I have a sloping concrete floor in the shower,the floor is painted and is in fair shape.

I want to use a product to level the floor so when guests come over,they don't have to stand at the sloping floor angle,yet I still want to be able to drain as I do now.(namely,I want to still have the concrete below,and use the floor mat like I do now,just raise the floor to level)

Any ideas about what product to use, I have considered wood,metal grating and if possible,plastic.

Hi, KBC!

Have I seen that shower that you're asking about?

Thanks!

Yeah,the downstairs shower.The floor is fine,except that it slopes too much.

The upstairs shower handle has had a problem and my dealings with Kohler to get the right parts for fixing it has been trying.The downstairs shower is now the only one in use.Hence,the want to address the sloping floor.

This is unusual question. Each shower floor needs slope for water to drain away. In your case, you want to eliminate slope from the floor - and still use it as functional shower.

How much slope do you have ? What's the size of the shower floor area?

Problem is that no matter what type of Mix you put over existing floor, it will most likely crack, especially on the thin end.

You will be better off putting something over it - like teak floor. It is used in saunas. Cut and place the wood so it absorbs the slope while the original floor will remain the way it is. See the pic...

Is there a site I can refer to to see if they might have some specs/ideas I could use for my situation?

I am also considering cypress for the floor,teak is very pricey.

My floor measures 3'X 5' with tapered corners on 3 sides(45 degrees)(the walls are made of old glazed silo tiles with natural stone spacers),I also have a seat which I want to cover(it is also stone),17" X 3',4" thick (with tapered back walls at 45 degrees)and a soap shelf recessed into the wall 20"X4",3 1/2" thick.

I can make most anything out of wood but if there are items that I can simply customize to fit,well,less shop time for me then:)
