new place, but use a strip drain as mentioned in previous posts.

<div>I'm coming around to the curb idea. I thought I'd
learned here in response to a previous question that a
curb was unnecessary, but with a plugged drain scenario,
yeah... <br>
<br>
</div>
EPDM pan sounds good to me. Would you slope the floor
beneath the EPDM? Is this a matter of sourcing some of it
and carefully folding the corners? <br>
Mortar - I can work with that. <br>

<div>Can't see any sketch and I don't know what
you've seen on-line but IMO, plopping down some
mortar on top of an EPDM pan is a lot easier and
quicker nd ultimately less costly in terms of time
and materials than futzing with wood and cement
board to make a sloped shower floor tile base.</div>

<div>re: No curb</div>

</div>
<div>Let's say the shower drain gets plugged with
hair (or worse) and someone has turned on the
shower and let it run unattended (or similar) and
a few gallons of water have not found their way
down the drain. Could easily happen.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How does the "no curb" design handle such a
scenario ? Is there a gutter somewhere else that
leads to a drain ?</div>

<div>Is there any reason I can't cut a
bunch of shallow wedges laid in a
radial pattern that feather toward
the drain, nail cement board on top,
tape the seams and lay down the
tile? <br>
<br>
This seems a lot simpler than some
of the instructions I find online.
My sketch above doesn't include any
membrane or treatment of the seams
where this sloped floor meets walls.
The shower in question is in the
corner of a small upstairs bathroom.
The walls will be tiled and I would
like/think I can get away with
avoiding a step/lip where the sloped
floor meets the rest of the bathroom
floor<br>
