DK Shower Pans

About the Hot Mopping Process.....

Start to finish same day usually 1-hour after completion and you can fill your pan with water for inspection!

• No delays help production time.
  
• Hot mopping provides multi-layer protection!
  
• 4 layers of asphalt and 3 layers of 15 lb. felt
  
• Offers more protection then with single ply systems.
  
• No waiting between coats as with some cold applied methods.
  
• No folds, special pieces, splicing, or glues needed at dams, corners, laps, or seams - all areas bond together to form a one piece unit.
  
• A clear advantage over pvc and other one piece liner methods.
  
• Hot-mop conforms to any shape and size with 100% integrity.
  
  

Hot-mopped shower pans have been used and have proved their dependability and durability throughout the country but especially in California with a 60+ year track record!

WHAT BUILDING CODES NEED TO BE MET?

Please first check your local building department for their requirements

Most areas are now requiring that:

1. All lining material must be pitched ¼ per foot to weep holes in the sub-drain by means of a smooth solidly formed sloping sub-base.

2. The membrane must extend up the side walls and rough jambs of the shower, to a point not less than 3 inches above the finished dam or threshold. It must also extend outward over the top of the rough dam and fastened to the outside of the rough dam and jamb.

3. Weep holes must be clear of obstructions

4. A water test is required (usually 24 hrs)

WHY WORRY ABOUT THE SHOWER PAN SO MUCH?

So much time and thought is put into protecting the outside of your house from water entering and for good purpose - water causes damage, sometimes extensive damage, especially in the cases of a slow leaking shower pan which can become a breeding ground for unhealthy molds and toxins that can go undetectable for months or even years. Left unchecked, slow, almost non-existent drips can cause wood to rot, drywall to crumble and molds to form. Repairs can run into thousands of dollars in repairs.

An average shower uses 25 gallons of water. That's thousands of gallons a year! Water penetrates the shower (especially were the floor meets the wall) and reaches your shower pan liner to drain to the weep holes at the drain. If you are lucky enough to have a hot mopped shower pan liner then you don't have to worry.

Water in - water out; a tried and true system.

That liner is your best defense against water intrusion that can damage your house. Even the smallest leak over time can cause major problems. Let DK SHOWERPANS give you the ultimate protection - for your home as well as for construction jobs.

Quality product and service - a proven track record (over 40,000 pans completed from 2005 to 2007) you will receive that and more.
