It gets thicker toward the shower walls as the shower size gets larger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Embedded in the mortar shower pan base is steel mesh to add reinforcement to the concrete mortar. The purpose of the pre-slope is to enable water to flow towards the drain on the finished tiled shower floor. It also enables water to flow to the drain if the membrane liner was ever to spring a leak, which is nearly impossible to happen if it was installed correctly and with care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The thick PVC shower pan membrane liner is then installed over the pre-slope mortar layer. A hole is cut in it at the shower drain and the sides of the liner are folded into the shower corners. <\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The liner is held in place with roofing nails near the top of the liner, which should sit approximately 6 inches above the shower floor. The roofing nails are nailed into the framing lumber that represents the base of the shower area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A final layer of concrete mortar is then poured over the shower pan membrane liner to complete the mortar shower pan base installation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Note that pea size stones are placed right around the perimeter of the adjustable height drain prior to pouring the final layer of mortar.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/how-to-tile-custom-ceramic-tile-shower-ebook\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3041\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/How_to_Tile_Custom_Ceramic_Tile_Shower_Ebook_Cvr_Pg_1_0-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"HOW TO TILE A CUSTOM CERAMIC TILE SHOWER EBOOK\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/How_to_Tile_Custom_Ceramic_Tile_Shower_Ebook_Cvr_Pg_1_0-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/How_to_Tile_Custom_Ceramic_Tile_Shower_Ebook_Cvr_Pg_1_0.jpg 384w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Learn <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/how-to-tile-custom-ceramic-tile-shower-ebook\/\">How to Tile a Shower<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span> with this eBook.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This prevents the weep holes associated with the adjustable drain assembly from getting clogged by the mortar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The weep holes enable water that may get through the tile and mortar base and down to the membrane liner to drain out the adjustable shower drain assembly. Note that when pouring the final layer of mortar it is important to main the pre-slope pitch towards the drain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Installing Mortar Shower Pan Video\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CXTAkwMqtEc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once the final mortar layer has been poured it is important to adjust the height of the adjustable drain assembly so that the top of it will be flushed with the tiled shower floor surface. You can adjust the drain height by simply turning the top portion of the adjustable drain assembly with your hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This needs to be done while the concrete is still uncured. Once the mortar shower base has had a couple of days to fully cure the shower can then be tiled.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">One final note. It is important during a mortar shower pan base installation that the subfloor be extremely solid with little to no deflection. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When installing a mortar pan shower base on a wood subfloor, there should be a layered approach with the subfloor plywood. For example, exterior grade \u00bd inch plywood should be installed over the base \u00be inch plywood subfloor. Make sure that both layers of plywood are screwed tightly to each other and the floor joists.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3045\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Tile_shower-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Ceramic tile shower and shower floor\" width=\"229\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Tile_shower-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Tile_shower-1.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This will help to minimize any deflection so that there is no risk of the ceramic floor tiles becoming loose and the mortar shower base failing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">For information on installing a mortar shower base using a membrane liner for a ceramic tile shower<\/span><\/strong>, see the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/shower-pan-membrane-ebook\/\">Shower Pan Membrane Liner Installation Ebook<\/a><\/strong><\/span> from HomeAdditionPlus.com.\u00a0 The Shower Pan Membrane Liner EBook will quickly teach you the step-by-step process for installing the shower pan membrane liner correctly.
