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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The thick 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A final layer of concrete is then poured over the membrane liner to complete the mortar shower pan 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.\u00a0This prevents the weep holes associated with the drain from becoming clogged by the mortar.<\/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;\">The weep holes enable water that may get through the tile and mortar and down to the membrane liner to still drain out the drain assembly.

It is important when installing a mortar shower pan that the subfloor must be extremely solid with little to no deflection. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If installing a shower mortar pan 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.
