You needed to put a morter/sand mixture before you put your liner down and slope it towards the drain so that the water will move to the drain. that's really important, if not the water's not going to drain properly. Note: I was wrong on the mixture being put down BEFORE the liner. I was wrong. I helped put my shower floor in and forgot in what order we did it. My apologies!

Negative slope can lead to a condensating liner, most will think its leaking but its just holding water and due to separate temperatures the liner sweats like a glass of ice water on a hot day. Where im at a 24hr leak test is mandatory and the code inspector guy will pull the drain to test its drainage. If no water in pan when he arrives you fail if pan holds water after drain okug is renoved you fail. Never use silicone. The drain flange is made to seal warertight with only the liner as the gasket. Plus the way the drain is made if the tile fails and water gets under the tile the drains are made to weep the tiniest amount of water back down the drain. Using silicone fills in the depressions that would create this weep drain.......this guy should of called a pro

I’m a tile contractor and i do new shower pans all the time. This method works but it’s so old school and no matter how good you fold those corners the base of the tile wall always bows out. I have been using pre sloped and pre waterproofed pans made from high density foam. The brand I use most is Schluter. Still have to do some waterproofing once pan is secured but it’s tile ready.

Don't listen to these people, this will work for about 10 yrs give or take a few. The only legit criticism ive seen is the sloping for proper drainage, and my 2 cents would be much more silicone around the drain, 6-8" of the entire outer radius. However, you could've got 2 birds with 1 foam covering the entire cement floor. Regardless, doing it yourself is always better than hiring out, even if you get it wrong the first time.

I had a glass contractor screw into the curb wich created a small leak that eventully made the 2x4's swell up. As a result a grout joint cracked and a tile popped causing more water to infultrate. Since then I started to make my curbs out of concrete. If you demo a really old shower it will have concrete curbs and floaed concrete walls.

I would recommend not using a wood curb. Instead pour/ form a concrete or Sand/ concrete mix form w/ a single piece of #3 pencil rebar. For those anal retentive clients, epoxy coat the rebar prior to placing in the pour/ mix and dowel the ends into the ends of the framing . The pan material is fold up into the middle of the form and cut about 3/4" below the top of the pour." Your method now will require to apply durrock on the sides and top of the curb and now srewing durrock screws thru your pan material. Even applying a waterproof coating, its not 100% waterproof. They sometimes fail over time.

I’m a tile contractor and i do new shower pans all the time. This method works but it’s so old school and no matter how good you fold those corners the base of the tile wall always bows out. I have been using pre sloped and pre waterproofed pans made from high density foam. The brand I use most is Schluter. Still have to do some waterproofing once pan is secured but it’s tile ready.

Save some money and float the pan then use schluter sheet membrane for waterproofing . Stronger then foam pan and you don’t get the build up of a vinyl liner . You can still use foam wall board or sheet membrane over drywall
At that stage you test if it works by plugging the drain and filling it with water to see that it is not leaking.

I understand what your doing. The rubber liner is filled with sand and Portland mix. The the tile. Yes.

It works fine. You just need to add pressure or clamp it some how till it sets up. The pan liner glue tho works way better. Its got a cool green color too.
I usually use a scrap piece of 2x4 to define the corners .looks good 👍
Don't listen to these people, this will work for about 10 yrs give or take a few. The only legit criticism ive seen is the sloping for proper drainage, and my 2 cents would be much more silicone around the drain, 6-8" of the entire outer radius. However, you could've got 2 birds with 1 foam covering the entire cement floor. Regardless, doing it yourself is always better than hiring out, even if you get it wrong the first time.
Close, but sorry that will leak. I'm a long time pro & tile teacher. If you do an overnight water test filled up to curb level as you should, it will immediately teach you how you need to fold & glue corners better. I promise that leaks. Also needs a preslope to drain the mud so the pan doesn't stink in a couple years from saturated lower mud

@@chrismartin7747 If I had to guess I would say that I have built 50 showers over the past 25 years. Early in my career I would make my curbs out of stacked 2x4's and wrap them in cement board. I had a glass contractor screw into the curb wich created a small leak that eventully made the 2x4's swell up. As a result a grout joint cracked and a tile popped causing more water to infultrate. Since then I started to make my curbs out of concrete. If you demo a really old shower it will have concrete curbs and floaed concrete walls.
It also looked like he had Doug fir wood on concrete instead of pressure treated lumber. Dryrot forsure. And yes you should have used mortar to create a slope to your weep holes on the Caspar drain fitting
well done … i worked as a tile setters helper for a few years as a young man and i can set simple layouts but ive dry packed countless shower pans professionally and you nailed it for sure ! after we finished the pan, we would plug the weep holes in the drain & mark a water line and fill it up to that point & let it sit overnight to check for leaks before adding dry pack mortar
Did you test it?
Use treated lumber for the curb. Always.
So is this what you're putting down before the pan?
If you’d had tested it you’d know if it leaks. I knotch the studs the tuck my rolls in flat so the dura-rock sits flat.
How long do you think this will last?
If it starts to leak, it will be from staple clips, and the liner should be about 2-3 ft from floor to sides of the walls to avoid leakage. Also, make sure you use silicone sealer. 😊

No slope to drain before the liner?
Liner is out dated/ only builder grade where problems dont appear after 4-5 years after the warranty is out. Easiest waterproofing but people still manage to get this shiet installed wrong. Just build the slope, thinset on the kerdi membrane or some other brand and wrap the curb, best bet
Im doing the same project right now!I got few good ideas from you thanks.
Even if it leaks thankfully your on concrete it won’t rot
Is there a full tutorialon this?
It always holds water in-between the rubber pan and mortar every time I remove one that's why we use schluter products for all our shower installs
Just buy a prefab pan and curb, might cost some more dollars but the install is so easy.
I would recommend not using a wood curb. Instead pour/ form a concrete or Sand/ concrete mix form w/ a single piece of #3 pencil rebar. For those anal retentive clients, epoxy coat the rebar prior to placing in the pour/ mix and dowel the ends into the ends of the framing . The pan material is fold up into the middle of the form and cut about 3/4" below the top of the pour." Your method now will require to apply durrock on the sides and top of the curb and now srewing durrock screws thru your pan material. Even applying a waterproof coating, its not 100% waterproof. They sometimes fail over time.
Back in my remodeling says we’d take it a step up and cover at least 4 feet up the wall not only the bottom pan.
Looks good
I have done lots of those style shower pans and you did great. Smile and wave
Nice job. I did tile for the last 8 years, and that's almost exactly how we did it.
If it doesn't leak then you did fine. Best of luck with rest of your project 😊
It won't leak but it also won't drain properly. On top of a concrete subfloor, you'll be alright. Just don't do this on any other substrate.

I’ve done many showers and 1 time used the schluter system but feel much better having a hot mopper come in can’t beat the price and piece of mind
Looks good but test it to make sure with a blow up ball. I like how you put the dog ears by the curb and the pre-fab corners are more than needed for a rectangle shower but whatever. The corners are used when you have to cut an inside corner and that’s when I try to get them to sluder the shower and then the liability is on the tile guy.😀
I know it’s a pvc liner, but they actually make a pan liner glue!! I’m sure it worked though.. everything else looks good
Osi quad the floor corners and edges, Red gaurd, then mud pack, then red gaurd again. No need for the liner any more. Much better for cleaner tile lay.
The problem is way will sit in the bottom of the pan causing mold and odor. The proper way to do this would have been to do a pre-slope so the water that makes its way to the pan liner slopes towards the drain.
Should preslope the bed before pvc liner other than that looks good enough for me. This is usually how they are done by the time i get to em cuz the gc doesnt want to wait for the tile guys to preslope just get the plumber in there and get it inspected...
Great job!
That's Old School, it's works though. I would've went with sealed system though, not a water in water out system. Those weep holes will clog. waterproof boards on the walls then dry pack for shower pan and an flowfx drain . Then waterproof sheet membrane and seam tape on shower pan for waterproofing. Or a prefabbed shower pan.Lot less work.
No pre-slope and that’s a hell of a lot of buildup for that curb corner, Even if it leaks, it’s not like it’s gonna destroy the cement floor
You did pretty good for not being a plumber. But that one piece on the threshold is unnecessary if you do it correctly. But it looks like it'll hold water to me. 👍 Good job
Pan liner glue is contact cement, you dont do it wet, you have to wait for it to dry out first and get tacky before you push it together. RIP shower pan.
Is your floor even leveled to the point where it’s on a slope so the water can run to the drain it’s not just perfectly flat is it?
Bro stables his pan liner. I've never heard of that shit but it sounds counterintuitive to punch holes in the thing you're trying to keep water tight.
The corners are the toughest parts to get correct
Don’t use silicone. Use butyl water block under membrane at drain ring. This is proven on water proofing systems. Fold corners, no,no,no cuts
I always pour a concrete curb in 2 stages, after the slope float and primary curb pour, install liner on slope float, curb and run liner all the way to the lid
Aren’t you supposed to cut the drain hole in the liner so it over laps slightly down into the drain as well? I’m about to redo my shower too so to the people who have done it already, tell me common mistakes not to make. Thx!
Red guard also works really well though it stinks!

Bro those curb corner cuts is a no go. There is a way to install without cutting. Folding is your best friend. Let the tile installer worry about the looks. You want easy corners, leave the liner out in the sun for a few minutes or hours depending on sun, ☀️ and then it’s easier to fold…

Liner adhesive works best for around the drain..... also a pre-float would've been ideal.. that way if water does get to the liner it drains instead of just sitting there.. overkill is underrated
Looks ok to me. Looked like there was a pre slope. Stapled high and glued. Maybe better than most tile installers working new construction tract homes.
One wrap and do your corners right so you dont bow out the durarock at the bottom anymore than it already does. Keep the nails 6 inches high or staples
Clog the drain and flood it before you continue. Looks good though
Commend you for trying, but there are way more effective and faster systems out there. Its been 20 yrs since ive used this system. Plus your drain is the highest point in the shower.
Great job
Hopefully you put a pre slope before that pan liner
Oh our house, we found out that original builder or owner did not do this. Nothing was under tile. But a massive hole where drain was. So whatever didn’t drain snd spilled over when into the wall and our room. It’s been a fun redo, sarcasm. We ended up putting a tub in instead. Obviously we fixed everything first. But it was a pain
