Will a TileRedi base support the weight of a power chair? It weighs around 420 lbs empty and almost all of the weight is supported on the two pneumatic wheels. Each wheel is about 2” wide. I’m remodeling to a curb less shower.

I got a floor problem With curbless shower floor, I need to float the floor, the questIon os should i level the floor before or after the backer board?

I have a post below with this same photo and me musing over the solution. Not happy with the solution but maybe I'm overthinking how to fix this. The mismatch is on both sides with this one at 1/2" and the other around 3/8" so if I just glue on pieces of the wallboard I'll then have extra thickness of an 1/8" on one side.

I was wondering if I should just change the bullnose trim and replace it with a 90 down to the curb and transition to an L-bead the rest of the run and just tile up to it? Try to blend the 1/8" thickness into the 6" wide piece of drywall. It has a switch and door trim on it so I'm wondering how the added 1/8" will affect the upper section of that piece of drywall.

Additional advice is appreciated

I bought a Tile Redi barrier free pan, not yet installed. The city’s building inspector is saying there is an issue with the pan meeting code. The main issues are that the top of the drain inlet must be 2” minimum below the “top of the dam” meaning the floor level. And that the pan has to hold 9.6 gallons of water- "The finished shower receptor shall be capable of containing a minimum of 9.6 gallons above the top of the drain inlet without spilling over the finished shower threshold.” I did a test and the pan only holds about 6 gallons and the drain is not 2" deep.

Tile Redi told me the pan is up to all codes and there is no problem. I am confused.

I'm doing a shower over a wood subfloor. Issac in videos says to put down plastic with a galvanized lath stapled over the plastic. Do you run the plastic and lath up the sides also? Thx in advance

I have an existing Curbed shower.

I need to convert it to a curbless shower. I have neuropathy in all 4 limbs from exposure to agent orange in Biên Hoa Vietnam. I have no balance and I'm afraid of falling.

My existing home and shower exist on a slab. Is it possible to convert my curbed shower to curbless?

Please advise.

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

Hi, I need help rebuilding a shower pan on a snail type shower. The pan has held up for 30 years but I need to repair a plumbing leak which requires taking down tile that is connected with the pan. The enclosure has a glass block structure that will need rebuilding.

What is the best type of pan installation to use that won't leak if I rebuild it with a radius. It's on a 2nd floor with plywood base.

Your Youtube channel has so much great info. Thought I'd seek your thoughts.
