CURBLESS SHOWER TRANSITION --- HOW TO TAPER TILE TO DRAIN

Curbless tiled showers are becoming more and more popular not only because of the minimalist design look but also because more and more of our population is choosing to age at home. Curbless entry showers allow people to use walking assist devices or wheelchairs to easily enter the shower. They also prevent tripping over a shower curb or dam. There are two ways to install a linear drain for a curbless shower...for the slope to from side to side or from front to back. More often than not, we are choosing to do from side to side because usually the shower head is on the side wall, not the back wall. With the person using the shower standing at the shower head, it is much more comfortable to stand on the slope of the pan going towards the wall that you are facing, rather than standing on a side slope going the other direction. To make this happen, there needs to be a transition from the bathroom floor tile to the shower floor tile and the cuts will need to be tapered under the schluter trim. In this video, we use a Schluter Systems Kerdi Line linear drain and Hydro Ban Sheet Membrane for waterproofing over a deck mud (dry pack) base.
