No one likes them and an unproven product increases the chance for callbacks 10x.
Shulter waterroof pro#
If you know what to use, why are you calling us? It's DIY friendly so 'do it yourself.' Second, your biggest concern as a pro is callbacks. You know nothing about it other than the promo material but insist it's great. It's like Dr's when you show up claiming you saw a commercial for XX drug, it looks so great. Until recently, most Pro's would not touch it because brands like Lacrite, are more proven brands. Or, just use vingear!Ģ Reasons and neither has anything to do with your gender (sorry to disappoint). We also always used soap bars that were either 'beauty bars' or glycerine soap-not regular ol' soap (which forms more scum by its formulation). Use a sponge and Tilex produces or nylon woven pad. Acrylic pans are fine throw away your Comet cleanser, SoftScrub and Scotchbrite pads!!!! The most abrasive thing allowed near them should be Magic Erasers-and then only on an infrequent basis. But, we KNEW to put a bed of sheetrock mud under each one. The pans in the B&B are all intact after 18+ years.
Shulter waterroof cracked#
PS concerning cracks: our all-in-one Kohler acrylic shower only cracked after about 19 years of daily use (and we were able to assess the damage from a closet so know exactly what went wrong). Please search for the conversion elsewhere on -all were homeowners, not salesman. You could also have one fabricated from Corian just like a custom sink-but go direct to the fabricator because the mark up from big box stores is killer. I'm going to rip out the current tile shower and use a custom 'cultured' pan and cultured walls (or Corian, Silestone or whatever). Since that doesn't seem to be around 'any more,' the next best thing is to have as few joints as possible.
Shulter waterroof install#
(Pretty much just mixed colored sand and gooey epoxy together.) The darn stuff was the biggest bear in the world to install (especially when the bathroom does not yet have running water so you can wash up as you go-and quickly), but, it never fell out, never leaked and never molded. The ONLY grout I have ever been happy with probably isn't still on the market-it was a sanded epoxy grout from Lowes. The weakest point is always where grout or caulk lines. They may leak and some tiles are hard to clean. There is NO upside to a tiled shower over the long haul.
The house we just bought has a tiled shower and I can see the caulk pulling away, feel the tile not level and see some damage on the floor in the room next door. NOW, I'm considering a cultured marble or cultured granite one for my hme because THAT TYPE PAN DOES NOT LEAK. One guest shoer had an acrylic pan and cultured marble walls-loved it. We used Acrylic ones (one of them a Jacuzzi brand, and one Ameritech from Lowes), in a B&B for 18 years and they performed beautifully as did one in my personal space. I just read an entire 2012 thread on this site about using cultured marble shower pans. as A neutral 3rd party set of eyes.ĭO: request a flood test and post this on GW bathroom thread. You may want to call Schluter tech support NOW and request they send A field rep from your area to inspect the install before moving fwd. You likely have a mud or preformed schluter pan under there and im seeing a foam curb with poor membrane embedding/coverage. Kerdi board on walls and bench are approved with proper substrate specs and *screw count. ( 2" laps & or preformed in/out corners (a larger discussion) Tidy, we are looking for coverage, embedding, proper thinsets used, and all changes of plane getting 2" laps and all in/out corners dealt with properly. Tidy is maybe not the term, but overall we are looking for water tight vs. I am seeing a lot of poor coverage under Kerdi membrane, Im not seeing proper in/out corners and overall some rough looking lap and install work. (Ditra is used on the floor for uncoupling and not used in the shower pan.)ī. I am seeing "Kerdi membrane " on the pan. You have said you know so little and theres alot to learn quickly. Request A flood test of your shower pan before tiling.Īnd post this thread in bathrooms section you will get a lot of pro help.Ī.
