I installed a 34" by 60" shower receptor made by Sterling. The sub floor is 3/4 plywood and was screwed down to floor joist. Because of a seem in the sub floor and some patch work I installed a sheet of 1/4 backer board over the entire area the receptor would sit for one seamless flat surface. I used the pad supplied with unit to prevent squeaking. The receptor fit very tight to studs and was secured with roofing nails per instructions. The receptor checks level length ways on both curbs, level from back wall to front curb at center, level diagonal from corner to corner across center. However when checked on the right from back to front there is a difference of 1/4''. There is a slight squeaking that has developed. The cracks are showing up on the back long curb. They are not in one straight line but random, horizontal, and one inch or so. Some are in the vertical flat part of the curb and some are in the curved part of the curb. The walls were just tiled. Is there a product made to fill in these cracks,or am I about to experience a real nightmare. Much thanks to all for any info offered. Really don't want to be tearing that new receptor out.
