I'm building a shower enclosure (32 x 70) on a concrete floor. The drain is right against the wall on the short side. Since I have, essentially, one plane to slope I'm thinking of doing the following: 1) Apply rubber membrane on floor with hospital corners to 10 inches high and put in the appropriate drain 2) put in mortar to the slope needed (1/4 per foot). 3) while the mortar is still wet put down fiberglass reinforced cement board and firmly set in the mortar.
Is this going to work? What do you think? Your comments will be appreciated.
