How to Build shower Curb - Part 2 - Pouring The Concrete And Creating The Curb

This Part 2 videos shows in details step by step how to build a shower curb using concrete. A Quikrete concrete is mixed and then is poured into the curb frame and then it pushed into the frame and level in order to create a level shower curb. The curb frame is constructed from 2 boards and it set in a way to create a 1/4 of an inch slope toward the shower drain

This is the best video for building a curb on slab I have found. No 2*4 curb B's, just nice solid concrete. I also really like how you dealt with the walls

[@DilettanteDon]

Thank you for sharing and teaching us Joseph.

[@josephk9182]

Any time.

[@yorkrojas1452]

Thanks a Million!!!

[@josephk9182]

Any time.

[@guardgilbert]

Thank you for the video.

[@josephk9182]

Any time.

[@EJfromNYC]

you didn't explain how you did the slope? and do you still need an adhesive if you use an angle grinder to rough up the concrete to help it bond?

[@josephk9182]

It is not clear which slope you are asking for. Is it the slope curb or the shower ? No I did not need to use grinder to rough the concreate.

[@EJfromNYC]

@@josephk9182 the slope for the curb...

[@EJfromNYC]

@@josephk9182 the slope for the curb, did you cut the outer form higher than the inside form? and what wood did you use? 1x6? your other videos you kind of go above and beyond like waterproofing the mud bed before the bedliner which I dont see anyone do, but for the curb you didnt do anything special besides the adhesive? I bought the adhesive, but I am wondering if I should add a rebar or two? or is that not needed? I am about to do this curb this week, I really appreciate you replying. Thanks for the videos, not that many on youtube when it comes to these concrete curbs.

[@kellyhill430]

Fantastic curb except its wider in the middle than it is on the ends. You should have put supports from the walls to the center of the curb to keep it from blowing out. Other than that fantastic

[@josephk9182]

Yes I did it but does not show in the video. I just run out of support when I made the video.

[@mathusvaiaoga9787]

Where does the liner go?

[@ajducey1868]

I was thinking of using a low profile concrete curb in my shower. I have a wood floor though, with a crawl space under. How would I keep it securely in place?

[@willyorfanos]

Should of mixed it in the toilet...Concrete curbs last! Also when installing rubber pan, you need to allow pan to enter curb for proper installation

[@aromero9243]

Why not mix it outside and then wheel barrel it into the the bathroom? 🤦‍♂️

[@josephk9182]

You right it would be better.

[@seemorebutts3428]

Good job, smart 1

Thank you.

I HATE wood curbs .. this is great

[@josephk9182]

The same.

[@ChampG2002]

Great videos! Glad I found your channel.

[@josephk9182]

Thank You

[@happyday2678]

Joseph, really great stuff -- exactly I have been looking for because I don't like wood-based curb. Instead of all concrete, can I stack two layers of bricks before pouring in the cement mix to make the process easier for a novice? Thanks!

[@josephk9182]

You can but I am wondering how can it make the process easy ? You first must make sure that the bricks are attached to the floor with a proper mortar before pouring the cement mix.

[@happyday2678]

Joseph K thanks for replying. It’s because I wanted to save the work of making large amount of mortar. I imagine I can copy your molding method by layering some mortar to form a base then put in some bricks to occupy the volume and finally filling the rest of the space with mortar. In effect, sealing the bricks inside concrete/mortar.

[@josephk9182]

@@happyday2678 Yes that is OK.

[@joshgarcia8414]

Can you use this method building a curb on all showers?

[@josephk9182]

Yes if the floor is concrete (This is the way to do it properly). In case of plywood floor you should take other approach, but you still better off using concrete to build the curb.

[@hockeyman1]

Hi. What's the point of using bricks at the curb when the surrounding of the shower is wood.im rally confused .

[@josephk9182]

I am not using brick. I am using concrete which will never rotten or break like a wood cub. My shower is on concrete floor. The only wood you see is the studs.

[@hockeyman1]

@@josephk9182 I see but your studs are sitting on wood . Won't it rot one day ? Last question for you can you post a link for what kind of thinset you using Thank you very much.

[@josephk9182]

The studs will not rot because they are protected by the liner. Most shower failed because of the curb failed as a result of water penetrate to the curb. Basically you have to put on the wood curb backer boards and screw it to the board this will eventually result water perpetration into the curb wood destroy the wood. The second reason it is less expensive, robust and less work to waterproof it. To build the curb I am not using thinset I am using concert.Thinset you use to install tiles. Please verify what you need. Thank You.

[@hockeyman1]

@@josephk9182 I've seen a video of you building a shower on concrete . You applied some thinset. Wanted to know if you have a link or a photo of what kind you using. Thanks again

[@josephk9182]

I usually use Mapei or Laticrete modified thin-set.

[@MrRBKSR]

I see the form fattening at the middle , no blow protection.

[@josephk9182]

Not correct. It is perfectly level.

[@MrRBKSR]

Level yes, fat (WIDER) in the middle

[@JC-fb9nz]

where's the liner,,,??? that goes in brought up to the curb like lip,,,boards go in ,,and pour concrete between inside and outside of the raised pan

[@josephk9182]

The PVC liner come above the curb.

[@donovanmitchell6524]

J C no shit I thought the same thing

[@tileman30years6]

You should have poured the liner into the middle of the curb. I guess I'm going to have to make a video. I have yet to see one done right.

[@robbiebobbie2011]

tileman 30 years how do you get the pan liner in the middle of the curb?

[@RoddyDa]

Robert Daniels tile man 0.0025 years. My guess would be fold corners on curb side like you would on wall side for liner and set form over liner and pour your concrete. Bam!

[@mathusvaiaoga9787]

Someone over calculated the concrete needed

[@josephk9182]

Yes I did.

[@SteeledJester]

You guys don't see the craziness of mixing concrete in the house like that? Not only will there be concrete dust all over the place but as they mix it they are getting concrete mud all over over the place... SMH!

[@josephk9182]

Not true . Not dust at all.

[@SteeledJester]

@@josephk9182 how not? You can see it in the video...
