View Full Version : Mosaic tile down to shower pan

Hello,

I have new basement shower install in which I used a neo round shower pan. We are tiling the walls with 1" mosaic tiles. My question concerns the area where the durrock meets the shower pan, there is about a 1" vertical lip until the bottom of the pan. I'm not sure how to tile down to the pan. I've read posts on this forum that say not to mortar tile to the pan itself, however I see no way around it since there would be no support for that last row of 1" tiles.

thanks

Just to confirm, does the Durrock drop down into the shower pan? What is causing the vertical lip?

The vertical lip is the part of the shower pan that is nailed to the studs. The durock then comes down to meet this "lip". In the instructions for the shower pan, it shows this last tile just covering this lip, unsupported, which if it wasn't mosaic, i guess would be ok.
