Trying to decide between Laticrete, Schluter and some other alternatives.
Is it safe to say that I should be looking for a product that has some kind of flange so my topical waterproofing can adhere to the trough? Kinda like how Schluter has an integrated one and Laticrete has a flange that you hydroban.
I'm leaning towards something like that but I see other products at 1/3rd the cost but they have no flange for waterproofing to adhere to. I'm guessing those are made for more traditional clamped pan liner.
Second question. When installing a linear drain between two walls are the pros making everything flush up against the walls or leaving multi inch gaps and just tiling? Imagine two walls 5' apart and I want to put a linear drain between them. There's no chance the drain/trough will be exactly the width of the open space.
Thanks in advance for any answers or points. I'm doing a curbless linear drain at the threshold of a shower on concrete. Already hacked through the concrete.
