Jimmy,

I have know idea. I would have to ask why would you want to first? Second I thought it was more like a FRP board and textured. I do know they make special plastic cap for joining the two together to make water proof.

Tell us what you are up to!



Rob

I am on a job and the customer has said that they had purchased the altro and altros wall board just for that purpose, they had seen it done some where else, finally late last night i got the word from altro's tech that the answer is NO .. the two products are not designed to work that way. i thank you guys for all your input . it would be interesting to try just dont think i would enjoy doing it.. lol

Thats good to know, I also did some research late last night and found out it can be welded to the trim of the whiterock, like you can weld to the Gully angle trim etc. thanks for updating us it is appreciated.

On that Altro Whiterock job where I worked for one day they were planning on coving Miplam 6" up the floor and welding directly to the whiterock. There was a thickness difference so I suggested some felt. Another installer who I believe is or has installed the floor was looking at a piece of two faced tape to build the Miplam out flush.

Never heard or saw how that came out.
