One of the most common problems that people face in their shower area is inadequate drainage, thereby resulting in water accumulation. This accumulation of water gives rise to mold growth and can even make the shower area slippery and dangerous. Hence it is important that you have a dry and hygienic bathroom; and the key to achieving this is to lay a good shower foundation. To accomplish this you need ready to tile shower pans, which not only keep the shower area dry, but also protect the sub floor from water seepage. Moreover, the shower pan base will act as the foundation for installing tiles in the shower area.

It is crucial to carefully design and construct the shower area since even a minor glitch can result in water accumulation, and water seepage to the sub floor. To avoid such a situation use a shower pan, which will be installed between the sub floor and the tiles. These ready to tile shower pans are waterproof and prevent water from accumulating on the tiled floor, and seeping to the sub floor. This helps in keeping the bathroom dry and hygienic, thereby preventing mold growth. A dry shower area will ensure that the sub floor as well as the tiles long last and require minimal maintenance over the years.

Tile shower pans form a strong foundation of the shower area, thereby making them essential while designing a shower area. These shower pans offer a waterproof lining and prevents water from percolating to the sub floor, hence avoiding any damage to it. A number of individuals are unaware that even tiles are porous. This point is especially relevant to a shower area that is situated on the first floor or the second floor of a house. In case there is any leakage of water below the tiled floor there could be significant damage to the surrounding walls. This leakage could extend to the other floors of the house as well, thereby resulting in greater damage. It is in order to prevent such damage from occurring that you should consider installing a shower pan below the tiled floor of your shower area.

Ready to tile shower pans are lightweight, waterproof and can be easily installed. Although a number of individuals prefer to install a shower liner membrane below their shower area, there are a number of disadvantages associated with it. First of all, there is a chance of damage to the liner during the installation process thereby leading to water leakage in the future. Further, there is a possibility that water might accumulate over the liner membrane, thereby resulting in mold growth.

Ready to tile shower pans have a standard ¼” per foot drain slope, and an integrated drain assembly thereby facilitating proper drainage of water. Further, since these shower pans are ready to tile, the time taken to build a shower area is significantly reduced. Therefore, to have an aesthetically pleasing, dry and clean bathroom you should install ready to tile shower pans in your shower area.

Design an elegant and effective shower area

March 17, 2010

The shower area, for most people, is their own private space where they can refresh and rejuvenate themselves. It is due to this reason that a shower area should be designed and constructed with extreme care and precision. One of the most important components of a shower area is the shower pan. Shower pan is the area between the tiled floor and the sub floor, and is crucial to maintain the integrity of the shower area.

In case your shower pans area is such that water accumulates there, you could face serious problems of mold growth. Further, in case your shower pan leaks, there could be damage to your shower floor. One of the most effective solutions to this problem is ProPan, which is an easy to install shower pan floor. ProPan is a waterproof shower pan that can be ideally installed in shower areas of different sizes, thereby ensuring high utility.

Although ProPan is available in different standard sizes, one of the biggest advantages of using ProPan is that it can be modified, cut or extended according to the specific size of the shower area. This feature ensures that your contractor can cut the Pan at the job site as per the requirements.

ProPan is a ready to tile shower pan that eliminates the need to set up a separate layer of pan liner. Although a pan liner is widely used to prevent leakage to the sub floor, there are chances of water accumulating over this pan liner, thereby resulting in the growth of mold. ProPan comes with a pre-formed pitch of ¼” per foot, thereby ensuring that there is no water accumulation below the shower floor. This standardized slope makes sure that any water that seeps through the tiled floor is directed effectively towards the drain opening.

Another benefit offered by ProPan is that it comes with a full foam curb assembly, which can also be customized as per the shower size area. Two of the most time consuming and crucial activities related to building a shower area are constructing a shower curb and waterproofing the sub floor. By installing ProPan, you will be able to effectively take care of both these activities, thereby ensuring a perfect shower area.

The ease of installation and high utility of ProPan systems have ensured that they are widely used for flooring and tiling activities. As compared to traditional mud beds that took 2 to 3 days to set-in, ProPan can be installed in a matter of hours. Further, its ready to tile feature ensures that you are able to design and construct an effective shower area within a short period of time and without the assistance of professionals. ProPan is manufactured using rot proof material to ensure that it remains effective for a long period of time.

An improperly built shower area will require regular maintenance and additions from your side; therefore, it is essential that you get it right the first time. This has been made possible through the use of a ready to tile shower pan such as ProPan.

ProPan Shower pans, ProPan shower pan, PreFormed ready to tile Shower Pan, shower pan, tileredi, shower base

your shower pan forms the base of your shower area, and it is important to make the right selection in order to avail maximum utility out of it. In most shower areas, a waterproof pan liner is placed below the tiled floor and the mortar to ensure that the sub floor is not damaged by the water that seeps through.  However, the main concern with such a set up is that water can accumulate over the pan liner and lead to mold growth. It is for this reason that you should consider installing a ready to tile shower pan under your tiled floor.

A ready to tile shower pan eliminates the need to create a separate layer of pan liner, thereby removing the chances of water accumulation and mold growth.  Another reason why this system is gaining popularity is that tiling can be started as soon as the pan is installed.  This significantly reduces the completion time of your shower area.  However, while selecting a ready to tile shower pan you should ensure whether it is strong enough to hold the weight of the tiled floor. A strong and durable ready to tile shower pan should be made up of lasting materials such as polystyrene.

Another important factor to consider while purchasing a ready to tile shower pan is the slope of the pan floor. Since the pan floor will direct the accumulated water towards the drain weep holes, it is essential for it to have the appropriate slope. The standard slope of a pan floor should be 1/4” per foot to ensure that any water that seeps through the tiled floor is effectively directed towards the drain.

ProPan Shower pans, ProPan shower pan, PreFormed ready to tile Shower Pan, shower pan, tileredi, shower base

Since not all shower areas are of the same size, finding the appropriate sized ready to tile shower floor can become a difficult task.  However, ProPan is a high utility ready to tile shower pan that can be easily cut or extended to suit  the specific size of your shower area.  ProPan also comes with a curb attachment to ensure that an effective curb can be built on the shower floor conveniently.

High quality ready to tile shower pans such as ProPan also accommodate a square drain, which is much easier to install and tile as compared to a round one.  A square drain is free of screws, thereby ensuring that you can easily open it to retrieve your belongings from the drain. If you are going to  install a square shower drain, make sure you choose the right ready to tile shower pan for it.

ProPan is an easy to install ready to tile pan floor that significantly enhances the effectiveness of your shower area.  By installing ProPan in your shower area you will be able to ensure that it remains mold free and completely dry. Further, a ready to tile pan floor will also ensure that you do not incur excess expenditure on unnecessary repairs and maintenance to your shower floor and shower sub floor.

Getting The Most Bang for Your Buck…Increasing the Value and Marketability of Your Home With Quality Flooring

February 8, 2010

ready to tile shower pans, bathroom accessories, ceramic bathroom tiles, stainless steel tiles, mosaic tiles, Glass Tile, Metal Tile, Tile Trims, Ceramic tile, Shower Tile, Flooring Tile, Los Angeles Tile, stone, Porcelain, marble, Granite, install tile, Counter top tile, Bathroom Tile

They say that money talks and…well you know the rest. I know that in today’s economy, most of you are holding on to your home longer than you might if the housing market was booming. While you are making improvements to your current property you can increase its value and desirability to your next home buyer. You basically need to keep in mind just two things: Where to make those improvements, and what to improve. Let’s see if we can figure this out together.

I happen to know from sources deep within the housing industry (okay, maybe it is just several friends who happen to be realtors) that the two most common areas people look at when shopping for a new home are the kitchen and bathroom. That is not to say that the other areas aren’t important. Still, there is something about these two areas that attract the eyes of the potential homebuyer. So, when spending is tight, hit these two key areas first.

What types of improvements should you make to your kitchen or bath? Things that have great visual effect will usually be best. You also want to make it attractive, but not too customized to your own tastes. With the advent of HGTV and the bevy of home improvement shows, everyone wants to be a Bob Vila, Ty Pennington, or Paige Hemming. A nice new tile floor in the bathroom in a neutral color will make you much more money than you will spend doing it. Travertine tile or anything that has a stone look is all the rage right now, and the look of marble is timeless. You might also upgrade that shower with a new massaging head, or replace the whole thing with a ready-to-tile model that you can spruce up in no time. Add shelves and people will be wowed at your cutting edge thinking.

Moving on to the kitchen, take a look at those counter tops and imagine them with a new granite or stone look. You could even tile the backsplash and really give the kitchen some pop. If you have a little more to spend, add a new floor in styles similar to those I talked about previously.

Even something as simple as adding trim to an already tiled floor can do wonders for the appearance. This will add extra value to your home, and catch the eye of the potential buyer, without taking much moolah out of your pocket.

So now you are ready to increase the value of your home, make it more attractive, and sell it…when you are ready. Just make a few minor adjustments to a couple of key areas and listen to the money talk!

December 23, 2009

Constructing Your Shower Using a Vinyl, Chloraloy or a Roll-On (liquid) Liner for Waterproofing

Ebbe square shower drain, deco shower drain

Note: Steps 1–3 apply for both Pre-Pitch and Quick Pitch.

1. Determine the size and shape of your shower including the drain type and its location.

Ebbe square shower drain, deco shower drain

2. With the roughed-in 2 x 4 curb in place, measure the distances from the drain to the walls, curb and corners.

Ebbe square shower drain, deco shower drain

Note: Quick Pitch Float Sticks #QPK-101 and Pre-Pitch Float Sticks #STD-201 are 36″ in length. If the distances are greater, Quick Pitch Extended Float Sticks #EXT-103 and Pre-Pitch Extended Float Sticks #EXT-202 kits will be required.

3. Starting in a corner, measure by 2–2 1/2 foot increments around the perimeter of the shower making sure a Float Stick will be positioned in each corner.

Note: The closer the Float Stick ends are to each other, the easier the screeding of the mud mixture will be.

Ebbe square shower drain, deco shower drain

4. To determine the quantity of Kirb Perfect #543 sections needed, measure in 30″ increments. Curb sections are 30″ and have dove tail connectors to attach to one another and will accommodate any length or angles.

Ebbe square shower drain, deco shower drain

5. Determine which type of shower drain you will be using. Quick Pitch Kits #QPK-101 come supplied with a center ring designed for standard shower drains to attach the float sticks. If a Ebbe square drain or 3” drain is to be used, the Universal Center Ring (#QPUCR-108) is available.

Ebbe square shower drain, deco shower drain

6. To figure the liner size or amount of liquid membrane, measure the shower compartment length and width and add at least 6” or what is needed to all sides so the liner will go up the walls to a height of 3” above the shower curb on all walls and over the curb.

Ebbe square shower drain, deco shower drain

7. Once you have figured the kits and liner necessary for your Goof Proof Shower, you will need to figure the amount of bedding mud (mixture consist of 1 part Portland cement and 4 parts clean sand) necessary to fill the kits. Using the square footage of your shower floor, multiply by 12.5 lbs. per sq. ft. (i.e. 3 x 5 = 15 sq. ft. x 12.5 lbs. = 188 lbs.). This amount should accommodate all kits.

8. After all materials are gathered you will want to watch the instructional DVD a time or two to gain confidence in the steps necessary to complete you Goof Proof Shower.

Your shower floor will become the foundation for your new shower.  It is critically important that it is properly constructed and does not ever leak.  As you may already be aware this is the area where tiled shower failures most often occur.  Spending a bit more money on a quality floor system is the best protection you can have against shower floor failure.  It’s like buying shower insurance.

Flooring Supply Shop has scoured the market to bring you the best shower floor system available. We have looked for a system that was straight and true, light weight and very easy to install into its space.  This is easy to lay tile with no difficult, messy and expensive epoxy mortar requirements. the pns are available in a large variety of standard sizes as well as custom ones.  The attractive looking, square, drain easily adjusts up or down to match the height of the tile.  This all makes our ready for tile shower pans the right choice for you.

We couldn’t find the full service shower system we were looking for anywhere on the market so we got creative.  We contacted our friends at Fin Pan and asked them to make shower floors for Flooring Supply Shop that incorporated the Ebbe Square shower drain.   Now we have the best of both worlds.   Finally, we can offer you a shower floor that meets all of your requirements.  When all the work is completed you will see the Ebbe Square drain in the center of your new shower floor fitting nicely within your floor tile, matching the finish of your plumbing. All of this makes for a shower floor system from Flooring Supply Shop that will give you results you can be proud of for forty or more years.

An Ebbe Square shower drain is already installed in to the new shower pans  making tile cutting around the drain a non-issue.   Simple cuts are easily made, saving precious time.  Ebbe drains are sized to match standard 1/2″, 1″, 2″, and 4” tile without cutting.  When cutting is needed, cuts are straight saw cuts with no grinding to match a radius. Just imagine how much easier glass mosaics will be to install.
