Questions & Answers

Hi,

I am building out a 48x48" walk in shower with a fixed glass wall on one side. The glass would be 48x~70 give or take a little. I want to use the kerdi deco-sg u channel on top of the curb and in the adjacent wall. I was trying to figure out the proper way to slope this. For the huge fixed glass, we obviously prefer it level, but we also need that slope to let water drain into the pan. While trying to research this, I'm not finding any videos of people using deco sg on top of a curb.

Is this just a bad idea? Is there a better way to support this this glass without drilling, while also keeping the frameless look?

could anyone tell what could cause tile to crack this way?

Hello,

I know this forum is mostly about showers and waterproofing, but does anyone in here know anything about Saltillo tile?

I was about to tile my fireplace and I decided to rip up the white floor tile on the hearth because it was cracking. This floor tile was cracking in several places all over the room. So I pulled it up (it came up easily) and found Saltillo tile underneath. So now I'm on a side quest of restoring the Saltillo.

A previous homeowner had just installed tile over it and carpet over other parts of it. I'm pretty sure it's original to the house. Luckily the person who installed the tile over it did not use anything but mortar, so the Saltillo came out mostly unscathed.

My parents have a floor buffer so I borrowed that and used Ecolab and Zep stripper with the black pads. I got…

I am building a curbless shower. I hired a professional to hotmop the the pan. It is a second-floor OSB subfloor. I recessed the floor a few inches for a pre-slope, hot-mop, and then an inch of deck mud. When he did the hot-mop, he extended the hotmop about a 18 inches onto the bathroom floor. How do I tile that? I was planning to use Ditra as an uncoupling membrane. I was going to put the ditra on up to the curbless edge, put in the deck mud to make it even with the Ditra. How do I bond the ditra to the hotmop overlap? I cannot find an example or solid suggestions.
