Professional rt here. Thank you sir, helpful
Hello. Good recommendations. I would also recommend 'penny tiles' - they are classic and also small so lots of gout to create a nonskid floor.
Thank you. Great information and explanation.
Filipinos in the construction industry should watch this video, for some sick reason they like to use big shiny slippery tiles for their bathrooms.
Thank you
Question, I already have a concrete floor , is it absolutely necessary for me to pitch the concrete floor before I put the membrane ?and then pour a second pitch on top of that? Or can I just put the membrane and pitch the floor with pitch perfect?
james wells You’ll get a different answer depending on who you ask. If you have a curb shower, I would do a pre-slope, add the membrane, then add a second slope. Some people will say it’s not necessary, but this method has been done this way for decades and it’s the best way to ensure your shower doesn’t fail.
Leonard Skipper They say that you do not need a pre-slope because of capillary action, meaning the whole mortar bed pre-slope would have to be absolutely absorbed with water before the first drop goes down the drain. So very little water underneath the membrane is going to happen. I mean literally there would have to be holes in the membrane.7
james wells not sure if I understand your rationale. Capillary action for a pre-slope is not a factor if there’s a membrane in place. The purpose of a pre-slope is to further aid the flow of water into the drain....it’s an added level of protection and can easily be done without inconvenience.
Leonard Skipper I agree Leonard ,but there are some situations that you can’t do a pre-slope. I’ve only done one pre-slope ,and that’s because I was forced to by the plumber who put the drain riser to high. It was OK though ,just took me a little longer to complete the job. Up until then I’m not done pre-slopes and I’m having great success with showers. It’s like going hunting ,truthfully all you need is a gun. Yet you can walk into a hunting store and they’ve got three isles full of stuff they say you need to kill one deer.
