Hi all,
I am trying to decide how best to shim an A.S. Cambridge tub level.
The install is in a basement with polished concrete floors. The floor is 1/2" out of level on the long dimension of the tub (away from the drain). We are planning to tile the surround.
I was planning to shim the apron and install probably a piece of PVC trim to cover the gap. We won't have a tile floor to cover it up since the floor is polished concrete.
I was thinking of ripping a 5' length of pressure treated 2x4 to create a level surface for the apron to sit on. So something like 1/2" thick at the high end and 1" and the low end. And use tapcons and construction adhesive to secure in place.
I was thinking this is better than shimming say with cedar shingles as the PT wood would last longer (?) and I'd have something to attach the PVC trim at the base of tub to.
Would much appreciate any feedback and suggestions on my plan/situation.
Thanks!
Marlan
