    My curbless steam shower project

    Continued So this is it. I have learned a lot from this build, but given another chance I would do it differently (properly). In the case of steam rooms I would use a sheet membrane type water proofing. Although I have yet to run into moisture problems, the use of a proper sheet membrane...

    My curbless steam shower project

    Thanks Suceress, the bench top is a remnant piece of 1-1/4" quartz. We were going to go with corian, as it would be a bit warmer to the tush. I don't really like the plastic feel of corian and we couldn't find a remnant piece of 1-1/4 corian we liked. When I use the bench I just sit on a towel...

    That's why I love the white on white.

    My curbless steam shower project

    Continued I chose to go with epoxy grout. It was my first time using epoxy grout. It was more hassle, and definitely more money. Hopefully it was worth it. My thinking was that it would give me another layer of defense against moisture, as well as less maintenance, as it does not need sealing...

    Continued Tiling began. I am pretty happy with the layout. Glass mosaics in a bunch of different sizes. These would not exist if tilers were designing tiles. I had the "light and sound" hooked up at this point just to make sure it would all work before tiling.

    Is this what happened with the aquadefense in your pics? I never had any bubbling. Looks pretty gnarly.

    My curbless steam shower project

    Yes I used the complete drain system. the screw in allowed me to set my drain height, and prevent stuff from falling in the drain when I back filled around the linear drain. I went with the full-on light and sound package as you will see later. The square cutout in the angled part of the ceiling...

    My curbless steam shower project

    Continued So after multiple coats of Aquadefense I created a dam to flood test. A piece of scrap mdf covered with mesh and waterproofing served as the dam, which could easily be cut out after the flood test. The last pic is a scrap fitting that I marked the water level on. Left the test running...

    My curbless steam shower project

    The fact that Hydro Ban and Red Guard are allowed for steam shower application, and Aquadefense was not, seemed odd to me. I would have used Hydro Ban, but I couldn't find it in my area, and Red Guard got mixed reviews when I was looking into it. John you are right, I ended up buying 4 gallons...

    My curbless steam shower project

    continued I chose to use Aquadefense. I know that there is a debate on whether or not to use this product for steam rooms, but most of these debates were geared towards commercial style steam rooms. All I will say is that I have been using this steam room at least once a week for about a...

    My curbless steam shower project

    Seeing as I used this forum extensively to prepare for my project, here is my attempt to give back a bit. This project had a lot of firsts for me. First walk-in shower build, first steam shower build, and first linear drain install. I figured since this was a bathroom in my own basement, I...
