How To Level Floor For Kerdi Pan

This would save me a 1 2 between the sub floor under the shower pan and the sub floor in the rest of the room which should allow.

How to level floor for kerdi pan.

Lay a 4 or 6 foot level on the floor from front to back. I am planning on adding a second layer of 3 4 exterior plywood as additional sub floor support before installing the schluter pan. Tile installation requires grooves in the thinset to create air pockets which facilitate the adhesion of the tile. Repeat this process across the entire floor roughly every 4 to 6 inches marking the uneven areas with a pencil.

Add 1 2 plywood shimmed and screwed to joists. If the floor is level the bubble will be in the center section. Check the level s bubble. Thinset mortar is a type of cement used for the adherence of tiles and flooring to substrate or subfloor materials.

My 48x48 3 4 subfloor is out of level 5 8 from right side exterior wall. Thin set kerdi pan to plywood. Thanks for any input. Thin set 1 4 backer board then use self leveler over the top.

Slab is slightly uneven in several spots so i m wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what to use to create an even surface before i install the kerdi drain and shower tray. I have completely removed the old shower floor tile and deck mud exposing the slab. Use something like quick pitch and mud bed for the pan and cover with kerdi. But before i actually installed the new drain i cut the shower tray to the size i needed our size was about 54 and the tray was 60 to cut the tray i used a razor blade and square.

For this shower we used the schluter kerdi drain adaptor because we already had a drain cemented into the floor. So what i am wondering is if it is possible to inset the shower base below the level of the sub floor by removing the 3 4 existing sub floor and replacing it with 1 4 plywood topped by 1 4 fibrerock underlayment. Thin set kerdi pan to that. Check the floor for level.

Installing the schluter kerdi drain adapter. I m using a preformed schluter kerdi shower tray. Designed to accommodate the kerdi drain point drain the kerdi shower t ts tt shower tray can be installed over a recessed subfloor to create an even transition from the floor tile right. A recessed shower floor allows for the installation of a sloped mortar bed or a prefabricated shower tray that is flush with the rest of the bathroom floor.
