Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Nov 30, 2013 12:16 pm Greetings Have a question about bathroom floors and pole homes (no concrete slab) How is the floor sloped for water run off in a shower - i'd like to have a walk in shower, with a drain in the far corner at lowest point of shower area - however, trying to work out how a builder would slop the floor so a tiler could fit the tiles. Any ideas? or would I have to install a shower floor and have it "dropped in" to a recess the same size as the store bought shower floor? Cheers Justin Re: bathroom floors 2Dec 01, 2013 9:16 pm Not saying this will be the solution but the simplest way will be to have a fall of only one direction from front to back, and perhaps instead of having a single hole type outlet in the corner you could have a drain type outlet right across the back of the shower at the end of the fall. The existing floor will need to be cut out to allow this. As you are going for a walk-in type shower you might extend the shower length to more than 900 (say 1800mm or more if you have the room. The shower floor base could be a section of yellow tail flooring with a suitable sub-frame beneath to support it all. The tiler will install/establish a membrane to ensure no water leakage. barkly 2 4669 3 5580 Old Home Restoration / Renovation To reduce noise transfer without compromising the aesthetic of your exposed I beams, consider filling the 100mm gap between the I beams and the floor above with dense,… 6 9123 |
