Ella Glue Up Flexible Tile Flange BulkBox for Projects 164′
$475.00The purpose of the Ella Glue-Up Tile Flange kit is to provide the perfect tile flange option for bathtubs and shower bases that lack a built-in tile flange.
Ella brand walk-in bathtub shells do not include an integral tile flange. The reason for this omission is our focus on maximizing interior space by minimizing the deck width to the necessary minimum. As a result, finishing tiles or wall panels over the deck should also occupy minimal space to allow for cleaning gaps between the wall and fixtures. We strongly recommend purchasing and installing Ella’s glue-up flexible tile flange for this purpose. This tile flange is constructed from a thin, waterproof fabric membrane and is perfectly suited for this application.

DURABASE WS – Corner Tape with Protection Wall Sealing Against Trowels
From $69.00DURABASE WS Corner Joint Tape (ETA Approved) is a professional waterproofing solution engineered to protect the most vulnerable transitions in wet areas. Corners and junctions are where moisture pressure and movement typically cause failures, which is why secure sealing at wall-to-floor and wall-to-wall connections is essential. This tape is designed to deliver dependable wall sealing behind tile in showers, wet rooms, bathrooms, and other moisture-exposed spaces, helping prevent leaks that can lead to mold, damaged substrates, and costly repairs.
A key advantage is its ETA approval, providing added confidence that the product is assessed for performance in demanding construction environments when installed as part of the recommended system. The tape also features a reinforced center strip that helps resist accidental damage during installation, such as trowel impacts or punctures that can compromise the waterproofing layer.
Ideal for new builds and renovations, DURABASE WS Corner Joint Tape supports a clean, system-based waterproofing method by reinforcing critical joints and maintaining continuity across transitions. The result is a more durable, watertight finish and long-term peace of mind, with premium protection exactly where wet-area assemblies need it most.
