extensive brainpower here for nearly 17 years. I'm certain
I've gotten much more back than I've given. The proper name for
what I call a strip drain is a trough drain. The URL is of a
sample (I would not buy from the supplier noted--they are
expensive. That said, it was the best pic on a quick internet
search.)</font></font></p>

<div>I do love this list. Can't believe I've been pestering
you folks with questions for almost 18 years here. <br>
</div>
I am not familiar with a strip drain in a shower, though I
think I understand the thinking that would suggest looking
into something like this. Are there examples of these you
could point me to? <br>
<br>

thanks all!<br>

<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><br>
</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>
