Smallest Basement Shower Remodel
What happens here
The Schluter-KERDI shower pan, specifically designed for direct tile application, is installed. First, the drain flange is connected to the existing drain pipe using PVC primer and cement. Thin-set mortar (CustomBlend) is mixed to a consistent, thick paste-like consistency, and spread onto the concrete subfloor using a 1/4 inch notched trowel. The pre-sloped shower pan is then carefully pressed into the thin-set, ensuring full contact and proper drainage toward the central drain. A pre-fabricated Schluter curb is also installed at the shower entrance, secured with thin-set mortar.
Goal: A Schluter-KERDI shower pan is installed directly over the concrete subfloor, ensuring a sloped surface for drainage. The associated drain and curb are also set using thin-set mortar.
