What a fantastic world creator of this video lives in! 1.There is nothing behind the drywall to screw wood frame to, I took off drywall panels to reframe existing carcass ( and install shower faucet valve) so some wood will be there, and put drywall back with taping, mudding and else. 2. Shower pan drain strainer and nut is well below pan's bottom and floor level, so it's not possible to set it flat on the floor to attach walls, at least a few 2x4 s need to be put under to keep it level, after bolting all together you can't just slide all flimsy cabin to the corner with a light toe kick - need to lift it and land around the stand up 2" pipe messing with that firewood on the wall. 3. Shower pan bottom filler is a foam that when stepping on the pan makes squeaking sounds. Bad design, requires tons of extra preparation job to do.
Just finished install. My main comment is it makes no sense to attach the backing wood pieces with screws. First, its not likely there will be studs at every screw point shown. I opted to use "Loctite All-Purpose Power Grab" for the "wood-to-drywall" adhesive, and then on the side of the wood facing the shower surround I used "Loctite Power Grab Tub Surround." The other reason this is a better method than screws is that the Loctite wood grabs instantly (won't fall off wall) but allows up to 30 minutes working time, which means if the wood is positioned slightly incorrectly, it can easily be slid a bit either way to conform perfectly to the shower panels. The only place i recommend using actual wood screws is on the vertical pieces (the 1x3) which the jambs are screwed into. Those have to be anchored as firmly as possible because there is load and tension on those on each side, so i recommend making sure you have wood behind the drywall on each side. I also agree with the other comment that the music to this video is repetitive and irritating and grating for some reason I'm not sure why. My base was 1/4" out of level and I was still able to get an excellent installation. I would say don't be more than 1/4" out of level that's about the "maxx" variance it can handle. I'm impressed with the product so far and happy with my purchase.
Very helpful, thanks Orabuntu. I was thinking the same about gluing the 2x3 with silicon caulking or what you used. There's nothing in this video or the instructions about ensuring suitable stud placements to accommodate them. A proper narration about these facts and other hints would be better than the cheesy and annoying music.
What the size of lumber we can use?
Avoir su avant d’acheter, j’aurais essayé de trouver un boîte toute faite. Je me sens comme M Matte lors des travaux. Achetez-vous pas de la misère.
What are the installation requirements behind the drywall to hold/mount the slats onto?
Use plywood backing.
Is there a double drywall on the walls?
Where on earth does it drain to?
Nicely done 😁
Thanks for the info I’ll pass on that deal I agree with what you all are saying.
What a horrible video. Take off this terrible music and actually go through the whole installation with pointers and detail. Fire your entire marketing department.
Agreed!!!!
man that looks low quality
I just bought this shower. It 100% is.
If anyone reading this comment is considering one DO NOT pay more than $400 dollars for this. Probably cost them $50 to manufacture.
Plumber here, terrible quality even when installed properly..base creeks due to foam bottom and inability to use foam or mortar..my boss had me put two of these in recently, im embarrassed to have this quality of product installed by me, never again.
The instruction sheet reads, "Enjoy the experience." Name me one person on the planet who enjoyed having bamboo shoots shoved under the fingernails and "Enjoyed the experience," I'll hire that person to install this piece of crap.
Horrible kit, awful music. Self inflicted torture
Installing this for a friend. It's in the basement on a concrete floor. The house is 25 years old and was roughed in with 1.5 " ABS. Setting this flimsy three piece unit on top of a glue joint drain is going to be a shit storm. I have the rough in perfectly aligned but it's going to take three men, a boy, and a barking dog to get this piece of crap to work 😡. NOT looking forward to this.
