tiling shower floor

jerseygirl04 · #1 Aug 9, 2008, 06:17 AM

I have read a lot about tiling shower floors and the presloping that must be done. All the examples assume a center situated drain. My shower is the size of the bathtub that is removed (rectangle) and the drain is at the end, 1 ft from the wall. If I am presloping 1/4 in per ft of distance, one side of the floor will be much higher than the other due to the non-centered drain. It isn't an option at this point to move the drain location. Whats the best way to proceed? Thanks for the help.
