I am building a shower in my studio loft. Trying to save every penny, I would like to get around using tiles. Most comercial pre fab units are small and costly. I would like mine to be about 5'X5'. I've framed it with metal studs. There already exists a floor drain in the concreat floor that I will use as the drain. Can I cement my shower floor, raked 4" to the drain with a lip edge at the walls, and then paint the cement with waterproof paint?
Can i use waterproof paint for the walls on top of aqua board or some other water resistant sheet rock. Rockboard is the usual method, when tiling, but twice as expensive. Is there an alternative? Swiming pools are made of concreat and painted over, Why cant I do this with my shower? It only has to last for about 5 years max.
