Product Information

Full details

The VEVOR Shower Curb Kit is an essential solution for homeowners and professional contractors looking to build a durable, watertight shower base. It is designed for those installing custom tile showers who need a reliable, high-pressure foam foundation. While it offers excellent moisture protection and drainage, the installation process requires a firm grasp of mortar application and waterproofing techniques to ensure a perfectly level, leak-free finish.

FAQs

Can the 38x60 tray be cut to a smaller size?

Yes, the EPS foam tray can be trimmed using a standard utility knife or a fine-toothed saw to fit smaller shower footprints.

What type of thin-set mortar should I use?

Use a high-quality polymer-modified thin-set mortar that is rated for bonding tile to foam substrates.

Is the stainless steel grate adjustable in height?

The grate assembly is designed to sit flush with standard tile thicknesses. If you use very thin tile, you may need additional mortar or a riser.

Does this kit work with glass shower doors?

Yes, the solid curbs provided in the kit are designed to support the weight of glass shower doors and frames when properly anchored.

How long until I can tile over the tray?

Refer to the drying time instructions on your specific thin-set mortar, typically 24 hours, before walking on or tiling over the assembly.

Troubleshooting

The tray feels spongy or uneven after installation.

This usually indicates inadequate mortar coverage beneath the tray. Always use the square-toothed trowel to ensure 100% coverage during the initial placement.

Drain flange is leaking after assembly.

Ensure the rubber gasket on the ABS flange is seated correctly and the clamping bolts are tightened evenly in a cross-pattern.

The membrane is bubbling or wrinkling.

Smooth the membrane from the center outward using a flat trowel or a wallpaper roller to force out trapped air before the thin-set cures.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive kit includes all essential waterproofing and drainage components

  • High-density EPS foam is both durable and easy to cut for custom sizing
  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel grate offers a professional finish
  • Includes specialized tools for precise mortar installation

  • Installation demands careful measurements before the permanent adhesive bond
  • Limited to 38x60 dimensions, though curbs and trays can be trimmed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before starting the installation.
  2. Drain Installation: Fit the 4-inch ABS offset bonding flange to your existing 2-inch drain pipe. Secure it according to local plumbing codes.
  3. Tray Bonding: Apply thin-set mortar to the subfloor using the provided square-toothed trowel. Press the EPS tray firmly into the mortar, ensuring no air pockets remain underneath.
  4. Sealing: Apply the HDPE membrane over the seams and corners using a high-quality waterproof sealant or thin-set, overlapping edges by at least 2 inches.
  5. Maintenance: Post-installation, the stainless steel grate should be lifted periodically to clear hair or soap buildup. The tray itself is non-maintenance, but inspect tile grout lines annually to ensure the long-term integrity of the waterproofing system.
