Enjoyed the video. Can you show us a curbless pan on a concrete slab. Thank you

@aaronsvoboda5897 5 месяцев назад

Great video!! I really liked how you installed the schluter deco (for the glass door) over the waterproofing. I've seen videos that install it in between the shower pan and the schluter membrane, and I feel like that's worse than using screws cause it creates a much larger area for potential leaks.

@HomeRepairTutor 5 месяцев назад

Thank you 🙏🏼 ya, I put it on the edge of the tray so that water will hit the glass and go down toward the drain. The KERDI-FIX is to prevent capillary water movement from the shower.

I just did a similar job for my elderly Aunt using a Castico showerpan. I highly recommend it.

@HomeRepairTutor 5 месяцев назад

I’m not familiar with them. How do they work?

@nlitenurmind 5 месяцев назад

You order one-piece composite tile pans in various sizes and can also be cut a little with a tile blade. I put down Redgard on the subfloor and used some shims and the thinnset to level out the pan because the subfloor was a little sloped. The pan was 1-1/8" thick but I was able to butt up to the old floor tile and only have a small lip to roll over in a wheelchair.

i wish u can do a curbless shower construction over cement slab...from plumbing (hole drain) to the installation of everything else...

@danielbonner8309 2 месяца назад

You can, it just has to be a drop down pan or you have to knock the slab and drain down in the shower. Ive actually never done a walkin on a sub floor.

@crabboy01 5 месяцев назад

Nice clean work. I've waterproofed and entire bathroom floor before by using kerdiband on the Ditra seams and along the walls, why the extra sheet of Kerdi over the Ditra?

@blobbbbbyful 12 дней назад

Great guide! Question as a DIYer, I'm wondering why you placed membrane over the ditra? Isn't ditra already waterproof?

@HomeRepairTutor 12 дней назад

It is but I recommend extending it 12 inches into the shower and at least that outside the shower. Since I had seams on the DITRA, I determined it would be a good option to just waterproof everything with the KERDI

@racker7855 5 месяцев назад

you said the tile pattern was customer request. Do you like a diff pattern with that size tile? im in the middle of a bathroom remodel and my kid wants the 12x24 ran vertical.....what is the most common pattern?

@HomeRepairTutor 5 месяцев назад

With large format tiles like a 12x24, you’ll eliminate tile lippage or uneven heights with a third offset patter, eg staggering the vertical tiles every 8” - but these tiles were flat. So the 1/2 pattern offset didn’t produce the lippage problem.

@johnc4686 Месяц назад

How would you suggest waterproofing a upvc window within the shower zone?

@HomeRepairTutor Месяц назад

I’d have to see it but a combination of KERDI-BAND, thin-set and KERDI-FIX

@vm12345 5 месяцев назад

Why do you embed the DECO-SG with Kerdifix instead of thinset?

@HomeRepairTutor 5 месяцев назад

Actually it’s embedded into both thin-set and KERDI-FIX. The anchoring leg is embedded into mortar and I apply a 1/2” thick bead of KERDI-FIX on the flat side to prevent capillary water movement

@AidanSkoyles 5 месяцев назад

Nice job, but I wouldn't recommend that Schluter Deco SG though. In theory it's a great idea, but water will get in that channel (even if you silicone it). Once it's in, it cant get out, so the channel will get gross and gungy and it's impossible to clean. Also well done for doing a traditional drain not a linear drain. Dont get me started on how awful those are to maintain.

@HomeRepairTutor 5 месяцев назад

I’m not sure how water gets in the channel though, the glass should occupy most of it. I like that option because there are no screws penetrating the waterproofing. Which is important for any shower but especially the curbless shower. Ya, I’m not a fan of linear drains and think they could be a fad that we all look back on and say “why?”

@AidanSkoyles 5 месяцев назад

@@HomeRepairTutorThe "why" on linear drains is easy -- they look nice. They just dont work well in the long term. As for the Deco SG, I'm just speaking from experience.

Is the whole dry floor substrate pitched towards the shower?

@HomeRepairTutor 5 месяцев назад

Only the shower tray is sloped. The main floor is level

@BonBon770 5 месяцев назад

@HomeRepairTutor Yeah, that's what I thought you were gonna say. I'm not totally sold on curbless and so are a lot of other people. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but there's really no long-term results. I don't personally see how the water is going to stay inside of the tray. And then you say well, you waterproof to the dry area. But the water has nowhere to go but to sit mold and dry and simmer. I'm not trying to be negative, just pointing out facts. shower looks great and I'm sure it'll be fine, but I wouldn't recommend Curbless to anybody. Unless it really meets the criteria for a curve of a shower, which is very few showers. Have a good one.

@HomeRepairTutor 5 месяцев назад

@@BonBon770 totally understand, that said, I used Spectralock one so that water won’t penetrate under the porcelain tiles. Thus, it has nowhere to go but down the solvent welded drain, no weep holes. So there’s a lot to consider but this one was done in such a way that it exceeded Schluter and TCNA standards

@BonBon770 5 месяцев назад

@HomeRepairTutor Yeah, that's awesome that you used a epoxy/epoxy based grout. I was gonna say because that's about the only way that you're gonna stop from what I was saying. so yeah, definitely agree. Unfortunately, lots of people don't use that. And it will be a problem in the future. Especially if you're on a wood sub floor like this job here. In florida we mostly deal with concrete And first floor applications. so we do not waterproof the dry area. Unless it's something like this where it's curbless and has a waterproofing membrane on top. So at least 12 inches out of the shower would be pitched into the shower. Every shower is different. You wouldn't see it because it would be buried in a flat/level tile floor. But the substrate underneath would be Pitched, so when the water does get through the grount joints, it has to go into the shower.

Why did you apply a waterproof membrane over the uncoupling membrane which is waterproof? That's waterproofing over waterproofing. I find that a waste of money and time.
