Re: ACO Drain Laid Against Wall But Above Damp Proof Course

thanks welsh brickie

would aquaseal need to be applied all over wall down to aco or just in splashback area? I would imagine a grate wouldn't create as much splashback as a solid patio against a wall would.

good idea for legs on grate

cheers
