1 Determine the size and shape of your shower including the drain
type and its location.
2 To determine the quantity of Handi-Kirb (#283) sections needed,
measure in 30" increments. Curb sections are 30" and have dove
tail connectors to attach to one another and will accommodate
all lengths and angles.
3 With the roughed-in Handi-Kirbs placed in position (do not
secure Handi-Kirbs yet), measure the distance from the drain
to the walls, curbs and corners.
Note: Quick Pitch Float Sticks #QPK-101 and Pre-Pitch Float
Sticks #STD-201 are 36" in length. If the distances are greater,
Quick Pitch Extended Float Sticks #EXT-103 and Pre-Pitch
Extended Float Sticks #EXT-202 kits will be required.
4 Starting in a corner, measure by 2–2½ foot increments around
the perimeter of the shower making sure a Float Stick will be
positioned in each corner.
Note: The closer the Float Stick ends are to each other, the
easier the screeding of the mud mixture will be.
5 To figure the amount of liquid membrane, measure the shower
compartment length and width and add at least 36" or what is
needed to all sides so the liner will go up the walls to a height
of 3' or more on all walls and over the curb.
6 Once you have figured the kits and liner necessary for your Goof
Proof Shower, you will need to figure the amount of bedding mud
(mixture consist of 1 part Portland cement and 4 parts clean
sand) necessary to fill the kits. Using the square footage of your
shower floor, multiply by 16.55lbs. per sq. ft. (i.e. 3 x 5 = 15 sq.
ft. x 16.55 lbs. = 248.25lbs.). This amount should accommodate
all kits.
7 Once all materials are gathered, you will want to watch our
instructional DVD a time or two to gain confidence in the procedure
necessary to complete your Goof Proof Shower. (The DVD is
accessible online 24/7.)
