Ok so I got a little ahead of myself and built the entire steam shower and have covered the walls with durarock. On the floor I have durock over plywood. I have used the mesh tape and filled all cracks in the durock. My plan now that I have already screwed up is to do the following:
1. Redgard the entire area 3 coats where normally the PVC membrane would exist. 2 coats up above the 6 inch mark.
2. create the mortar bed slope.
3. Red Gard the bed
4. Tile
Any thoughts on if this will work? or suggested alternate plans?
O:huh:
Many thanks in advance for any help...
the durock really serves no purpose, although I had initially thought that by filling all the seams in the cement board and using redgard or hydroban I would end up with a one piece liner all on the same material.
I am trying to use the typical drain from Lowes or Home depot with the bolts and adjustable. Not sure of it's official name.
I was planning on sloping the base with deck mud but only after I had my hydroban liner done.
I do have a sloped ceiling although I don't believe it is 2" per foot as reccomended in most of my reading but probably around 1"-1 1/4" per foot.
So should I yank the cement board in the base, I definitely don't want to pull the walls to get a pan liner behind it. The base should be fairly easy at this point.
