I'm installing a neo-angle shower kit over a plywood sub-floor. The instructions state to use mortar or plaster to level the base. Is the correct way to lay the mortar bed directly on the plywood or use a non-permeable membrane like tar paper or 6 mil plastic on top of the plywood first? No where in the instructions does it mention to fasten the base to the framing, which I'm assuming is because of the potential of cracking the base if it flexes. So all the rigidity of the base is relying on the mortar leveling bed, that's why I'm not sure about compromising any bond between the mortar and plywood, but also not sure about laying a mortar directly on the plywood and having it absorb the moisture.
Maybe you can tile the face of the ready made shower kit. Are you tiling the walls of the shower? For your install I think you are just trying to get the base on a level surface.
This will infill the tiny gaps in the shower pan. If you want to work on it quickly you could buy a bag of Ardex X32 as the mortar to set the base. If you just wanted to level the area you could use some seal gasket or edge strip kit strips to make a perimeter and then go the self levelling route.
That would be my least favourite option. Generally, you want something on the plywood to prevent it from sucking the moisture out of whatever you use to level the pan before it can cure assuming it is a cement based product.
Add construction adhesive to help hold the material in place. Staple the top of the liner in place at least 2 inches above the shower pan. Fold the material neatly, and staple it over the top and front edge of the neo-angle curb. Apply dam corners, which resemble dress shoulder pads, where the curbs meet the walls. Brush a bonding agent recommended by the manufacturer onto the back of each dam corner; press it into place, and press firmly on its top with a roller.
Return to the drain, and cut the pan liner flush with the inner edge of the drain. Place the clamping ring on top of the hole and turn it counter-clockwise, Oatey recommends.
After it locks into place, tighten the bolts. This world adventurer and travel book author, who graduates summa cum laude in journalism from the University of Maryland, specializes in travel and food -- as well as sports and fitness.
