We are in the process of having a ~6' x 6' accessible, curbless wet room shower/powder room installed. The installation is on a concrete slab floor, at grade. The wet room area was poured 2" below the rest of the slab, sealed, sloped, and sealed again. Half-inch radiant heating tubing has been installed. The remaining steps will be to cover the radiant heating tubes with sloped mortar and to install the slate flooring. The only provision that has been made for mounting a toilet is a black PVC drain pipe which has been sealed to the sealant below the radiant heating. I'm looking for wisdom on what I should expect my general contractor to do to provide for a securely mounted toilet flange. I trust that I am correct in concluding that the flange does need to be securely bolted down somehow. Does it make sense for him to bore holes through the sealed floor to epoxy in some bolts and then to seal the holes with Sikaflex? Would this be done after the flooring is installed? It seems a shame to damage a membrane that has passed a flood test, but then, there is only concrete slab beneath it all anyway.
I've also encountered forum comments elsewhere that indicate that there may be code requirements for a 2" containment sill (just like for a standard shower stall.) Somehow this would negate the accessibility advantages. Perhaps the writer was working with 'old information.?'
Thanks for any insights,
