Why do you say that?

[@teliramirez3914]

@skyhighactiondrones5453 Not enough waterproofing prep imo. I do a sealer and flash corners as part of my prep, but that's just me.

Whenever those new building products come to market, only time will tell how long they will last. Typically, the lifetime warranties aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

[@loisfolk5492]

Used panel like that fir my bathroom. Easy to clean. Love them.

[@vicO1323]

Corian is waterproof and comes in 60" wide eliminating the one seam in the middle of the back wall. There are other plastic or man made walls that are waterproof. I have a shower and bath walls 60" wide made of acrylic that were installed in 1986 and still in good shape.

Excellent work. Im impressed that you took this on and with little help.

No disrespect but you never use cement board without waterproofing it... Because those panels will leak in the future.... This is no different than what these local bath fitters and bathroom in a day, people use.. has a contractor, I rip out so many of these systems it's not even funny.... And I generally find so much rot and mold behind those panels that it wind ups costing the customer so much more money to repair.... I'm not busting on the work you did, just try to offer a little bit of advice... Always use a waterproof membrane on any backer board... It's just one simple step that can potentially save you thousands of dollars in the future...

[@nicolasarcana6139]

Facts. I’m literally remodeling my Mom’s bathrooms because the appraiser said their was mold in the walls through a single freaking crack in the grout. My mom’s lived here for about 27 years. It was a brand new shower too. I was told if they water proofed the walls then I would’ve just had to replace the tile with panels to make it easier for her to clean. This turned into a nightmare!

[@evelynreid8788]

Thank you for confirming what I thought about those shower I stalls in a day. They don't last long because they don't do a moisture barrier

One would think for the money, the manufacturers could come up with caulkless attachment systems.

Good point.

[@bobgruntz1881]

Its a nice job but i had that and i just got leaking everywhere over time, had to rip out and reinstall with tiles 😢

Where did it leak? What caulk did you use

Cant wait to tear it out in 5 years and redo the floor/studs that rotted out. 😂 This is what i do for a living, and trust me this is not something you should be posting.

[@AndrewCantonTV]

it's not gonna rot. in old houses they did the same stuff and it never rotted for 20 yrs

[@drmarsh4287]

@@AndrewCantonTV if you say so. It's not like I do this for a living or anything. Oddly enough mostly in old houses. Best part is I also have to replace the subfloor because they couldn't see the rot and it rots out the joist too.

[@Ffoo_ffighter]

Durock in 2023?

[@Ffoo_ffighter]

@@drmarsh4287 It's cause of durock the cement board right? You need a waterproof backer board for the capillary action of steam seeping into the durock which will in turn soak the frame and subboard.

[@Ffoo_ffighter]

Thats cheap?

[@peytonoates2271]

Thats very cheap VS. solid surface granite or having a pro do tile for you. Im having solid surface granite installed in mine and will be about 5K. A tile guy that knows what hes doing was going to charge quite a bit more. That was after several quotes from tile installers.

[@Ffoo_ffighter]

@@peytonoates2271 $15 to $20k for a new shower is insane. It's not even that hard. Only making sure it's waterproofed is "hard".

300$ per panel 4x8

$900 + tax…I just bought them at Home Depot. Only one hime Depot has it on display but you can order online. The shower base is $350 + tax fyi. These have the look of marble n high grade material. They are beautiful

[@liononline84]

@@Antzzz_Manzzz ​@UCycHzLH45ugJCBCedh47aLA Holy moly so she used 4 penals so that's 1200 + tax only for the penals!! OMG. so if someone is making this job for work how much he is going to ask for everything!! I'm wondering!!

[@Antzzz_Manzzz]

@@liononline84 the wall panels are 4 pieces at $900 total plus tax. The base is $360. Labor depends on your contractor charges. Many complications can arise and so you have to modify accordingly. Looks simple but very tedious n contractor can charge labor up to $4-7k in my estimation

[@Antzzz_Manzzz]

@@liononline84 it’s critical the wall are flat so that the panel fits perfectly attached to the wall. Lots of little specificity have to account for and so need to modify if you’re redoing your bathroom shower yourself.
