Our bathroom floor system is Shluter. They specifically cut the sloped pan for our curbless shower. Works perfectly. I wouldn't say we have a high-end home but we did splurge on a heated floor that goes into the shower. It's deluxe. The wires go right between the orange nubs. Similar to how this shower turns out, except we had the valve on the opposite end of the shower as the shower head and it automatically sets to the temp you want.

The Tile Coach has demonstrated that all-set mortar is water permeable and so it can get through your taping seams via capillary action. Seal your tape seams with Rapid Set Hybrid Silane Polyether Non-Sag Adhesive to get a truly waterproof shower tray.

It is about $8.50 a tube at HD vs almost $30 for the Kerdi brand, which still leaks. The adhesive needs to flow easy so that it seeps way down into the the felt of the membrane. Thicker adhesives don't do this and allow a path for moisture through the fibers of the felt. Here is the link where I got my information.

Tile ready shower pans are far superior to anything like this.

Tile coach showed us you need to hydroban over all that. Thinset slowly absorbs water, the system depends on you the owner to only take short showers and have it dry out everytime. But if for whatever reason and its not your personal master shower that only you use, and the whole family is nuking this shower every 3 hours. That conatant water will eventually go through the entire thinset corners.

The drain should be to the wall so u don’t end up with that tiny rip of tile behind the drain. Looks great tho!
