Pictures of shower pan liner-US and Canadian method - Tile Advice

[Rob Z]

In case anyone is interested, this is a standard way showers are done here in North America. When talking to some of the guys here based in the UK, I learned that possibly this method isn't used anymore and many tilesetters haven't seen this done.

So here are a few photos to show the waterproof liner we install under the floor of the shower, then some photos showing the mud going in on the walls and then the waterproofing sheet continued up from the floor.

Phil I can't get them to load! :mad2::incazzato:

 

[Rob Z]

It says I have too many attachments .... I will clear this up with Dave or Dan. :8:

 

[poynton phil]

check the size of the pics, thats usually the problem

 

[Rob Z]

I downsizd the pictures, Phil, but I think I have too many MB's of photos in total here at the site. I need to get Dave to sort this out for me.

Computers make me :mad2:

pm'd you rob..

OK....let's try again...

Here the Noble Chloraloy CPE pan liner is installed over a sloping mortar base. We started installing lath on the wall for floated walls (render in the UK?)

Here the Noble Company CIS waterproofing membrane is installed over the mortar on the walls, and flashed onto the pan liner and sealed with their waterproofing sealant/glue.

Here we finish the curb with mortar and set blocks in the corner for a footrest/shelf, and cover that with mortar.

Rob - see you're still using chicken wire for the outside floor area. What membrane are you using under it. Is the step made up with a waterproof 'mud'.

Timeless John.

PS I had the same problem with attachments - it would only allow 4.
