Message: [QUOTE="tdrink, post: 4863599, member: 1331"] I do half a dozen or so shower pans a year. It’s probably about half preformed pan and half membrane now. When I do a membrane system I use a linear drain and frame my slope since it is only one direction with the linear drain. I always use 1/2“ hardibacker for my walls. I’m almost 60 and have no trouble with the 3’ x 5’ sheets. I use to use the Kerdi band on all seams but it creates a bulge that has to be compensated for on all the field tile. Not worth it imo. I use to use ditra on floors (not within shower.) Easy to roll out but so much extra thin set and not easy to trowel over. 1/4” hardi on thin set does so much to flatten the floor it always seems worth it for the extra effort. I have probably demoed hundreds of showers over the last 40 years. That really gives you sense of what things matter to make a lasting product. [/QUOTE]
