Any problems using the Durock or Kerdi membrane with this base? I assume not as it is just bonded to the base with thinset.
Also, can you use either the Kerdi or Durock drain with this?
Finally, what is the thickness of the furring strip you used?
Thank you for this video, I am going to use the KBRS shower basin on my next shower remodeling job.WEDI also makes a shower Basin called WEDI "One Step" Have you worked with the Wedi Basin and please compare with KBRS Basin. Thanks.
Being in Construction , Flat work mostly there are many options but seem so clear as to what is best, Its obvious if you been doing it your whole life , its all trial and error . Like black top vs concrete vs pavers . I have did so much research as I have a bathroom gutted waiting to get waterproofed , pan and tiled . Im pretty good with the tile but so worried about the waterproofing so I been going back and forth . Now I discover this pan and really lost. There is schluter, wedi, mud job , hot mopping , red guard etc etc etc.. so I came up with another option, a steam shower.
My question to all of you is price vs all ways possible and steam shower included what do you feel is the best way. I mean If I go redi pan with bench and a niche then tile and fittings Im probably looking at $3000-$4000? and alot of labor
$1500 pan and doors 300-500 for fittings 100 sqft tile minimum $1000? cement board $500 ,pluming ? are these prices accurate I can sheetrock walls and get steam shower ( a good one) for $3500 $100 IN Sheet rock and 100 in paint done deal ..being this shower is on second floor and my living room is under the bathroom , Im petrified of it leaking can some help with their opinions , Thanks
I am placing the pan on a concrete radiant floor that is above a finished garage. Does the drain need to be supported in any way? I have a 4-5” square hole in the concrete and I have access to the plumbing from inside the garage. Thanks for any help
You covered filling the recessed area around the drain flange with mud, however you didn't say anything about protecting the weep holes. Isn't that important, because without them, it seems like moisture seeping down through the mud would pool at the bottom of that well with no way to escape?
Thanks for the video. While it uses a standard shower drain, it is not installed the standard way. Normally, the flange will sit up on its standoffs, about 1/2 inch, to allow the pre-slope mud to go underneath it. With the KRBS system, as you show in the video, the flange hole is cut oversize so that it sits flush to the subfloor. I'd be sure to test fit the pan before gluing the flange, because if it doesn't work out for some reason, once the flange is installed that way, it's difficult to change your mind and go with a mud job instead.
I have a new construction where the bathroom is up on the mezzanine level. Floor in mezzanine is concrete. Where the Tile Basin will be placed, we core drilled to align the drain hole in concrete with the Tile Basin's drain hole. The question I have is that in the video, the shower drain is secured to the plywood substrate with screws. What do you to secure the shower drain when the substrate is a concrete floor? The shower drain will be glued to the pvc drain pipe that comes up through the hole in the concrete and Tile Basin will be secured to concrete with modified thin set. Is that sufficient so that the shower drain does not need to be secured further?
what drain did you use with the custom grate?
Looks good so far.
Very informative looks like a very durable product
