Great job! According to the directions that flange is suppose to be a 1/4" from the top edge of the shower base, why did you guys mount it so low? Does it matter?

We actually installed the flange exactly where the instructions told us to. In fact, it would be difficult to install the flange at any other height.

@@JohnWalker-ru3hp really glad you enjoyed the video. We like these kits a lot and have had zero issues with them. Pricing is all over the place today. I've talked to folks that are honest hard working people that do a good job that work 1 hour away from me and they are making 4x what I'm making to install a kit. For that reason I can't even give you a ball park.

I can understand that. In your opinion, do you think you could use an over mount install recessed niche? And then use the sealant around it? Wouldn’t it be similar to the same as the cutout for the shower handle/head? Thank you for helping, I’m just a home DYI’r

@miillersconstruction
@miillersconstruction 9 ай бұрын
Great question! In this particular application we used CleanSeal from Sashco. It only comes in white, but in this application I actually think white looks better. It really helps the panels to blend together even better. CleanSeal Is a special type of sealant that prevents mold and mildew from growing on it. Really nice stuff.

@@miillersconstruction Thanks for the quick reply. But, can you order a custom base with a hole placement of your choosing? Also, I just checked HD here in Canada and they do carry this kit but it does state it is strictly for 2” drains. Do they have one compatible for a 1 1/2” drain as it would save me breaking up a bunch of concrete to increase to two inches as a 1 1/2” to 2” reducer will be too high off the floor obviously? Thanks again.

Sorry, One last question. My cement floor is perfectly level after I used a self leveller and square (two sided shower walls x 2 sided glass is the plan but my plumb is out 1/4 inch over 84” in height. Do you see that as a major problem when installing your walls and glass walls/door etc? Thank you.

I know they won't have a different drain size for them. I'm not sure about a completely custom base but I would lean towards no on that. Sorry man.

It could be an issue but typically glass door manufacturers plan for those deficiency's. It definitely won't be an issue if you're using Castico wall panels. They are easy to trim and line up.

Hi again, one other question if ok? I’m very confused as info is so hard to get on this product. What exact size drain do I need to purchase for the shower base on the Castico 36” x 36” Neo angle solid base. I’m redoing the current drain in cement as the hole doesn’t match the 13” x 23” requirement. My new drain pipe will be 2” now vs the existing 1 1/2’z So the drain required is obviously 2” but for the top, is it 3”, 3 1/2”, 4” etc? If you know, can you recommend the exact name brand, model and size of drain I should purchase? Thanks so much.
