Just installed a Tile Redi pan for my bathroom remodel and it surprisingly wasn’t that hard to install. Called Tile Redi directly and they were a huge help. I know it’s more money then most of the other systems out there, but I liked that it was a one piece system and it was abs plastic versus foam and doesn’t have the weak points like foam systems that fail in the corners, drain, and curb areas. I’d definitely recommend it.

[@andrewb4591]

Perfect timing. I literally have one of these in my basement ready to be put in very soon. Thanks for the amazing content!

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Definitely invest in that vibrating tool 👍 worth every penny. Links in the description of this video

[@livermush]

Ive installed one of these. I watched and waited till about the 41 minute mark when it was slightly hinted at how incredibly difficult it is to fill the underside of the pan with mortar when setting the pan. How the pan wants to float up out of level and how much of a mess the mortar is to use. I can't imagine ever installing one again. Good job installing it, it aint easy.

[@clayfenlason1240]

How does that overall difficulty compare with, say, Schluter-like systems where you have to independently set and seal corners, seams, etc., once you add them all up?

[@ronkort8927]

Nicejob

[@Grizz-one]

With that amount of morter, definitely will be sturdy shower, however the level of difficulty is higher than other systems.. Not to mention the huge shower curb. Id say Wedi is #1, laticrete foam pan #2, schluter #3 and then this system maybe in specific use cases. Overall great install and useful tips as always sir.

[@thflash09msr]

I’ve seen all those systems have failures whether it be the pan, drain, or curb areas. I’ve yet to see a Tile Redi pan fail because of it being a one piece design so yeah it’s a little bit more difficult to install but it’s more then worth it knowing you won’t have to worry about those failure points like in the systems you mentioned.

[@garrett8073]

Hi, as a fellow remodeler, i appreciate your work and your channel. I'm doing two bathrooms for a customer and I'm wondering if you can recommend a specific brand of shower door? I've used several but it occurs to me that you may have a favorite. Thank you.

[@MikeHoncho1775]

Does all that mortar that fell through go onto the ceiling below if you dont have access?

[@Dan-uj9vh]

Just installed a redi pan that 60 x 48. I got to admit it was stressful. Did use a vibrator tool . I took one of the walls out so there was just two to lay it against. This made it lot easier. This let the ozz come out. The one long wall was with the wall it had no were to ozz out so kept that end up . By the way it took me more like 5 hours. Waiting for it to dry before I claim victory.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

That’s a good size pan 👍 it’s nice the drain is sealed but would also be nice to have drain separate 😆 maybe they will make it compression fitting…that would make a world of difference

[@TileRedi_US]

@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher 👀 - We're working on it...

[@jamesmccloy8195]

Great instructional video! Question: If I didn't plan to tile my shower walls, could I still use Redi wall panels or Go Board and install Flexstone acrylic over top the wall panels? Redi wall panels and Go Board seem easier to work with VS greenboard.

[@TileRedi_US]

Yes, you can install an acrylic wall panel over our Redi Wall boards.

[@edwardgrier7096]

Great video. I have a 42" x 5" pan, how many bags would you recommend i use of the Type S mortar ?

[@cfomusic73]

150lbs of mortar! That's insane man. Thank you for showing me this video.... Now i know i will never use one for my customers.

[@Frankie431]

I like how you always show raw footage and the ugly side of things when it comes to remodeling, people can be very judgmental and quick call you out for things you do or not do. But most haven’t spent a day in an actual construction environment. Setting this pan with no access to the plumbing below is harder than building a liner/mortar shower pan 🤣 We had an old school plumber install one of these and it leaked on the drain connection because he miscalculated and only ended up with about 1/4 inch of pvc to pvc connection 🤣

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Thank you 😊 only experienced ones recognize the realities of contracting 😆 I’m always trying to improve 👍

[@bassmaster1930]

Why do you have you have to use self leveler? Since you use mortar wouldnt that just get to level?

[@boomer_kingsley6463]

Does the curb need to be filled with mortar as well? I’m trying to figure out how the curb will support a glass wall plus foot traffic if it’s not filled with mortar like the rest of the pan? ( just ordered a tile redi pan) thanks

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

No it does not need to be filled to support a shower door. You’d be amazed at how much foam can handle after being tiled. But ultimately if you feel better about filling with mortar, definitely nothing wrong with that 👍

[@mpd1982]

Would be interested to see you compare this install to the KBRS system install.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZqweKOYfLCMmrMsi=YTb0MZEVyTBXpc-B

[@TR4Ajim]

⁠@@BathroomRemodelingTeacherit would be nice to see a comparison using a KBRS pan with integral flanges like the Tile Redi has.

[@jeremyrebel8931]

From what it looks like the reason the drain was to high when u set it in was the fact the pan slopes to the middle so the middle of the motor bed needed less height from the edges. So the stick u made with the height level was just for the outside edges? Looking under the pan that u had the depth was definitely less towards middle.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Correct 👍

[@Eternalityy.]

Incorrect. That is why he said he took off a 1/4 inch from the 1 and 1/2 inch measurement of the outside edge. This is the recommended way to do it from tile redi. Take your largest measurement, subtract 1/4 inch ,then pour. Perfect install.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

@@Eternalityy. I called rep and asked about this before installing. that's what I was told. And instructions do say what you are mentioning. After this installation, I would recommend the 1/4" but also taper the mud to conform to pan. So 1/4" below every section of pan. This will help out install. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@TR4Ajim]

Does Tile Redi offer pans without the drain already installed?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Yes, the custom order ones 👍

[@TR4Ajim]

@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher Thanks!!👍

[@tedmcdonald3377]

😎⚒️😎⚒️😎

[@jt5747]

Wouldn't it have been easier to install the drain from below since you seem to have access down there?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Pretty sure you know the answer to that 😂

[@jt5747]

@BathroomRemodelingTeacher Hopefully, you can do one of these on a concrete foundation.

[@cheynecole]

And how about an exact tutorial on cutting the riser height and how much to allow for. I swear no matter how loose the mud is it’s still an 1/8th you need to add to the riser height. It’s lacking in all the tutorials and the instructions

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

How about you listen and watch the whole damn video 😆 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGbQgpyIp8eoq5Y&si=FfQlLXKl7_lVfSSr

[@cheynecole]

Need to spend more time showing exactly how runny the mortar needs to be. Video doesn’t do it justice. Use an orbital sander to vibrate the pan. No pad just set it on a microfiber cloth Check your corners if you hear too much squeaking when you dry fit you’re rubbing on something too much. My 20 year old studs needed to be shaved a bit so all sat in without rubbing and leaving the pan uneven.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Again speaking before watching 👍

[@jt5747]

The price of that tool doubled in price from 38:26 to 43:37 !! That's Bidenflation right there, folks.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Thanks for watching 👍
