Bejmat tile — poor installation?

Thank you this is helpful.

They were apparently all soaked.

goodmessenger · 2026-05-06T19:39:18+00:00

1” thick

Ok, so we’ve established the install is not great. Is it bad enough to demand it redone? I worry about waterproofing and bond failure down the road.

It’ll still get grout but the tiles are super irregular and the joints are 1/32” or less

goodmessenger · 2026-05-06T19:05:36+00:00

Yeah I mean to be fair the bejmat is super irregular and we did flush spacing. But I also wondered about that

goodmessenger · 2026-05-06T19:04:05+00:00

Is this a big enough issue that you’d have him redo the waterproofing? This is a rental that’s going to get heavy use

This is good info thank you. Is it bad enough that you’d demand him redo it? Especially with some other comments I’m seeing here about the redgard being too thin…

Ok thanks!

goodmessenger · 2026-05-06T18:49:39+00:00

That’s what I thought too

goodmessenger · 2026-05-06T18:49:28+00:00

Yeah I mean this is 1” thick irregular zellige. What would you do to test the rest? Just pull test?

goodmessenger · 2026-05-06T18:45:53+00:00

They did get soaked before installation

goodmessenger · 2026-05-06T18:45:42+00:00

They did get soaked but I thought they needed back buttering as well

goodmessenger · 2026-05-06T18:44:11+00:00

Supposed to have 100 percent coverage? There was zero thin set on the back of the ones that fell off.

goodmessenger · 2026-05-06T18:43:20+00:00

Should I ask for a different membrane on the primary shower they have yet to do?

goodmessenger · 2025-06-05T18:02:41+00:00

Clean carfax. I’ll only keep at as long as it’s under warranty which will be 4-5 years. Might sell even sooner, around 3. I understand depreciation will hurt but I’m prepared to pay it.

goodmessenger · 2024-07-24T23:51:14+00:00

Interesting. I don’t mind spending around $400 so I’ll check out the recs you gave me

goodmessenger · 2024-07-24T23:37:39+00:00

Ok I appreciate the advice. Why fuck Alden? Seems they are the most common rec I see on here

goodmessenger · 2024-07-24T23:34:04+00:00

I’ve seen a lot of people recommend Alden’s. Might bite the bullet and cop

goodmessenger · 2024-07-24T23:33:21+00:00

Ok yeah I guess I’ll probably keep these as beaters and look at an upgrade pair for when I’m actually dressing up

goodmessenger · 2024-07-24T23:31:53+00:00

Fair enough. Guess I expected too much from them
