I hired someone to do an entire shower install with acrylic surround. The pan is a cultured marble pan with a separate curb. So the pan was just a flat piece of cultured marble with a hole (slightly sloped) and no flanges.
The butted the pan against the wall studs. They put green board all the way down to the pan and sealed it with silicone. Then they put the acrylic material on the wall down to pan and seal it with silicone.
They may have put the green all the way to the floor and pushed the pan against it and sealed.
Either way, I am thinking this is bad news. There should have been a flange either on the pan or sealed to the pan.
The reason the shower is being redone is because the last install leaked. I don't want to go through this again. I am ready to shut the job down due to other problems, but this is one I want to make sure I am thinking correctly about.
Thanks for your advice!
