the easiest, fastest way to build a curbless, level-entry shower is with an ARC shower base
installing this shower base and waterproofing your shower can be completed in one day
with a TrueDEK shower base you avoid all the difficulty and risk of notching, lowering, or altering the joists
ARC TrueDEK shower bases take away all of the guesswork and make building a shower so much easier
this shower base is 1″ thick at the edges
cover this base with tile or stone (from ¼” to 1″ thick); this base can also be covered with commercial, weldable vinyl flooring
to build larger showers use ARC pitch extensions or appropriate mortar products, or install TrueDEK shower bases side-by-side
install TrueDEK bases on any type of joists, on subfloor, or on concrete
to complete your shower installation you will need an ARC waterproofing kit and a drain assembly for tile (choose a drain for vinyl only if you install commercial, weldable vinyl flooring)
tile that is 2″ x 2″ or smaller conform to the contours of this shower base t o maintain the pitch; for tile larger than 2″ x 2″, make valley cuts so that the tile lays properly on all pre-pitched surfaces
when installed properly on joists, all TrueDEK Classic bases will support 800 lbs. or more
