Easiest Way to Waterproof OVER Dry Pack Shower Pan --- Hydro Ban Liquid Membrane

[@floydburkett630]

I just found the answer to my question in the previous posts. So the answer is yes you apply your thin set over the Hydro Ban and install the tile. Excellent thanks for this video and actually all the other videos you have uploaded.

[@cieslaolsztyn8266]

I dont get it..i thought you put the tiles direct before the drypack has dried? So why not then uce normal wet concrete if its anyway going to dry

[@vids595]

@@cieslaolsztyn8266 Concrete remains porous and not very water proof when dry. Special mixes and techniques are used when concrete has to be waterproof, like in a dam. The motarbed is not water proof either. When you shower water penetrates the grout, goes into the motarbed and down the drain.

[@cieslaolsztyn8266]

@@vids595 So this Hydro Ban is only because of the drypack? Does he use drypack only because its esyer to make a slope on the floor? I bet there are many showers with tiles fixed right on the concrete without any mambrane..no problem

[@ryankramer]

@@cieslaolsztyn8266 Not true. In those installs (If done right) underneath those drypack installations is supposed to be something like a 40 mil water proof membrane that diverts water to weeping holes in the drain. That's the old-fashioned way. (Not needed for installs done like THIS video though.) As others have said, concrete is porous and wicks moisture.

[@hackiehackerson]

I used this (packed the curb and floor myself) and did the corners with laticrete membrane tape because that was my biggest worry. It passed a 48 hr flood test and it's been used daily for almost two years

[@jacobberckefeldt1771]

I use the fabric with mapei aquamembrane and it surprisingly withheld the water test for 2 days. First time made me nervous, but now I'm standing by it. They even made the membrane a light blue so you can see your marks and lines when you lay tile

[@Gleeleeglee]

Wouldn’t it be cheaper and mote time efficient to just use a prefabricated copper shower pan?

[@ATruePrince]

Nice, was it difficult to do or did you find it pretty easy?

[@ralphemerson497]

Looks like this is much easier than the Schluter systems or the rubber sheets. Definitely going to try this on my next project. Thanks.

[@vzgsxr]

We use a lot of liquid applied membranes in Australia Isaac. This method is similar to what we do here, however we generally caulk in a fillet/bead of sealant on all internal corners prior to applying the liquid membrane (or sometimes a special bandage is used), this acts as a "bond breaker" allowing the liquid membrane to release and move Independently of the fillet/bead in areas of movement (eg at a wall to floor junction, or where 2 different substrates meet etc). We can also speed up the installation process by applying a water based epoxy primer over the bed the day after it has been installed, this epoxy coat acts as a "moisture/vapour barrier" allowing you work over the moist bed the next day, then you apply your liquid membrane the day after that. (No waiting 3 days for the bed to dry).

[@turboturd7954]

Im in Australia, whats the brands? Can I DIY?

[@davidotway8769]

I thought no sica flex in the corners or bandage was showing people how to do it wrong setting them up for failure. ..fellow aussie tiler

[@mikeyfoofoo]

The caulk tip sounds very logical to me. Thanks.

[@454Casull]

@@mikeyfoofoo just make sure your layer thickness and integrity is maintained during the application over the flexible caulking

[@falcon0500]

It isn't a tip so much as a requirement for most (all?) class 3 membranes, to have a bond breaker at all joints and including over any screw holes. Apperently using the fibreglass reinforcing tape with a class 3 reduces it to a class 1 membrane as it can no longer flex as designed. Also check requirements as most require a primer for proper adhesion... enjoy

[@ADOENDRA]

This is the best way to do it. I have made a stainless steel shower pan and glued the floor tiles in the pan. Cement will always flush away and you get leaks. We have a product called " DACFILL " equal to hydro ban. Normally used for roofs. Our show is now more than 16 years without leaks.

[@davidwertanen8302]

I've used this exact waterproofing method for the last three showers with a curb and a sloped dry pack pan. I have also used the curb overlay that Laticrete offers. Basically it sits over 3 two by fours. I noticed that after the first coat you may see pin holes in the corners etc.. The second coat or third coat will cover and fill all the pin holes. Then a 48 hour water test and then I'll use Ardex 5 thinset with the tile. Great video!

[@ryankramer]

48 hours?! Evaportion will happen by then, won't it?

[@davidwertanen8302]

I don’t think evaporation is a factor. I simply put a couple marks with a felt tip and kept an eye on the level.. I could see evaporation being a factor if it was outside like a pool but inside a conditioned space like a bathroom, evaporation is not an issue.

[@michaeldegroot7550]

We use a similar product like this in Europe for years. Works great!

Well, I've already learned several things. I bought and applied the Red Guard....so fingers crossed. I've only applied 1 gal....which did not cover my entire shower and walls. Our shower is 60"x36" with a slab floor circa 1967, and the drain is less than 8" from the wall. I already put another layer of Sand Mix and graded by using a laser at the perimeter. The grade is approximately 1" to the top of the Oatey 3 part drain. So here's hoping I pick enuf info from your videos. Thanks for the time you do making the videos. I hope my own home job will be a success...never done tile. House framing, yes, with lots of experience. My real conconcern is transition to the level sides of drain using my wife's selection of 1'x2' tiles coming in at an angle with the 60" grade slope.... again, this could be a fail in the making....

[@genefoster8936]

Great video. It would help if you show in the text what went on when. Example: Subfloor plywood followed by Durock Cement board followed by dry pack and membrane. Walls: Durock cement board followed by mesh in the corners, followed by liquid membrane. I try to write it all down and have to replay the video over and over to make sure I got it all. But your teaching is just great. Thanks.

And you wanna go perpendicular to the last coat. Great work.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Very nicely done 👍 my biggest pain point with mud beds is the wait time before applying waterproofing. I need to re-examine my procedure on a full bath remodel in order to do it. waiting 3 days before applying liquid waterproofing is too long for me…. Do you ever use the quick cure mud from laticrete? I’m guessing you could apply hydroban the first day with that? Great tutorial 👍

[@OBFTILE]

You can apply hbb sheet membrane right after mud if youre careful enough and use the corners banding etc

[@chichidouglas5078]

I prefab when I don't have time too wait on cure times. It's not hard but most people don't think about it or don't know it's an option but if you can build it in place you can build it at the shop

[@davidotway8769]

You need to apply sica flex in the corners cement bed and the wall sheets move independently of each other therefore hydro band by itself will tear and then you will have a water leak ..tiler from Australia

[@isaacbeckel2044]

Laticrete approves using hydroban without banding in changes of plane with a gap less than 1/8" and seams in hydroban board the same. But I agree the extra sealant underneath like latisil or sika flex or using the Hydroban fabric in the corners is ideal

[@RaulCojocariu]

That membrane is worth every penny, i use it all the time. They water proof olympic swimming pools with 3 coats using hydroban.

​@@chapothakid5080 i wouldn't recommend red guard on the bottom of the of the pan only on vertical surfaces like walls on vertical and horizontal seems.

@@RaulCojocariu how far up the wall would you recommend going with hydro ban? And can I go up 3ft and then redguard the rest of the way?🤣 trying not to break my little piggy.

[@RaulCojocariu]

@@jessicawilkerson9687 the cheaper way of doing it is to use denshield board instead of durarock , green board etc. The denshield has rubber on it already, use that at least 6ft high all around then get the fibafuse drywall tape and with hydroban put it on all joints and corners, with painting brush u apply hydro on the joints put the tape on the the joint and continue putting more on top untill u incapsulate the tape in the membrane. I like to use two coats on it and the u just put liquid membrane on the screw heads only. This should save you some. But to answer you question yes it can be done like you said. Redguard is not recommended on flat surfaces where water could pool like shower pans, even shower curbs, hydro is a much more superior product as its used in swimming pools as, with all this said you can use redguard to seal the joints on the wall as well just make sure that tape is well covered with the liquid membrane so its protected from the cement.

[@thinkblue22]

[@StephenMcDonough-eg5nm]

This is not the right way to do a shower pan install by any means there’s so many things he did wrong and that are against code where do I start? No pre-pitch under that shower membrane so when water leaks through to the shower membrane, it’ll sit there in puddles instead of being escorted to the shower drain, weep holes like it is designed to do Then he screwed holes in the shower pan membrane below curb level, with his dry pack for beginners idea. which is again a no-no and then finally putting the expensive ass roll-on membrane on top of the dry pack, which is counterintuitive to what it’s supposed to be doing. The whole job is wrong from start to finish people that make these videos on KZbin. I think they just pick a niche read up on it and think they’re a professional when in fact, giving false and very bad information that could potentially cause major leak and major damage to your home where is his license, because if he had one, he would know all this very dangerous to listen to people like this call a professional you get what you pay for remember

[@bradh9800]

@@StephenMcDonough-eg5nm With all due respect, you are way behind the times in shower pan technology. There is no pre-slope because using Hydro ban prevents water from ever getting down to the dry pack. And a flow FX drain doesn't even have weep holes. He drilled holes when making the slope because the membrane went over top of the holes in the form of Hydro ban. I would suggest that you put a little time into researching some of these new techniques. They would save you a lot of effort and headache.

[@StephenMcDonough-eg5nm]

Yeah, it will show me the code book where it says that that’s allowed just because you say it is doesn’t make it true why even put a shower pan and if that’s the case what do you need a shower pan for if that’s so great I’m gonna go with. It’s not as a plumber for a zero entry shower that means with no curb. You’re allowed to make a pen from the red guard but in that situation, you still have to pre pitch it. and do a water test for your inspection which I’m sure that what you’re doing you don’t pull permits or have inspections done because you know more than everyone else good luck again nothing personal I just don’t think you should be giving advice that’s not correct especially like I said before screwing screws below the curve line into the shower pan why would you do that? You have to know that that’s against code and not just against code was just wrong and every which way OK good luck take care.

[@stephenbrickwood1602]

Thicker membrane can stretch much more than thin membrane, Stretching a membrane causes it to thin, as it elongates across the future crack in the structure. so a 1 mill membrane can stretch 3 mill, but a 0.3 mill membrane can stretch only 1 mill before tearing. I think the...tiler from Australia, David Otway, has a good point. The flexible filler in the corners creates more room to move for the membrane.

[@stephenbrickwood1602]

Can you do a demonstration of how these liquid membranes can stretch after they have set. Say painting over a crack between two cement boards and then pulling them apart after they have set??? These surface membranes may be a very good second waterproof barrier that keeps the majority of the water out of the mortar bed. Then if dampness happens in the mortar bed, then the smells will not be a problem in the room, as the source is below the top membrane. Should a leak form then it will need to get around 2 waterproof barriers and the volume of water would be extreme small as the water rapidly runs off the floor tiles. Love your work.

You need a bridge between the two surfaces like sica flex or hydro band recommend a bandage to bridge the crack you can even use masking tape which acts as a slip joint

[@wyseguy77]

I'm not exactly sure if I understand but I'd like to chime in. While there is always some movement (extremely minimal), your question boils down to your substrate. If there's movement in the substrate do not start a tile project as wall board, waterproofing and even drypack is not meant to provide structural strength. As long as your substrate is structurally sound and your wall board is installed correctly your waterproofing will be sound. It all starts with the substrate. Tape ALL of your seams and corners (also where your drypack meets the wall board) with the appropriate mesh tape and thinset, then roll away with your membrane.

We use rubber roofing membrane before we even lay our durok. We put rubber in the corners and on the shower floor before we even lay the mortar for the shower bed.

[@sarcasticcrypto]

I don't believe the method described in this video is approved by the NTCA. The correct method on a wood floor is, cementitious sand mix add sparing water to hold shape when squeezed in hand, 3/4" @ drain, sloped up 1/4" per ft to walls with NO low spots that can puddle water, Let Dry. Install pan liner per manufacturer instructions, finish with the final sand mix, maintaining 1/4" per foot slope, let dry, then tile as per NTCA. (plenty of videos on the process.) Many people believe tile is water proof, It's NOT. The area behind tile in a shower needs to be waterproofed to keep water inside the area and down INTO the pan liner.

[@robertgoss7355]

This is how to do a shower with no pvc pan liner, and no preslope. With a liquid applied waterproofing.so the water stays on top and goes down the drain instead of traveling through the mud into the pan and out of the drain weep holes.

Fantastic stuff Isaac! You have been the most helpful source for tile DIY I have found - so thank you! Quick question.

Is it necessary when applying the liquid membrane over the tile pan? Can I skip that step and apply the membrane directly to the concrete?

[@dallinbagley4486]

Slide in DMs or an email for a question like this. Chances homeboy will see it in the comments are close to 0

I think applying the dry pack over existing sloped cement floor is how high is the drain that you are finishing to? If its flush with the cement, then no mud bed would be needed. Just clean the concrete very well and go for it. If you are addind a drain body, then the necessity for a mud bed is obvious. Apply membrane up and over the curb etc.

[@waymenlawrence2064]

​@rolanddelacruz6440 that's exactly what he means but the liquid membrane is taking the place of the sheet membrane so either way its still waterproofing weather it's sheet or just liquid membrane

[@michaelnitzel4738]

Great video! You're a very good teacher. I feel much more confident preparing a shower for tile. Thank you!

[@LUckybones25]

How do those foam pans hold up over time? Does the grout end up cracking due to movement?

[@pcskier3611]

This was not a foam pan, it was a sand bed.

[@TC-tw5zk]

If i understand right....just deck mud..no sheet membrane?

[@nedschack5047]

Never done a shower before but I’m trying to do my research and I’m loving your videos! I’ve seen other projects that go: pre-slope/liner/dry-pack/tile…does your method of a single dry pack layer topped with hydro ban accomplish the same thing? Thanks in advance for your advice!

[@StephenMcDonough-eg5nm]

No it’s completely a waste of time and money that stuffs not cheap and it should always have a pre-slope underneath the shower pan that’s code just about everywhere I know what that does any water that does it get below the tile grout in dry pack and gets down to the actual shower, remembering itself with that pre-pitch. It takes the water on the pan and runs it down to the drains weep holes which is the way it’s designed purposely to do so with no pre-pitch what I will just sit in a little puddles on the pan and eventually that a crack your dry pack, and your tile

[@bradh9800]

Don't listen to the naysayers. No pre-slope is required because hydro-ban does not allow water to contact the mortar bed at all. I finished a huge shower just as this video shows and it turned out great.

[@StephenMcDonough-eg5nm]

Don’t listen to this person then he’s already giving you bad advice by Tony The screw holes in your shower pan below the allowed height by code and then it’s telling you not to put in a pre-pitch which if he pulls any kind of permits for his jobs like he supposed to Fill fail every time so I’m gonna say he probably doesn’t pull permits Desi. Do you want to pay for something like that and take the risk that this person is smarter than the engineers at Oetay then by all means, follow his lead. I’m not trying to be negative. I’m just trying to help you out deal with it what you will

Tuning in from Buffalo, New York. I just ordered the FLO FX PVC flange kit today with the black grate. Looking forward installing this.

[@TileCoach]

Thank you! I saw the order ✊

@@TileCoach you are greatly appreciated.

[@HousesandCars]

I noticed that Aqua-Defense dissolves in water!! I was shocked to see it soften and turn to mush if water sits on it. Does Hydro-ban dissolve with water? I think a side-by-side comparison would be an awesome video.

[@marcellinasfigaro9364]

I’m curious as to why you didn’t do mesh tape between floor and walls?

[@Jasonkindramurphy]

So I pulled up tiles that the grout was decorated. Some of the dry pack came up too. What do you recommend

[@arieskauhi]

Soon as I seen hydro ban I subbed. I always use it.

[@39ttk]

If one did not want to go through the trouble of building a shower curb. Could one use a schluter curb with this method?

[@curiousone7863]

I'm curious why in this video you say that you don't need to use any reinforcing fabric in the corners but in the previous video I just looked at you installed reinforcing fabric?

[@mjordan421]

I’m installing a Neodrain linear drain with “conventional” drain flange and mud deck. Can I just put down the tar paper, lath, then dry pack with the slope, right to the height (or just below) the linear drain, leaving enough room for the tiles I’ll then put down? In other words, is there any need for 2 layers of dry pack - 1 pre slope, then water barrier (like what you used here) then 2nd layer of dry pack?

[@ricpereira4188]

in your opinion, why is hydro ban better than aqua defense? i do tons of microcement bathrooms and been using aqua defense for 3 years with no problems. what issues has it given you?

[@biblgrl6563]

So using this on a schluter pan with foam wallboard i don't need to install kerdi band on the pan when I am using liquid hydroban? Not worried about the schluter "warranty".

[@mr.nuna916]

So using that liquid membrane is better than an actual membrane in your opinion? Some people I'll just have their preferences obviously. But in your professional opinion how do you feel about that?

[@jeremi7214]

How is this different than using a 3 piece drain and using hydroban like you did here?

[@jimgow4991]

Is the Hydro Ban applied to the entire shower (walls) or just to the floor? If just the floor how far up the wall is recommended?

[@jla3772]

Is the liquid waterproofing as good as the membrane ?

[@halfpump]

Would you do the same system with goboard shower walls? Just hydroban alone over the pan, walls, and curb to waterproof everything?

[@alwayssearching1882]

I see you used fasteners in the curb and thinset it prior to applying the Hydroban. Is Starrr Tile right?

[@imtypingwords]

So if I was to use this on a shower, would I do the whole wall? Or only up a few feet?

[@NicoleG-hn6yw]

Is it a problem if I did a thin Schluter membrane under the dry back and then hydro ban over it? I’m worried now about the sandwich effect causing mold. Also I used red guard and am not super pleased. Can I use hydro ban over it?

[@williamp9158]

Deck mud, sheet membrane on the field, fabric tape with hydroban around the perimeter, and then just paint the whole thing for the heck of it. This way you don't have to wait for the mud bed to dry and you don't have to mess with those bands and corner pieces or folding corners with sheet membrane.

[@andynewfriends]

Great videos. QQ, can I leave the shower base just with Hydro Ban, no tiles on top? Would it peel off from hot water and soap?

[@frankcatrini4816]

i know its all about the tcna but why is it not right to use a 3 piece drain and do the same thing? i know it has everything to do with the drain itself, but if you use this hydroban on the drypack up to the edge of lets say an ebbe drain, are they saying that gap wouldnt hold and water would seep down from there? is that the only reason you need to use a bonding flange drain because of that particular failure point? thanks

[@Roy-ij1wq]

How do you finish the wall ends? Do you install drywall or durarock first and line the curb up so it is flush? Do you tile the wall ends?

[@henrycerda3246]

Is hydro ban compatible with heated flooring?

[@MichaelKelly-yu3nl]

When using the hydroban, am I looking for two thin coats? Im asking because i dont want to ruin the slope into the drain. My luck I would use to much and have water going the wrong way. 🥴

[@svetlanashchukina1793]

Do you need a 1/4 inch gap between walls and floor?

[@ETM299]

can you put a waterproof membrane over the hydroban for some redundancy or is it one or the other?

[@joeyorason6577]

Doesn't deck mud require 28 days to cure? What material do u use that cures fast enough to coat in waterproofing so soon

[@cjg7346]

@tilecoach I would still do a sheet membrane just to help keep dry pack together and then put liquid on top the next day.

[@IraklisKourtis]

Great video! I'd like to do the same for my washing machine and replace the ugly laundry pan. Which thinnest do you recommend for this application @TileCoach?

[@skdrcr]

Do you guys ever use go board for walls, custom niches, and custom curbs? I hear the sealant doesn't need bonding tape either

[@jtltet]

Can I add this liquid waterproofing over a sheet membrane to double up on waterproofing?

[@sewktbk]

Hey Isaac, would it make sense or would you reccomend putting Hydroban liquid membrane over an installed Schluter TT shower tray +drain+kerdi boards, prior to tiling? (I would still do all schluter waterproofing membrane steps) I have started a curbless shower install at my cottage, and i have since seen your videos about the kerdi failures when it comes to All-set/thinset, the kerdi membranes, capillary action etc. I have zero interest in preserving warranty coverage from any of these companies, my only interest is to build a lasting waterproof system that wont fail. I feel like an additional layer of hydroban liquid on top of everything would be desirable overkill. Any thoughts?
