Have a bathroom job coming up with a handicap roll-in shower.
I've lined shower pans before, but they had a curb. With the mortar bed contained in this small space, I didn't worry about the tile popping up. But now I need to line the entire floor up to the entry door.
Now I'm worried that a thin layer of leveler poured over the liner will crack up over time, but laying a thick mortar bed before thinset will cause a handful of problems from seating the toilet to being way out at the threshold.
I'm laying tile over a concrete floor, but underneath is the condominiums' parking garage and the shower drain is exposed, so I have to waterproof period.
How thin of a bed can you pour over a full-floor liner and still have it be crack free in fifteen years?
Is there an alternative?
