Easiest Way to Waterproof OVER Dry Pack Shower Pan --- Hydro Ban Liquid Membrane
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- The newer technology of surface applied waterproofing membrane for tiled showers allows the installer to waterproof over the dry pack mortar bed as opposed to under it. This alleviates the possibility of a saturated mortar bed and the mold issues that can arise from clogged weep holes or bad pre-slope. When using a surface applied membrane, no pre-slope is needed, saving time and money. Laticrete Hydro Ban is the best liquid applied waterproofing membrane on the market today. Redgard may be cheaper, but it lacks the solids that provide an even thick coat and flexibility.
Liquid membrane waterproofing is easier to install than sheet membranes like Schluter Kerdi.

This is the best way to do it.
I have made a stainless steel shower pan and glued the floor tiles in the pan.
Cement will always flush away and you get leaks.
We have a product called " DACFILL " equal to hydro ban. Normally used for roofs. Our show is now more than 16 years without leaks.
We use a similar product like this in Europe for years. Works great!
Looks like this is much easier than the Schluter systems or the rubber sheets. Definitely going to try this on my next project. Thanks.
Thanks tile coach! I really dig this setup, Flowfx drain worked perfectly.
Great Demo and I agree, Hydroban is the best liquid applied membrane on the market.
Enjoying this series so far, Looks like fun!
I just found the answer to my question in the previous posts. So the answer is yes you apply your thin set over the Hydro Ban and install the tile. Excellent thanks for this video and actually all the other videos you have uploaded.
I dont get it..i thought you put the tiles direct before the drypack has dried? So why not then uce normal wet concrete if its anyway going to dry
@@cieslaolsztyn8266 Concrete remains porous and not very water proof when dry. Special mixes and techniques are used when concrete has to be waterproof, like in a dam. The motarbed is not water proof either. When you shower water penetrates the grout, goes into the motarbed and down the drain.
@@vids595 So this Hydro Ban is only because of the drypack? Does he use drypack only because its esyer to make a slope on the floor? I bet there are many showers with tiles fixed right on the concrete without any mambrane..no problem
I was hoping for a water test. Thanks for the video. I appreciate the effort.
The gloves are an excellent marketing stratergy, and they look dope too. When I get some extra money I'll grab a pair.
Well, I've already learned several things. I bought and applied the Red Guard....so fingers crossed. I've only applied 1 gal....which did not cover my entire shower and walls. Our shower is 60"x36" with a slab floor circa 1967, and the drain is less than 8" from the wall. I already put another layer of Sand Mix and graded by using a laser at the perimeter. The grade is approximately 1" to the top of the Oatey 3 part drain. So here's hoping I pick enuf info from your videos. Thanks for the time you do making the videos. I hope my own home job will be a success...never done tile. House framing, yes, with lots of experience. My real conconcern is transition to the level sides of drain using my wife's selection of 1'x2' tiles coming in at an angle with the 60" grade slope.... again, this could be a fail in the making....
I really like your demo's and product recommendations!
Great product one of the best. I highly recommend using the 9235 anti fracture membrane with 9235 / hydro ban / hydro barrier when waterproofing a shower pan despite Laticrete tolerance.
Just finished up a 5x 9 curbless shower with a big bench seating area. Used pretty much the same methods
Great video. It would help if you show in the text what went on when. Example: Subfloor plywood followed by Durock Cement board followed by dry pack and membrane. Walls: Durock cement board followed by mesh in the corners, followed by liquid membrane. I try to write it all down and have to replay the video over and over to make sure I got it all. But your teaching is just great. Thanks.
That looks good. Thanks for sharing your insight. It gives me more confidence on my jobs.

Soon as I seen hydro ban I subbed. I always use it.
That was a really good video Isaac !! I am about to undertake my alcove shower 36" x 60" on concrete slab. I like that you are current with the new technology!! I am right here in Rocklin, Ca and would enjoy talking to you about your recommendations. Leave me a comment if I can come by or reach out to you. Appreciate it. Your videos keep getting better and better!! Thanks for sharing
And you wanna go perpendicular to the last coat. Great work.
I think the way the other guy does it as a pan in your old red guard video works out much better, even when using hydro ban. with a watered down primer coat then two thinner more even coats, but to each there own
Great video! You're a very good teacher. I feel much more confident preparing a shower for tile. Thank you!
Tuning in from Buffalo, New York. I just ordered the FLO FX PVC flange kit today with the black grate. Looking forward installing this.
Thank you! I saw the order ✊

Excellent tutorial man thanks! Subbed
I’m preparing to replace a garden tub with a shower, and this video provided the perfect method that seems to be a balance of ease of construction and effective waterproofing. Wish you would have included the water test though.
This is not the right way to do a shower pan install by any means there’s so many things he did wrong and that are against code where do I start? No pre-pitch under that shower membrane so when water leaks through to the shower membrane, it’ll sit there in puddles instead of being escorted to the shower drain, weep holes like it is designed to do Then he screwed holes in the shower pan membrane below curb level, with his dry pack for beginners idea. which is again a no-no and then finally putting the expensive ass roll-on membrane on top of the dry pack, which is counterintuitive to what it’s supposed to be doing. The whole job is wrong from start to finish people that make these videos on TH-cam. I think they just pick a niche read up on it and think they’re a professional when in fact, giving false and very bad information that could potentially cause major leak and major damage to your home where is his license, because if he had one, he would know all this very dangerous to listen to people like this call a professional you get what you pay for remember
@@StephenMcDonough-eg5nm With all due respect, you are way behind the times in shower pan technology. There is no pre-slope because using Hydro ban prevents water from ever getting down to the dry pack. And a flow FX drain doesn't even have weep holes. He drilled holes when making the slope because the membrane went over top of the holes in the form of Hydro ban. I would suggest that you put a little time into researching some of these new techniques. They would save you a lot of effort and headache.
Yeah, it will show me the code book where it says that that’s allowed just because you say it is doesn’t make it true why even put a shower pan and if that’s the case what do you need a shower pan for if that’s so great I’m gonna go with. It’s not as a plumber for a zero entry shower that means with no curb. You’re allowed to make a pen from the red guard but in that situation, you still have to pre pitch it. and do a water test for your inspection which I’m sure that what you’re doing you don’t pull permits or have inspections done because you know more than everyone else good luck again nothing personal I just don’t think you should be giving advice that’s not correct especially like I said before screwing screws below the curve line into the shower pan why would you do that? You have to know that that’s against code and not just against code was just wrong and every which way OK good luck take care.
I have been enjoying the info in your videos. Do you have any videos on replacing a fiberglass shower shell with a foam pan and some of the issues you might run into?
Once the hydro ban is installed, what do u use to apply tile? I know the parent company has a three part epoxy adhesive, but could u use anything else? Will you put out a video to show how to tile over the hydro an liquid?
Fellow tile guy here love your videos .I'm doing a big shower a big floor buying the hydropan and shower kit my pan is a little short I heard I can use deck mud then go over with this stuff of course I'll wrap the pan as well with the fabric and prob use the latticrete silicone as well tell me if I'm in right direction or way off thanks isaac
Hey Isaac your videos are awesome and has inspired me to tile my shower first of all I have 42 and a half inches is the longest point a drain what would be the correct measurement for packing my pan and does hydro ban liquid membrane recommend flease vans around the pan up the wall
I used this (packed the curb and floor myself) and did the corners with laticrete membrane tape because that was my biggest worry. It passed a 48 hr flood test and it's been used daily for almost two years
Yupp that Reinforcing mesh made by merkrete is the trick to one day never leak showers 2 coats
@@wmars4655 I actually didn't use mesh I used membrane tape made by laticrete which is also who makes hydroban. that way I know the products are compatible with each other
I use the fabric with mapei aquamembrane and it surprisingly withheld the water test for 2 days. First time made me nervous, but now I'm standing by it. They even made the membrane a light blue so you can see your marks and lines when you lay tile
Wouldn’t it be cheaper and mote time efficient to just use a prefabricated copper shower pan?
Nice, was it difficult to do or did you find it pretty easy?
You are a good teacher
That’s the thickest application I’ve ever seen. Might have to do it this way
Question 🙋♂️ can you use over regular gipsom sheet rock thank you for giving us this solution
I used the flo fx drain. It's so badass.
Good Day thank you for all of your videos. I am a DIY home owner. I am getting ready to gut my bathroom entirely to have the slopping floor repaired by a professional. And, I will be replacing the bathtub/shower with a tiled shower with a high curb ... so my toddler grandchildren can still bath. I have been watching your videos for over a month and have learned a lot. Thank you so much. BUT... I get confused when you talk about different systems, different grout products, using pans or using dry pack, using tapes for seams, water proofing products. How. as a first timer. can I choose products that will work together and last?
Thanks for sharing it.
I watched your first clip(creating slop with dry pack) and just wondering. Is there any mininum thickness when u?sing dry pack? Thanks.
Fantastic stuff Isaac! You have been the most helpful source for tile DIY I have found - so thank you! Quick question. Would you recommend adding dry pack if the cement floor already has appropriate slope to the drain? Obviously the dry pack serves the water in water out method. Is it necessary when applying the liquid membrane over the tile pan? Can I skip that step and apply the membrane directly to the concrete?
Slide in DMs or an email for a question like this. Chances homeboy will see it in the comments are close to 0
I think applying the dry pack over existing sloped cement floor is how high is the drain that you are finishing to? If its flush with the cement, then no mud bed would be needed. Just clean the concrete very well and go for it. If you are addind a drain body, then the necessity for a mud bed is obvious. Apply membrane up and over the curb etc.
Thank you,
I’m using this system.
Very nicely done 👍 my biggest pain point with mud beds is the wait time before applying waterproofing. I need to re-examine my procedure on a full bath remodel in order to do it. waiting 3 days before applying liquid waterproofing is too long for me…. Do you ever use the quick cure mud from laticrete? I’m guessing you could apply hydroban the first day with that? Great tutorial 👍
You can apply hbb sheet membrane right after mud if youre careful enough and use the corners banding etc
I prefab when I don't have time too wait on cure times. It's not hard but most people don't think about it or don't know it's an option but if you can build it in place you can build it at the shop
Awesome video thank! Does this work on regular Durock?
Can you explain more about the seams? That you put the tape on before the seal.
So I have followed you because I enjoy your honesty and skill
So my question is can I do this paint on with Redgaurd using the thin coat
love the videos I"M in the process of building a shower the drain is offset from center per customer specs I"M using quickcrete sand topping mix as my drypack mud its over plywood so I have my pan liner and telescopic drain installed I put the durarock down about a half inch from the panliner as not to hurt the liner with a sharp edge so after installing the mud bed because of the offset drain where its two feet from the wall the picth is great where its a four feet from the wall the picth isnt quite enough could I install some 1/4 inch dura rock just along the perimiter as a screed point and use mape large format wall thin set to skim coat from the 1/4 inch board down to nothing to increas my slope then hydro ban the whole shower will the hydro ban work over the thin set as it would over the dry pack
So you prefer Hydroban to Flex Seal?
I'm learning so much from you, thanks. Pretty sure now I will need a plumber to deal with the situation I have with the drain. But after that, I can rock.
I like it, can you explain why you like it better than red guard or aqua defense though? I have used both but I am not a pro, I am a DIY hack at best. Curious as to what makes it better.
nice videos mate. have you ever used something like sika t8 for waterproff/tile a shower?
cheers
I used this approach a couple years ago. I don’t know why more people don’t use this on single slope mortar beds. At the time I was researching it, a lot of people were kind of freaked out with with the “risk” of a roll on membrane with no redundancy.
The cost is a risk also. $429.00 usd for a 5 gallon bucket.
@@tryan7 Exactly, some companies are very proud of thier chemicals. I bet the bucket, label etc. costs more than the chemical. You just have to know they make the chemicals in huge vats, bet $2 a gallon max...
@@BADMONTESS not necessarily
@@tryan7$100 for a 1 gallon bucket which is more than enough for a shower pan??
@@chrisl1873 how high should you go?
You need to apply sica flex in the corners cement bed and the wall sheets move independently of each other therefore hydro band by itself will tear and then you will have a water leak ..tiler from Australia
Laticrete approves using hydroban without banding in changes of plane with a gap less than 1/8" and seams in hydroban board the same. But I agree the extra sealant underneath like latisil or sika flex or using the Hydroban fabric in the corners is ideal
Great video! Now can you show how you tile around the drain after this method?
Great video! How does it compare with MAPEI Mapelastic Aquadefense?
Great video! I'd like to do the same for my washing machine and replace the ugly laundry pan. Which thinnest do you recommend for this application @TileCoach?
I just watch one of your other video's. I'm watching them all. Question is it wrong to use Hydro Ban under your tile if you have installed a standard shower pan between your mud beds?
best looking mock up ever 😉
Might be a dumb question…but could you just put some kind of sealer or coating over top that to finish it off? Or would that cause problem later on down the road when you had the time and money to tile?
I noticed that Aqua-Defense dissolves in water!! I was shocked to see it soften and turn to mush if water sits on it. Does Hydro-ban dissolve with water? I think a side-by-side comparison would be an awesome video.
Can you tile right over the liquid membrane or do you have to add another layer of mortar bed like you would after installing a sheet membrane?
Isaac, if I am making my shower base out of grout, couldn't I also make my shower curb out of grout? Making both at the same time?
Hi Isaac, love your videos. I'm in the middle of DIY shower remodeling and used kerdi pan for a curbless shower and Denshield on the walls. would you recommend Hydro Ban to seal the corners and any change of plane, or Hydro ban on kerdi will not hold? Thanks!
Hydroban sticks great to Kerdi
When I lived in NJ and WV laticrete hydroban was an option, but now here in NC the only option is Lowe's (Aqua Defense) or HD (Red guard).
I have never not used the PVC liner, this method does look a lot work.
Who carries the Flo FX drain?
How do you finish the wall ends? Do you install drywall or durarock first and line the curb up so it is flush? Do you tile the wall ends?
We use a lot of liquid applied membranes in Australia Isaac. This method is similar to what we do here, however we generally caulk in a fillet/bead of sealant on all internal corners prior to applying the liquid membrane (or sometimes a special bandage is used), this acts as a "bond breaker" allowing the liquid membrane to release and move Independently of the fillet/bead in areas of movement (eg at a wall to floor junction, or where 2 different substrates meet etc).
We can also speed up the installation process by applying a water based epoxy primer over the bed the day after it has been installed, this epoxy coat acts as a "moisture/vapour barrier" allowing you work over the moist bed the next day, then you apply your liquid membrane the day after that. (No waiting 3 days for the bed to dry).
Im in Australia, whats the brands? Can I DIY?
I thought no sica flex in the corners or bandage was showing people how to do it wrong setting them up for failure. ..fellow aussie tiler
The caulk tip sounds very logical to me. Thanks.
@@mikeyfoofoo just make sure your layer thickness and integrity is maintained during the application over the flexible caulking
It isn't a tip so much as a requirement for most (all?) class 3 membranes, to have a bond breaker at all joints and including over any screw holes. Apperently using the fibreglass reinforcing tape with a class 3 reduces it to a class 1 membrane as it can no longer flex as designed. Also check requirements as most require a primer for proper adhesion... enjoy
I just watched your video where you demonstrated the porous dry pack allowing water to seep through and drain out the weep holes. But now you are excluding that feature by waterproofing the top of the dry pack? What method is better?
Great Demonstratiin.
Hey brother great video! Is it necessary for the dry pack mortar bed to cure for three days ?
Do you need to prep the Hydroban when it is in the bucket? Meaning any eggbeating type mixing.
Great video. i appreciate the effort you put into your videos. I'm confused I thought you said waterproof membrane on top and 40 mill pan liner underneath could trap water and you called it a mold sandwich. Could you explain that please thanks again for great videos!
Did he use a pan liner? There shouldn't be a need for one with the liquid membrane. The motar bed is just there to have a solid, sloped base. The waterproofing is above it.
Great videos. QQ, can I leave the shower base just with Hydro Ban, no tiles on top? Would it peel off from hot water and soap?
Me again, question. Once I complete my shower pan and apply Hydro ban, if I wanted to insta ditra heat. Do you think is possible and okay to cover it once more with thin-set, another layer of hydro ban and paint it? I was thinking of covering ditra heat with a concrete overla, but am not sure if that is okay to do with the system. Long story short, i'd like to create cement shower pan so that I may stain it and paint it with epoxy. What are your thoughts? Gratitude in advance.
Do you think I could use this on a schluter pre-formed curb?
@tilecoach Absolutely love your gloves Issac and those new ones look nice 👍🏻
Cheers✌🏻
If one did not want to go through the trouble of building a shower curb. Could one use a schluter curb with this method?
@tilecoach I would still do a sheet membrane just to help keep dry pack together and then put liquid on top the next day.
Hey Isaac, would it make sense or would you reccomend putting Hydroban liquid membrane over an installed Schluter TT shower tray +drain+kerdi boards, prior to tiling? (I would still do all schluter waterproofing membrane steps)
I have started a curbless shower install at my cottage, and i have since seen your videos about the kerdi failures when it comes to All-set/thinset, the kerdi membranes, capillary action etc. I have zero interest in preserving warranty coverage from any of these companies, my only interest is to build a lasting waterproof system that wont fail. I feel like an additional layer of hydroban liquid on top of everything would be desirable overkill. Any thoughts?
Just curious if we’re a full size large shower would you do the walls 1st?
How about also using the Laticrete Waterproofing Membrane 6" for the corners and along the perimeter? I've seen people doing that. Or is it not recommended if you don't have cracks greater than 1/8"? I am about to use the same waterproofing on my mortar bed but now I question the usefulness of the corner membrane.
I have an existing floor drain and want to do a tile shower using that existing floor drain in concrete. What is the best drain system to use?
Could you do the same with Aquadefense or is this stuff different? Also, you don't use any corner/edge tape? (Aquadefense requires the joints to be taped with that blue rubbery-tape prior to Aquadefense)
So you don't have to use any bonding flanges or tape stuff before Applying this or can you over kill and use it anyways?
So do you use detra board after this?? Or just start laying tile?
I see you used fasteners in the curb and thinset it prior to applying the Hydroban. Is Starrr Tile right?
Laticrete is the best I have used all other mentioned
Hey coach what can I do if liquid membrane cracks. Can I put another coat over it?? Please help me with your experience
I'm curious why in this video you say that you don't need to use any reinforcing fabric in the corners but in the previous video I just looked at you installed reinforcing fabric?
Thicker membrane can stretch much more than thin membrane,
Stretching a membrane causes it to thin, as it elongates across the future crack in the structure.
so a 1 mill membrane can stretch 3 mill,
but a 0.3 mill membrane can stretch only 1 mill before tearing.
I think the...tiler from Australia, David Otway, has a good point.
The flexible filler in the corners creates more room to move for the membrane.

Great video
Did you do a test , which water proofing do you recommend, hydro ban liquid or hydro ban cementitious? I am going to do a shower and I need to use a waterproof
I’m installing a Neodrain linear drain with “conventional” drain flange and mud deck. Can I just put down the tar paper, lath, then dry pack with the slope, right to the height (or just below) the linear drain, leaving enough room for the tiles I’ll then put down? In other words, is there any need for 2 layers of dry pack - 1 pre slope, then water barrier (like what you used here) then 2nd layer of dry pack?
Would you do the same system with goboard shower walls?
Just hydroban alone over the pan, walls, and curb to waterproof everything?
Hey guys. I also watched the dry pack video. Do you not use a membrane? The vinyl roll stuff under the dry pack?
Do you need to use a PVC liner beneath the mud?
Is hydro ban compatible with heated flooring?
Hey I have a question about the shower pan u have u install the pan liner or just waterproof membrane
I’m curious as to why you didn’t do mesh tape between floor and walls?
Whats your favorite shower system? I was taught with oatey pvc liner for the pan over pre slope mortar bed, then a second bed of mortar. Concrete board on walls that goes over the liner, backer seams done with tape and thinset, then redgard on walls. It doesnt seem like a bad system, but its time consuming with all the drying time. I've done a few online courses for Wedi and Kerdi, do you use one of these normally? I want to try one of them out for a shower I'm doing but I'm not sure which, leaning Kerdi. As always, your videos are great, keep up the good work.
Goboard on walls, foam shower pan and curb (pick your favorite brand), "tape" it all up with banding.. and you're ready to role. If I have time I like RedGard, but if I'm only doing a shower and no other tile work on the job then I don't have time to let coats dry, reapply.. wait... etc.
Wonder if this would work with HENRY elastomeric roof coating. Try maybe?
Question? The Sacrete floor mud states that if its not tiled in 24 hours then you have to wait 28 days for it to fully cure. If I have to wait a minimum of 3 days to apply the hydro Ban then do I actually have to wait 28 days to apply and or tile?
We use rubber roofing membrane before we even lay our durok. We put rubber in the corners and on the shower floor before we even lay the mortar for the shower bed.
I don't believe the method described in this video is approved by the NTCA.
The correct method on a wood floor is, cementitious sand mix add sparing water to hold shape when squeezed in hand, 3/4" @ drain, sloped up 1/4" per ft to walls with NO low spots that can puddle water, Let Dry. Install pan liner per manufacturer instructions, finish with the final sand mix, maintaining 1/4" per foot slope, let dry, then tile as per NTCA. (plenty of videos on the process.)
Many people believe tile is water proof, It's NOT. The area behind tile in a shower needs to be waterproofed to keep water inside the area and down INTO the pan liner.
Doesn't deck mud require 28 days to cure? What material do u use that cures fast enough to coat in waterproofing so soon
Can you use this with the pan liner method as well? I did the pre-slope, i have my liner and over the curb and the dry pac on top now. Can i use this over the dry pac now and curb as well?
Do I need to use vinyl under the concrete when using Hydro band
