Tiling a Shower - Floor, Ceiling, Walls

Tiling a Shower - Floor, Ceiling, Walls

Tiling a shower is no doubt an ambitious undertaking. It is a challenge that many homeowners take on though. The most mysterious part of construction a shower is the constructing of a shower pan. How do you keep it from leaking? Well, you can use a prefabricated shower pan and avoid the approved masonry construction. But many folks tackle construction a shower pan themselves. So where do you start when construction a shower?

The Shower Floor

Shower Wall

Build the shower floor first. The shower floor you see as ceramic tile and grout is not waterproof. The tile and especially the grout are porous and so a liner under the face of the floor is needed to keep the water from damaging the area around the shower. When a shower pan leaks, some part of the waterproofing plan has failed.

A shower floor is constructed on top of a solid base. It could be subfloor or it could be concrete. A special shower drain is set in place first. This drain has two sets of drain holes, one above the other. A layer of masonry is poured in place sloped to the lowest set of holes. Place on top of the sloped mortar a special vinyl membrane. This vinyl sheet is for real the waterproof layer of the floor.

The membrane is glued to the base of the drain so you then have a waterproof liner which is run up the wall some inches too.

Now above the liner a second layer of mortar is poured that is sloped toward the drain to serve as the base for the tile. After the mortar dries for a combine of days the tile is set using thinset adhesive. Then the tile is grouted and the floor is ready.

Ceiling

If you will tile the ceiling, this step comes next. You can retain the ceiling tiles with strips of plywood over each course. Hold the strips with lengths of 2x4 wedged between the shower pan and the ceiling.

Walls

Mark lines on the back wall and then on the sides. You'll need horizontal and vertical lines. If the shower walls partially enclose the front of the shower, you can use the back corners as the vertical working lines as long as the walls are plumb.

Spread adhesive on the back wall and set the tiles until complete. Then unblemished the sides and then the front. Put in place any fixtures like soap dishes as you move around. Finally, unblemished the trim around the door or threshold.

A ceramic tile shower is a absorbing task but one that many homeowners successfully tackle.
