[QUOTE="Brian_West, post: 958237, member: 52127"] So I’ve just laid my dry mortar bed for a sloped shower. It slopes to one side towards a Kerdi line linear drain. The mortar bed turned out well I think (first one ever). It’s good and solid and the slope is right. However I thought I was erring on the side of caution by leaving the height of the bed about 4mm lower than necessary below the drain edge. I’m faced with having to lay thinset (compressed height 5mm) then ditra heat, then another 5mm thinset (compressed) on top before finally tile on top. So essentially looking at using a 10mm notched trowel to lay the thinset instead of a 6mm. Have I created a problem here or am I worrying about nothing. I have read threads about trying to raise the height of a mortar bed but it doesn’t seem to be recommended. [/QUOTE]
