Tile shower pan built in the traditional way work fine and mortar years. The key to a waterproof shower waterproof membrane is installed correctly. For a shower without problems, the membrane lining must be right. A key for the operation of membrane is the first layer of mortar.

Some installers only use one layer of mortar to the building of showers. The best way though is the use two layers of mortar. Here's why.

The real trick of the shower tile membrane is water resistant coating that is installed on the basis of the shower of mortar. Now you can put in the basement membrane, attach it to the flight and then stayed at the base of the tile mortar. Here's the problem ...

If the covering membrane is flat or worse, if you have some slack to it, that's a pool in manufacturing. This is a swimming pool on the floor of the shower. See shower floors are not waterproof. Especially the grout into the soil let water through. That water seeps into the mortar to the bottom of the waterproof membrane. Membrane Routes Special drainage water.

If the coating forms a pool that is the perfect place for mold to start. Mold can grow and actually fill the shower whole. In addition, a shower base is subject to constantly wet slowly release. This is a bad situation twice.

To avoid accumulation of water into the base of the shower, the covering membrane must be sloped to the drain. In this way all the water that reaches the membrane only flows down to the drain and out of the shower.

That's where the two layers of mortar are important.

The first layer of mortar is put down right on the ground and inclined to 1 / 4 inch per foot right down the drain holes in the shower drain. The liner is sealed to the drainage base and go. The liner is thus in the proper slope and sealed to catch all the water that becomes the base of the shower.

Masonry layer pre-slope is critical to shower pans are constructed of tile to last. It is a simple step and should be part of a shower that is properly constructed. floor of the shower, of course, only allow some water through soil. The membrane coating is the trick to get rid of that water. Take time to get the liner the right way.
