Frequently Asked Questions

Proper framing blocking, backing, and drain installation are needed before we can mop your pan.

Mud-set, DenShield, Hardi-Backer, Dura-Rock, or WonderBoard cement backer units (just to name a few) can be used for your tile backing, and they must overlap the hot mop. Check your local codes for these requirements; usually, the lap must be a minimum of 2 inches.

Most Areas Are Now Requiring That:

  • 1 All lining material must be pitched ¼ per foot to weep holes in the 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 be 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.)

Note: Please Check Your Local Building Department for Their Requirements.
