I am doing a shower remodel using tile. It is on a second floor over the utility room (which is unfinished). I would like to construct a shower without the ridge you have to step over or the fiberglass tub. We see these all the time in magazines but I haven't see anything in terms of construction plans/instructions.
The plan I have is to line the floor and walls with tar paper, and cover with Hardibacker(the new cement board from Lowes), sealing the seams as I go with silicone on the wall corners and grout/fiberglass mesh tape on the floor. I plan on using 1/2 inch Hardibacker on the floor of the bathroom, and 1/4 inch Hardibacker board on the shower floor. That will give me 1/4 inch slope to the drain. Shower is a small 3 foot x 3 foot. The shower door will go all the way to the floor and the seal should keep the water in.
Would this be the correct way to do this?
Thanks
