Hi People,
Need some quick advice. We are putting in a neo-angle fiberglass shower pan in a basement bathroom. However, the concrete floor is currently ~1/4" out of level, and plumber recommended to make it more level before final install. The GC wants to just use thinset to level it out. Is thinset going to work in this application?
I'm concerned that this is not a proper use of thinset and that over time it will degrade, fall apart and turn to dust. They have already used self-leveling concrete when it was even more out of wack, but we still have another 1/4" to go. I would think using concrete again (like Rapidset or self-leveler) would be better, but if thinset is fine, I'll take it.
Since they want to work on it on Monday, it'd be great if I can get some opinions soon.
Thanks in advance...
