Yes, you can use those brackets or simply build out the 1/2”-3/4” I joist with addition plywood to make even with top plate and then set side supports like donr in this video 👍
Why lower/recess the floor when it was all already flat and level? Just bc you don’t wanna throw 3/4 on the other side and have to cut all the doors and jams and raise the toilet ?
That would give an 1 1/4” height difference into bath after tile adding additional layer of 3/4”. That’s typically a tripping height unless you have carpet
@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher if the floor was flat then you added 1/2” backer board and 1/4” tile so 3/4 inch height difference, curious what figure you used to get the 1 1/4”? I’m just curious if it could be done that way that way one didn’t have to recess the floor
@@JustinMentionedIt tile is typically 3/8” thick and you have at least an 1/8” for thinset plus the subliner or other waterproofing materials. That gives you a minimum 1 1/4” with the 3/4” plywood that you’ll need to add to existing floor (if you are not wanting to recess shower area)
Wow! This gives me great confidence in my ability to do this. If I'm going to need to tear up the floor to repair the joists anyway, why not?
WOW that is good work.
Wow awesome info. Thank you
Can you tile past the shower pan?
Have you ever had to recessed a floor with I-beam joist. I see they make some brackets but are costly.

Hey, I have I-beams and used brackets from ebb floor. The cost was $85, to me it was worth it. Made installation easy.
