soon after the summer drought, with an innovative water-effi cient product – the hydraulic urinal fl ush control valve. The environmentally focused technology was ahead of its time. Concerns are growing that prolonged dry conditions could increase the likelihood of restrictions and emergency measures in some regions. While long-term infrastructure investment is essential, Cistermiser says there are also practical, immediate steps that can be taken across commercial buildings, public estates and housing to reduce unnecessary water demand without disruption to end users. Cistermiser’s approach focuses on preventing avoidable water loss through a combination of leakage prevention and smarter monitoring. This includes fl ow-monitoring and automatic shut-off valves designed to identify abnormal or continuous water use and stop water loss before it escalates, alongside water management controls that help estates spot unusual consumption patterns – often one of the earliest indicators of hidden leaks.

BAL Waterproof 1C has been rigorously tested and adheres to all NHBC regulations, crucially receiving EAD certifi cation ETA 24/1129 to comply with NHBC specifi ed standard EAD 030352-00-0503. BAL Waterproof 1C off ers a number of benefi ts over other EAD-certifi ed waterproofi ng systems and is also certifi ed with a full BAL tiling solution as part of EAD testing requirements. BAL Waterproof 1C is a cost-eff ective ready-mixed solution – which means no additional mixing is needed on site – and can be used on most common substrates without priming*
.
It is ready to tile after only two hours, meaning jobs can be completed sooner. Formulated with fi bre-strand technology for improved strength, it can be applied in one-coat on walls (ensuring 0.8 mm thickness) and fl oors (ensuring 1.6 mm thickness) with a brush, roller or 4 mm notched trowel.
