Shower Waterproofing

Hey everyone,

I am planning on self performing the work for a new construction curb less shower in my home. My wife and I would like to use Micro Cement. I want to use the Micro Cement on the shower walls, and floors of the entire bathroom. Does anyone have experience with this type of install? Am I approaching it right?

Here are some details and my plans:

• Wood subfloor

• Shower pan; Planning on a dry pack shower pan with FloFX FlowFx drain. install tar paper and metal lath under deck mud for adherence to wood subfloor.

• Walls; Cement board backer

• Waterproofing; FloFx waterproofing membrane that will extend out of the shower area 12"

• Main bathroom floor; FloFx uncoupling membrane with micro cement on top.

• Micro Cement Brand: SureCrete MicroTek with a waterproof sealer on top.

Questions;

• Are there concerns with the micro cement cracking over the uncoupling membrane?

• Some people recommend embedding fiberglass mesh in the micro cement to add strength. Is this necessary and what mesh to use?

Thanks in advance!
