Hi everyone,
So far, we haven’t had many issues, but now the tilers seem to have made a mistake while preparing the screed in a walk-in shower.
The insulation at the edge next to the wall has slipped upwards, so there is no insulation strip between the screed and the wall anymore. This creates a perfect sound bridge.
Question: Does this need to be corrected, and if so, what is the best way to do it?
The shower floor will be tiled with porcelain stoneware, and standard tiles will be installed on the walls.
Thanks and best regards,
Andreas

Well, as a layperson, I wouldn’t have recognized most issues, couldn’t have prevented them, and didn’t fully understand the consequences. This was only possible with expert assistance.
I can imagine that many things might go unnoticed or be done incorrectly when non-experts commission construction without involving professional help.
