Thanks for showing us the simple basics without making it seem more complicated than it actually is.
SHOTS FIRED!
You make that look real easy my friend. We will be installing a walk in shower soon and you taught me alot here. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It look great.
I'm glad that it was helpful. Good luck with the project.
🎉ty.god bless
Last shower i did, i did not use any rubber liner. I built my curb (wood, cement board, then thinset and mesh to fill out, smooth and make uniform) and preslope.
After which i coated the curb and pan with Red guard 3 times (same thing as aqua defense except Red)
After that i put my final slope, coated everything in RG again and then tiled over that.
Hopefully that made sense.
This was all done over a concrete slab.
ur the best @simonproatl , quick question, what if i want to install a shower door on the curb would i still angle everything towards the pan? or would i want the curb to be flat and level?
When you install tiles you have to make sure that they slope toward the pan. 1/4" slope is enough. Curb and shower walls must be level and square.
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks like you applied the thinset over the waterproofing membrane before it dried then painted another coat of waterproofing membrane over the thinset before it dried. It would seem that once the outer layer dries it will encapsulate the wet thinset and never fully harden. What do you think.
It's better to wait till it dries. Waterproofing over wet thinset dries very well. Never had any problems.
Great step by step diyers. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
great video. just to confirm that you cut the outside cement board piece, is it 1/4" higher ? if it is true, the top piece, cement board will have a slope, right?
Yes, correct
@@simonproatl do you recommend using the same method over the plywood floor ? Or using something else ?
Same method will work. Instead concrete nails you can use 3" screws to install first 2x4 to a plywood. @@vinhgolf
got it. thank you. @@simonproatl
Shouldn’t you allow the mapei to dry before spreading thinset?
How is this curb doing you put screws on the curb
It will last for many years. Never fails if you do it right. :)
i just saw the video again and i noticed you used some type of membrane to cover the curve and around the shower area . what type is it?
Mapei - Aquadefense - Waterproofing membrane
@@simonproatlis there a video laying out the mebrane?
Probably because he ran screws through the front of the pan membrane ruining the waterproofing.
Only if you make a swimming pool out of you shower :)@@rexburris416
Would this OATEY pan liner and glue be AQUARIUM SAFE ? can i make an aquarium seal out of these materials seen here ?
Pond liner is more flexible.
How do you make a curbless shower on a concrete slab
I don't. Curb is better :)
That's pressure treated wood??
yes
@@RawTakes You have to use pressure treated wood on concrete. It's code.
Men redgard mesh tape you dont know
:)
