This video shows step by step how to create a base for the installation of a Schluter Kerdi-Line linear drain, and the process used to waterproof the shower floor before the tile is installed. This will also work for other types of line drains, it is just a method to create a flat pitch for water to flow towards a long drain. The beauty of a linear drain is that allows for shower floor tile options not possible with a traditional small point drain. All the tile options available with a standard drain are still valid, plus the ability to install any other size tile also becomes possible, no longer is the tile size limited to mosaic tiles no larger than 3", Large format tiles of any size up to the size of the shower floor, now become possible. In this video I demonstrate the method I use to create a slope flat floor pitched to the linear drain using deck mud as the base. Foam trays are also an option, however the sub floor to which the tray is installed has to be, flat, level and smooth to accommodate a foam tray and the tray still needs to be cut fitted or extended and modified to fit exactly into the space of the shower floor. Mud, or deck mud, or floating the shower floor has only one needed condition to be possible, and that is that the sub floor be stable. It has no importance how level flat and smooth the base for the mud is as long as it can support the floor. Obviously it still needs to be cleaned before the installation of the base.

Why did you use 2 layers of the waterproof membrane?
Awesome video sal, just wondering why the two pieces of membrane? thanks
Longtime follower, subscriber and student of yours, Sal and like below, grateful to you for your posts over the years. And I have an unrelated question that I'm hoping you can help me with: Can you recommend the best adhesive for 1/4 round pieces I wish to install along my shower wall/ledge? The foundation materials are composite base and aluminum trim/track for the glass enclosure.
Did you use Rapid setting thinset? Or do you put a piece of membrane over the drain until the thinset dries until the next morning? And then flood tested? So the extra piece of membrane is just for the flood test and then you take it off? Awesome video very informative
Im getting to that age where I cant see very well anymore. Never enough light and Im starting to cover up outlets when I sheetrock. How do you fight aging?
Where a head lamp😂😂😂
@@beanieweenie9543 maybe some VR goggles?
Michelle de blasi what is the mortar that you're using on the floor too attached kerdi membrane
Sorry my auto spell is it working I meant to say Mr. Deblasi
do you file for permits on the flood inspection?
Not required here
Is hydroban board expensive?
no more than any other foam board
@@SalDiBlasi my biggest issue with the 3x5 boards is they are 4” short of standard stud spacing. 36”x60” leaves a lot of waste because studs will lay out to 64”, not 60”. If they just lade them a little longer it would seem worth it unless all you do are 3x5 showers. 4’x8’ are too big to haul.
Why do you play that back ground noise over and over, it's the step bedore water board.
Schluter-Kerdi linear drain, installed entirely with Laticrete Hydroban products. :D
Also ... what is Sal listening to in those ear buds? Music? Audiobooks? Podcasts? What?
