Great video, New subscriber 👍 I'm working on my house and doing the bathroom, I was wondering about why didn't you put the cement boards all the way to the floor and then, the aqua defense on both walls and floor, how would be the transition form the wall to the floor? I'm above to do my shower, and I was going to do it like that, cement boards on walls and floor, silicone on the edges between the wall and floor, then murder/tape both, then cement layer on floor as yours to level the floor towards the drain while reaching the edges between wall and floor, then fiber glass on floor as you, then aqua defense on both wall and floor, and keep doing the floor process as the video I'm pretty much wishing to learn more from your and these steps Bless and best wishes 🙏
Best transition from the shower pan to cement boards is to have at least 1/2" gap between shower pan and cement boards that are waterproofed. The best transition between shower floor and wall tile is to tile shower floor first and grout it and then set the wall tiles directly on top of it with 1/8" or less gap for grout to hold better. You don't want to use clear silicone between shower floor and wall tiles because it will get moldy. You can use caulking that matches your grout. But sometimes they don't match exactly.
Since we have the pre slope and the actual slope which leads to thicker concrete install on the base of the shower, my question is that how tall the step at the door will be good enough to prevent water running out?
I usually try to fold the liner instead cuting it but sometimes you just have to cut it and use a corner dams. I will try to show it in the future videos.
You set the drain 1 1/2" from your base so you will have 1/2" room to unscrew it when you install tiles around it. Shower pan it usually 1 1/2" thick around the drain
hi all, can anyone tell me how thick of the concrete do we need to install after we lay down the liner? or how thick of the concrete do we need to install before and after the liner? Appreciate
Pre sloped pan goes before liner and it's 3/4" thick near walls and it 1/4" thick around the drain. If your wall are 2 feet away from the drain it will give you 1/4" per foot slope. When you build the actual shower pan it's 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" thick. If you try to make it thicker your drain might not screw in into base.
