Hi, new here, looking to do a curbless shower. The space is a tub replacement with dimensions of 32" x 60" and being a tub replacement the drain is offset with floor joists running parallel to the width, 32" side. I've been looking at a few of the tile over shower pans, and really like the Kerdi setup. The one that works for my setup is
ST-81/152BR. According to their shower systems data sheet, the thickness of this pan is 1-1/2" at the perimeter.
The current subfloor thickness is 3/4" so I could cut that out, put some 2x4s in along the joists and drop the floor by that amount. There is also a 1/4" plywood on top of the 3/4" outside the shower space so I'm effectively 1" from the shower subfloor up to the tile subfloor. That leaves me a gap of 1/2" still. I can raise the subfloor outside of the shower but that would raise it higher than the transition to the hallway outside (which is only 3/8" difference from current subfloor to top of hardwood in the hall).
I can't think of any way to make the math work. Are there other pans out there that would give a 1" or less height with that size space and an offset drain? Thanks.
