Concrete Floor for Curbless Shower | Basement Bath

Why step over a curb if you don't have to? 😄 In this video I highlight the process of adding new concrete for a basement bathroom with a curbless shower. It's important to PLAN ahead on this to ensure a good slope towards the shower drain. For more detailed information on this bathroom remodel, be sure to check out my course below 👇

I really enjoy this kind of job.

I'm watching this video with bated breath. Can't wait to see.all this preliminary work pay off.

I grabbed a used mixer off of marketplace for $100. I've poured close to 100 bags in my basement project now, sure helps a lot with the heavy lifting.

Don’t breathe the dust , at all . Silicosis looks the same as asbestosis on the imagery

Thanks

How'd you get all that gravel down those stairs in the wheel barrel? Thanks so much for your content you do a really great job. Helped me rough in my basement bathroom and it's mint.

Luckily there’s an attached garage, no steps 😊

For tough spots during our landscaping projects, we would fill two 5-gallon buckets 75% of the way with gravel and carry them. Two balances the load. One landscaper I knew used galvanized wash tubs with handles on them to move soil, mulch and stone!

[@dmytrotomashuk2212]

hi, may I ask why don't you ram gravel?

[@staceystovall7583]

So to clarify...you poured the concrete floor, and left 1 1/2" for a floor leveler? Is floor leveler absolutely necessary? In other words, can't you just use regular mortar mix up to the finished level (I live in a country where we don't have floor leveler mix)? Also then, in your document titled, "Guide to Choosing Curbless Shower Systems" you have a diagram on p. 9...the floor leveler would go between the poured floor and the shower mortar bed?

Hi where did you get the foam baord can i get one in home depot or lowes. if it is slab why do you need to have vapor barrier in bottom bcz any case you are going to water seal it with redguard or kerdi membrane.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Yep Home Depot and lowes carry it
And it’s for mostly insulation value for heated flooring 👍

[@kevinhornbuckle]

I am interested to see how you slope the floor leveler.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Hopefully next week…

[@mickeyshanks1429]

How long do you allow the concrete to cure before the shower pan?

[@TrashyLobster]

Me personally, 2 days

[@MikeHoncho1775]

Why didn't you dowel in that curb to the existing concrete? It's going to break off over time. Also, why didnt you use rebar anywhere? On uncompacted gravel, thats going to crack and separate from the exhsting concrete floor

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

It’s not outside, it’ll be fine. But your points are valid & are better methods
