PREPARATION GUIDE
Showers
- Use a NEW two or three piece bolt-together drain with the outer edges of the sub-drain flange installed flush or resting on top of slab/subfloor
- Set water thresh-hold also known as the entry dam/curb at a height above the drain top strainer. Three stacked 2x4"s is common. Damless showers MUST have recessed subfloor. - The wall base around the shower needs to have a minimum of 10 inches high of solid blocking in between the studs. 2x10"s are common. - Benches need to be solid on all faces to be hot mopped. In addition, benches need to have a minimum of 4" inches of backing around them; this includes the top and side walls. Please call for details about preparing floating benches. - Sub floor must be level and solid with no gaps or holes. |

Decks and Balconies- Make sure subfloor is solid (no holes or gaps) and slopped to the sub drain flange or gutter. - Completely remove any old waterproof membranes and make sure deck is dry and clean. - Deck needs to be PROPERLY flashed using 4” inch “L” shaped metal flashing on all walls, steps, and transitions. This flashing needs to go behind stucco siding. * We do not do flashing. You must consult your local code requirements and/or a general contractor to make sure this is done correctly. |
