Hi,
I am a DIY'er with an interest in this type of work. I enjoy watching reno shows and really like to turn some of that into projects around the house.
I am currently renovating my master bathroom and I am working on the shower. I thought I planned well however, Ive run into a bit of an issue. I used a 32x60 off center schluter kit and extended it to a 36x72 with dry pack. I plan to use a 12x24 tile in the shower (I know this is frowned upon for safety and ease of work but I really dont want many grout lines).
The issue I have is what to do with the pre slope on the schluter. I dont want diagonal lines to follow the pre slope. Can I ignore/change (it will be relatively similar but not follow it exactly) the preslop and create my own? I was thinking about making a trench across the drain and have the tile on both sides pitch towards it. I saw a picture where someone used tile edging to create the trench. Can I do it without a trench? Because the edges are relatively the same height, wont the water run down to the middle and towards the drain anyways? I plan on using tile leveling system to keep lippage to a minimum.
Thanks
