This is fantastic. Thanks for taking time to share your install. Very well explained.

If I am putting down a subflooring over my whole floor couldn't I just sit my shower pan in the old floor because it would be lower?

I want to do this but my question is, is there a reason why you didn't you take less off the joists for newbies like me?! Thank you

That shock at 5:49 was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you have a video on how to install a shower panel with type of shower

Just batten screw 90x45mm to the joists and use one 19mm layer of ply on top. Will save your client heaps of money, give a smoother and better finish, and save 2mm in not using your brackets.

In this example, how or could you do this with the floor joist running the opposite direction? In my case the floor joist (I Joist) is running the opposite direction of how my shower needs to be placed.

With the "I" joist running perpendicular to the drain, I suggest you put the drain at the entry. At the back wall you would need to cut into the joist and that is not recommended. As well I would use the "ProLine", stainless drain not the "Showerline" PVC. The stainless drain is more shallow.

Thank you for your video Steve. What about when you have the scenario with I-Joists, I'm assuming you could no longer utilize a linear drain in this case, or the only solution would be to have the linear drain installed parallel with the I-Joist.

Yes the TJI joists would have to run parallel to the drain, or place the drain at the threshold and slope from the back wall.

That thing is going to leak like crazy.

Why did you use 2 sheets of drywall on the bench? I've never heard of that before.

@LightGesture

Moreover, looking at it, I don't see how that could possibly have been waterproofed with that second sheet of drywall... that gap wasn't waterproofed, then you slid the drain in to it... unless you squished a topical waterproof membrane into the slot and hoped it got 100% of the exposed gypsum etc, then I don't see how you can guarantee it be waterproofed.

Is there any reason why i couldn't put my linear drain where you walk into the shower (normally where the curb is) instead of at the back of the shower?

@LightGesture

4 жыл бұрын

In this applicationi, the linear shower drain would be running at an angle, and it would not drain properly. The only other way to do this would be put it in the center, then slope from both walls inwards, or put it all the way to the shower trim side and slope it in the opposite direction. However, I'm not even sure how that'll work, because I would assume there was a glass wall in this application on the left side, opposite the bench.

i never saw you actually install the waterproof membrane........also never saw actual finished product......i want to see how you finished that triangular edge that dives into the floor .......is this a schluter type pan/membrane ??? because i didnt see you install a sub drain either

@stevetat4980

Жыл бұрын

Typically I paint on a liquid waterproofing. This being a steam I used the Schluter membrane over the QuickDrain slope panels. Walls and ceiling were also wrapped in membrane. The triangle wedge I filled with tile at the bench end and filled the rest with grout. The Prism grout is bomb proof. As long as the membrane overlaps the PVC drain all the water goes down the drain. No sub drain. I have photos I'll see if I can attach them somehow. FYI that house burned to the ground in the Marshall fire outside Boulder this time last year. Shame

Using drywall screws to attach the brackets - the only thing holding up your subfloor - is not a great idea. Those screws are not structural.

Nice demonstration! Though I don't see the benefit of the rapid recess brackets vs adding 2x4 ledgers on regular 2x joists. I can see it being of more value on the engineered joists where you would have to do more work to add 2x ledgers. You seem like a good conscientious craftsman. I appreciate good folks who take extra time to make sure it's done right even if it winds up coming out of their bottom line.
