TISETV2024 Tile Redi Broadcast

[@TR4Ajim]

It looked like the bottom of the “white” pan was mostly flat. Other of your “white” pans I’ve seen on KZbin appeared to have ridged bottoms throughout, and require a mortar bed. Are all “white” pans now flat on the bottom, and can be installed with thin set as shown here?

These new flat bottom pans are a new shower pan that we are introducing to the market early 2025. We are very excited to introduce an even easier way to install a shower pan without to worry about any seams to seal or floor to pitch. Stay tuned!

[@carlkrewler4084]

I was wondering if you have any idea when the " new" flat pans will be available at a retail stores like Home Depot etc. The install looks much less troublesome than a mortar base.

Dang that looks awesome! Wish mine was the flat bottom

? 1. Why no flashing on the shower pan wall like it shows in the Tile Redi instructions on their website? So just a but joint with no flashing on the shower pan wall is acceptable? The pan you installed doesn’t have the deep grooves underneath that require approx a. 1-1/2” of mortar. Have you changed the design of the pans? Your website still shows the need for a approx 1-1/2 inch motor bed required instead of an application of thinset that was done in this demo.

The flashing is an option, in this case we did not use it and only used the MS Polymer (Redi Sealant). Used according to the instructions will also provide a waterproof seal on the splashwall. You are correct, the shower pan installed is a different pan than you may have used in the past or see on our website. It is a flat bottom shower pan (Pro Line) similar to our custom pans and do not need to have the mortar installation filling up the ribs. This is currently available to the commercial market in limited sizes.

So why the NEW FLAT bottoms? Why did they switch from the Pans that were webbed?

[@TileRedi_US]

We wanted to find an even easier way to install our shower pans. This is a new design similar to that of our custom pans (flat on the bottom). Our ribbed pans are still available on our website and most retailers.

[@WGS1111]

Similar to flat earth eh?

[@WGS1111]

The instructions read do not step in pan after setting?

[@TileRedi_US]

You are correct, we will be making a change to that since many contractors and DIY'ers have shown us that it helps in the installation process and does not harm the pan.

@@TileRedi_US thank you for sending this.

[@tonycopelyn8730]

In terms of water proofing and longevity; no concerns about installation times…does tile ready have a clear advantage over cement backer board products like USG or Perma and roll on water proofing?

[@TileRedi_US]

Yes, with Redi Wall boards, you don't need to worry about applying or roll-on any additional waterproofing membrane. No special fasteners are needed either, all you do is screw it to your framing and cap off the screws with our Redi Sealant.

[@grandpasbiblestories]

These walls are tough I did some tests before installing. I attached a scrap piece to a 2x4 using one deck screw. We could not physically pull the board off unlike go board and cement boards. Also, we glued a butt joint together using scrap and the redi sealant and could not pull them apart after it set. Very tough and easy to work with.

How can I find an experienced installer in Dallas?

[@oliviernguyen1942]

i do not find the flat bottom on your website

[@TileRedi_US]

They are not available for sale on our website just yet. We are launching them in the commercial market first.

[@carlkrewler4084]

@@TileRedi_US So when would they be available at Home Depo ect. Will the new be as new base be as the solid ?

[@Jerrywekar7621]

What type of thinset

[@TileRedi_US]

The installation instructions will provide you with the recommended thinsets. They differ for the wall and the pan.

TileRedi may be a great product in theory, but the documentation and customer support and how to really install and blend with other products (which they should have in their line) is awful. I don't think they really know their own product. Isaac is awesome and I feel I'll have to spend $200 bucks to get a consultation just to use their system. Want to use the barrier free, curbless. Really try and find good install info on this product. Please let me know if I've missed it somewhere.

[@TileRedi_US]
