My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How do you waterproof the shower pan?

12 years ago
More construction than design, but I am interested in this type of shower/tub install and can't find any info on how to make sure it is waterproofed properly (only that it is very important to do so!). Any tips/leads/suggestions on where to find more info on this? Thanks!

    Thank you for your question Dave. I believe in this case the project architect, Tom McElroy ( http://mcelroyarch.com/) could help you, and if not, then he can direct you to the project contractor, Miller Development. When asking about this shower, reference the San Francisco "Bungalow Update" project. Good Luck!

    Use the Kerdi waterproofing system.
