A laundry floor can flood when a hose fails, so the whole floor was waterproofed and turned up the walls before tiling.
The floor falls gently towards a waste under the machines.
Project overview
Laundries are wet areas too.

How the work is done
A controlled sequence, not guesswork on the wall.
Every stage is checked before the next begins — the finish is only as good as the work underneath it.
- 01
Waterproof the floor
Applied a membrane over the whole floor and turned it 150 mm up the walls.
- 02
Falls to the waste
Graded the floor gently towards a floor waste under the appliance bay.
- 03
Tile the upstand
Tiled a skirting upstand around the room, sealed to the floor with flexible silicone.
- 04
Splashback and finish
Tiled behind the butler sink and sealed every junction to the benchtop.
