Thanks Isaac! I’m making my 5th bathroom and your videos answer many questions . Last one was a solid slab shower with lineal drain. This one is a large wet room.
Fantastic help! I tore out my shower and am rebuilding it. Your videos are so helpful! Thank you and God Bless you Isaac
Thanks for showing how to use those pre-formed corners.
Love that you share your knowledge. Isaac, you are a good man.
Old Orange County ca tile setter !!, nice videos !! Hot mop is still the best !! , Your a good mechanic !! , it’s good to see !! Thanks , Rick
Love the attitude! When you still want to keep learning, then you are on your way to doing a great job!
I had a shower installer use concrete bricks instead of 2x4 at the opening. Pretty much the same after that. In retrospect, seeing wood rot, bricks is a great idea.
Nice detail with your shower liner. I remember when you used to tar your old showers.
I like when tradesmen can admit there may be a better way. I learn something every day
Just subscribed to your channel, absolutely love your stuff man. I've been involved in construction for several years and love to see people take joy in their work!!!
Thanks for the info man my boss asked me to tile his bathroom and I haven’t done tile in 6 years (been a concrete guy since). Putting in the membrane right now appreciate the video
Best illustration of using those corner thingies that I've seen yet. Well done!
Thank you for sharing. Your knowledge is not falling on deaf ears.
Thanks Isaac! I laid down my slope layer and pan yesterday. Going to float walls today!
Thanks for the step by step explanations. I'm a DIY'er tackling a shower rebuild for the first time. It started as regrouting the floor, we all know how that goes. I've watched a few videos here and yours is the only one that fully explains how the corner protectors are installed. Thanks again.
Thank you for your video. First time doin this and your saving my life right now!
Nice work. I can’t wait to work on my shower. And thanks for teaching me.
I would love a buy list in your notes! Thank you, your videos make me feel that I can do this myself!
Our constructive method in Brazil is different, full of freshness, Admire and study the American methods and I regret that this type of input so simple adopted in America does not reach my country and when it arrives has prohibitive prices. I study your methods and create parallel alternatives to our reality with items common to our daily lives. Registered now
Nice corner detail. I get the liner stapled in place then make my cuts and glue in the corner, but I like your way better, the way it overlaps.
That video was very helpful you made it look so easy which I'm sure it's not .I wish I could find someone as talented in my area to work on my shower
Nice folding work on those curb corners I do exactly the same.
I watch your channel always good to learn more updated!!!
believe that's don't work we'll like this's back wall folding side wall's under the curb cutting extra material make much better work like that
Great video. Alot better than the others I watched for this drain. Great job, I feel very good about installing it now
Thank you coach. Im new to shower pans but i love the trades and definitely need help/ guidance at times,
Tile Coach you're the BOSS! Thank you for all the tutorials. I have a right sloping drain on 5 foot tub I want to replace with a walk-in shower pan. The current drain plumbing on the far right is about 8 inches from the wall. How do I slope the pan back to the drain?
Thanks for everything man I feel better and doing this myself. I love people like you who don’t gatekeeper trade knowledge. Thank you so much keep it up!
@@raymondmaglaris4149 You dont. You put a mortar bed over that liner first. Let it dry. Then tile goes on mortar bed.
I swear we're the only plumbers with socket sets
Thank you 4 your videos...I'm tryng to convert my tub shower in to a walk in so I'm watching all your videos related to this.
Fantastic presentation! Great video angles, excellent explanation of the process! 🏆
Thanks for the way you do your curbs, that's what I was looking for.
Mine are always fat because I keep more of the liner...
P.S.... a faster way of cutting out your bolts and drain hole..., cut a cris-cross +.. across the top of the bolts and they just pop right through.
And then cut your drain the same way, Then drop the flange down, and follow your direction of tightening down the bolts. You have no waste, and you have a tighter seal with all the liner getting pinned between the flanges!
I strictly use Schluter products from the pan to the wall boards and niches and curbs. You can install and start tiling that same day except the curbs because you have to allow to dry. I have been tiling for since 2013 and still learning the way they change and improve their products. Good to see how the old way is done since I'm taking over a homeowner attempt at the shower pan, which is this rubber membrane. Vary helpful thank you.
Yup... .. but... purple board? If your gonna do a shower...do it right. Who uses drywall anymore? I get called to rip it out. Now u know why. It's a moisture wick.
Thank goodness for CZcams, It's job security for me. I'll be behind these guys
@@TileCoach no way that purple moisture resistant drywall will last 10 years max or full 1 water leak...that would not fly in my area can't use drywall products in wet areas at all its only protected 1 side.
@@marcfavell Dude, it was a perfectly fine PAN install. And No, he didn't have to use the PAN liner to go over the bench.
This was not a video of the water proofing of the shower. If it had been I would be right there with you. However, if I were to do this, I would use Kerdi or Redguard membrane over the drywall and bench to drain into the pan. However, for the purposed of this video he didn't show the rest of the shower install.
@@qball3835must be nice to just blow time and money for a video not properly done then. Myabe his company charges so much that they can just afford extra liner material???
Thank you for making these videos! I'm not able to do this kind of work myself, but just seeing how it's done will be very helpful when choosing a contractor. (We'd love to hire YOU, but we're in Oregon!)
I installed mine on a rainy day so I through it the dryer 1st to heat it up worked great
I replace a few showers a year that have been done like this. I used to curse at this. Now, it’s job security! Thanks man!!
Awesome,SPECTACULAR, Beautiful Handiwork excellent workmanship.
"Sometimes its a little tricky" that is the nicest I've ever heard that said..
You do great jobs for tile industry, thanks 🙏
Finally a real tile setter and a real mud set pan. Only suggestion 24 hr. water test.
Once you’ve done it a handful of time with no failure. You know these are good, it’s extremely hard to pierce the liner. Where’s the water going to go? Clients want the job done yesterday. If there no inspection there’s no need. If it’s liquid applied or sealant than yes always water test.
Great video! A trick I picked up, is to just cut an “X” over the drain hole and fold the liner flaps down into the drain. The ring will ensure they stay folded down. Just an extra measure.
The ring will not hold the pan down. I am also failing to see what extra protect that is providing. Also putting the silicone on the bottom flange of the drain before having the pan i place seems like a bad idea as well. Cutting the hole out for the drain properly allows you to lift the pan after it is secured to the walls and apply the silicone exactly where it is needed.
I guess if you cut. Perfect O the theory is water may run back under it as it drains. Who knows
@@vic1sch the caulk groove is exactly where it needs to be, how are you planning to change that by not caulking first. Fighting it later doesn't help.
@@spencerhansen8374 The caulk groove? That groove is for the pan to be clamped down with the ridge on the clamp ring. The silicon bead should be between the grove and bolt holes. All pans are water tested for 24 hrs using a test ball. Test balls are used to ensure if a drain backs up the water won't leak under the pan. The inspector makes sure the pan drains and the weep holes are open. In 47 years I have never failed a pan inspection.
I hear ya but a linear drain is the way to go. Besides how many people are diligent about cleaning their shower drains. It's generally only if they start to drain slow. If you are one of the very few that clean their drain regularly then there won't be any surprises no matter what style you install. I like the fact that the base is on a bit of a slope instead of angled sides plus not having to stand in the dirty bath water while it drains in the centre. I installed a shower for my Dad that utilizes a walker, the linear drain allowed me to eliminate a threshold for him to step over by installing the drain along the far wall. What a great application. Each to his own, though, but to me, it is the way to go. I like the fact that you can install the tile into it so only a small drain slit is visible.
Dude I went to roseville high. Trip to see a CZcams vid and hear a local reference. Thanks for the video bro I’m remodeling my bathroom and needed this!
House keeper are also men. They are called Cleaning staff. Maids are what they were called in the day. Thanks for this video was very helpful. I have used this liner material before. This is the best product I have found to date. I feel like my next tile job will be better. Thanks Again.
There's so many half assed videos on this out there. I am definitely doing it just like this!
Your videos are goo&practically sound.Good job.
Great video. You're one of the few who explained how to cover the curb.
I learned the trade from my dad and the tricky part that I cant seem to find an instructional video on is after I put the rubber liner on the curb. When I go to wrap it with cement board what would be the proper way of cement boarding the inside curb??? I can send you my email if youd rather respond through that I know everyone on the internet is an opinionated inspector.
@@cubancigar14i9 you can buy pre formed curbs bro. You should check them out. Drop the pan in seal it up and drop your preformed curb on top and nail to the front of the curb not the top or inside.
@@josephmerkle398 thanks for the reply, I've used those pre foamed curbs too
but I mean in the instances where I'm wrapping 2x4 curbs with cement board. I'm curious to hear how other guys screw there curbs together when they wrap it with cement board
You Rock!!! Been doing tile 40 years and you do it right!!!! and I'm just a girl.
I really appreciate you posting the videos up. It has helped me immensely. I am at the stage of installing the shower pan linear and have it exactly where you are in this video. My question is How do you seal the pan linear where it meats the backboard. A colleague of mine says the pan linear needs to be under the backer board so it does not leak.
So different to how we do it in Aus. Great workmanship 🤙 we normally sheet the room with cement board (villa board) then caulk any seams, joins or screws and then paint on a waterproof membrane. It gives a even flat finish to tile on. For the floors we the lay a sand cement screed on top for falls. So interesting how different things are done
This is also done this way in the US. I’m going to be doing exactly that (except I’ll be doing a hard pack floor over a pan liner) but otherwise the same
socket for bolts helps, we use a hot mop to seal pans up to the blocking, have never used a liner yet on a pan but nice job bro!
I'm a retired contractor. Never did bathrooms. I learned some great stuff. Thanks!!!!
Going to watch more of your videos now while I am doing my own home bathroom.
Rule one....Do a great job
Rule two....Get your money y'all
You really can't do one without the other.
Another fantastic video.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome instructional video! Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise! God bless in Jesus'name bro!
Good job brother,Love to see guys using a preslope...this is right
Thanks man ur doing great beautiful work keep up the good work blessings
Good work brother that's how it's done thanks for sharing
Good production, stay humble.
I thank you those are very clear Instructions
Hey bro this was a great video the best i have seen so far. Great work. 🤜🤛
That's a nice job My name is Mike a been at this for 44 years and 61 when still in good shape to continue on doing great work with marble and granite. What was very important back when I was your age is I took galvanized wire laugh and bent it over the curb classically and then I'm rise It off the curb and then re bend it tighter when I've noticed is as you put it back in you don't need any nails isn't that special. The edge of a cut wire laugh is teat a factory edge of the material is in the shower floor area the exterior part is what's cut normally it's about 10" wide and probly 4' long. Now think of the idea of mixing sand and cement with an set and putting his scratch coat vertically and horizontally but not on the outside leave that for later.. Now the fun part is is a nonstick material which I liked use well me I have a sealed piece of plywood as you mud the inside vertical on the curb what you need to understand is that you could put brace wood clamps I'd old care but when you pull it after it dries guess what happens you have a beautiful surface to tile on is and a great.. And by the way there's a trick to the trade out good at makes your sand and cement for your dry pack into buckets by using your drill think about it political water and add a little samat makes it up by your screeds makes little more up guess what you don't have to chop it up with a whole anymore it's pretty simple to do just learn how to do-it-yourself because you guys are good at what you do thank you.
Drywall is a great tile backer but ONLY for dry areas... Never in a wet environment like a shower!!
He's likely going to put a water barrier on this mold resistant drywall, and probably epoxy grout after. That backer board will never see water!
Most membranes say right in the instructions not to be used on sheet rock. Like that hack startle does. This video is old and I have not seen this guy use sheetrock in the shower in his newer video. Sheetrock in shower wrong period. Also the seem at the liner is very bad.
@@tuppersdad another opportunity for them to not honor any warranty. They also say to apply with a trowel no? Schluter does work with sheetrock though doesnt it?
I just tore apart a shower with green sheetrock and lathe on it. Sheet rock was completely dry no issues (except at the bottom where the sheetrock was making contact with the "shower pan) , and it didn't have a water barrier.
Redgard says it can also be used as a shower pan liner. You beleive that? Or you form your own opinions?
@@MrTacolover42 I believe all the membranes can be used as a shower liner. Some you must use a mesh with it. Not sure how red gaurd works don't use it i don't think it is a great product. In my area commercial they use the laticrete products like hydroban for shower liners all the time.
Never use sheetrock for a wet area like a shower. Always make sure pan liner is 6” above fill line(curb).
We do things a lot a like,i never use wood on my curb though i form it and pour a solid concrete curb
@tilecoach have really been enjoying your videos! thank you! I'm a carpenter and tiler that got most of his experience tiling in Vermont 5+ years agoand trying to make the transition to CA code.. curious to know - could you line the shower enclosure with fiberboard before floating your masonry shower pan and then just coat the entire pan and fiberboard w/ 2-3 coats paint-on sealer like red-guard instead of the liner you have here and the moisture-resistant drywall? That is how I would be inclined to do this same application but wonder if there's something wrong with that...
I would like to see you showing viewers how to use a poured concrete curb with the pan liner run up in the middle of the curb. This I a way used to ensure pan doesn't get damaged or have a curb leak
Dewalt Flex Torque 40 piece are awesome impact bits. They don't jump out like that of the other bits i've used.
I have zero expertise with tiles and bath renovations, but on the internet, everyone says no purple board in the shower area. Just curious, any reason you are using purple boards on the side, instead of cement boards?
What works best? purple board + RedGard, or HardieBacker cement + RedGard? Thanks!
I don’t know why I’m watching this, but I enjoy your videos.
You’re a good dude and I like your channel
Excellent explanation, thank you!
Keep up the good work!
Friendly tip: try using a rubber dead blow hammer and gently hit the top of bolts to make a very fast exact fit. 👍🏻
Isacc. Here’s 1 for ya.
continuity wires.
It’s something customers LOVE.
In short without much detail unless you want that.
Run wires to the areas that leak the most over time.
Run to shower valve.
You can run 1 or several sets of wires. Pull cover off and use a tester to see if water has leaked under pan.
Sounds crazy but it keeps workers from cheating. Customers get a extra service per say.
In short it’s a water alarm.
You can also do this but there’s pros and cons to it.
For 30 yrs plus in construction plus. The biggest is customer satisfaction. It’s always a step above the rest.
And if correct your in CA. Same here.
Some strict codes. Let alone customers
Thanks brother, I needed to see this!
Thanks for your show me - really helps alot
Well Done! Now if I could find a company with your integrity and work ethics to replace my shower floor! I really feel this is way to high over my head for me to do!
Thanks for the video. Very well explained
Like the use of the existing materials to counter the prefab corners
Sweet dude thanks for the video! Gonna give this a shot
i use small rocks, gravel 1/4" max around the weep holes while sand mix goes on. its a good trick. peace
Thanx for the up load, awesome job
Great video good job 👍 and thanks for sharing!!
How do you account for the difference in thickness between the liner and the board above it when installing the tile?
Would like to know do I do the curb with fat mud before the upper level pack mud or first the packing mud and then the curb sides on top . Thank you very much for your help. I enjoy all your videos and the dedication it takes to do make them very good inspiration.
If when you get to the the curb fold of liner, don't make your cut on the liner straight up, instead cut liner(3rd)layer back horizontally towards back of shower so when it folds over curb you have that piece now up the curbs wall
thanks for the vid Isaac....nice to see quality info being put out there.
Awsome reminds me of roofing i do commercial roofing and hand weld pvc and tpo materials at corners and ac curbs on roofs we call those corners hog ears I wonder if an 0.60 thickness pvc membrane can be used as a liner . I know I can make that waterproof and hand weld the corners with a heat gun . Love your videos hopefully be doing my bathrooms over in my new house thanks to your videos
Te felicito excelente tutorial, saludos
Great video. Wish you showed how to put the liner on the shower bench as well though
Thanks bro Tomorrow I am gonna do it by myself for my New bathroom.
Great work bro very informable teacher in the trade
Thanks for the video. Very helpful! I noticed that you have the moisture/mildew resistant drywall on the walls. Will you be installing tile? If so, how will you waterproof the walls? Thanks for you feedback.
Love ya Bro!
good job thanks for the help
Thank you for sharing your knowledge my friend, I really appreciate your videos.👍
thanks for showing the drain assembly separate. It really helped to see that. Question - I notice the pan liner goes up the wall right on the wood blocking. Do you come back and put backer board over the pan liner on the wall? what do you do there?
Same question ...as pan liner should be behind the wall board or backerboard.
I have the same question. I need to know the missing steps between this video and the next one. What did you put over the pan liner on the wall to make it flush with the wall board? I am now stuck at the spot where this video ended. HELP !! Please.
love the vide. how do you measure the bench? do you just bring flush with curb? im doing glass shower door
Man i learned so much just watching you do it and break it down as you done it. Great instructions, and awesome video! Thanks 🙏🏻
How do you deal with the extra thick corners were you fold the pan? And what do you fill the bottom 8 inches with on the wall? Thanks, your videos are very informative.
Mr. ISAAC, you are definetly the tile coach i wanna learn from, any chance you have episodes in order start to finish, using a liner like in episode 9..
Great video man
You're back! Good video, we do pan liners all the time, but not with those corners. How do you make those corners?
Do you need to preslope a concrete shower floor or you could just mix yout mortor and slope it to the drain.
Im 56 been doing this for over 30 + years and i love learning and watching.like this guys attitude .
