Where do you buy waterstop edge from and how is it installed ? sorry...

Most tile shops stock them, install before water proofing, yes at door jambs or where the tiles end. you may also need to place water stop at tile edge. stick with sikaflex is fine

thanks heaps for that

really dumb question, im about to rip apart my bathroom and redo the whole thing.... ive been researching the process of water proofing/tiling etc. and i keep reading about a waterstop edge... what is this?

It's part of the waterproofing process, generally an aluminium or plastic angle formed in with the waterproofing membrane at the shower and bathroom doors. A barrier to stop water drawing through the tile screed/adhesive/grout layer.

also you'll need to know your tile thickness before you can buy your water stop, get it from a tile shop.

@ ashman, the only "Dumb Question" is the one you don't ask,
