How To Build A Curbless Shower

Подробнее о видео

Remember that scene in John Wick where he breaks through his basement floor to get to some gold coins- well I’m not John Wyck but I can show you how to put in a curbless shower.
First, I build a wood box the same dimensions as the shower floor.
The guys pour the concrete on the inside of the box level with the bottom, and on the outside of the box level with the top.
This way the floor of the shower ends up being two-and-a-half inches lower, and my tile guy has room to slope to the drain without needing a curb.
Not only will this give us a clean modern look, but it will make it easier to get in and out of- especially for someone that’s elderly.
We all know The New Guy’s not getting any younger.
Speaking of The New Guy, he actually stopped by to check in on me.
I told him I could really use his help breaking through this concrete to get to the drain underneath.
He said he would love to- but unfortunately, he had a dentist’s appointment and needed to take off.
Now we could’ve stubbed a pipe right through the floor, but my plumber thought it’d be better to leave it cut off underneath this we he could put the drain exactly centered and at the right height in the shower.
We’ll glue a trap on this pipe and fill around it with cement when we get ready to install the shower.
In the meantime, I put a scrap of OSB over it, so no one breaks their ankle.
The guys started framing this week, so make sure to like and follow to see more of this build. @hausplans
