Rubber Lining in a Shower Stall

Generally, a shower stall is lined with a lead shower pan beneath the base of mortar and tile. Though when this technique was invented, it was found quite innovative but in practical usage the truth is far from it. Such kind of arrangement most often fails to sustain a long enough life span and the very purpose for which it is being installed. Now-a-days a very simple solution is being used to overcome this nagging issue of leaking shower stall, that is, installation of a rubber liner before laying the tiles in a given shower stall. Not only is the installation of rubber lining quite easy, but it also serves the purpose of a leak proof shower stall.

Here is a step by step procedure to install a rubber liningin a shower stall.

Step 1
The very first step while installing a rubber lining in a shower stall is to measure the dimensions of the shower stall floor and also add 6 inches more to the actual dimensions on all four sides respectively.

Step 2
Now the next thing to do is to cut an appropriately measured rubber lining as per the floor dimensions. For this, one needs to lay out the rubber lining on a clean floor and chalk out the measured dimensions of the floor onto the rubber liner. Once the dimensions are marked well on the rubber liner, the next step is to cut it with the help of a box cutter.

Step 3
After cutting the measured rubber lining, its time now to lay this measured lining onto the shower floor. Once you are through with its laying on the floor, make a hole over the drain using a box cutter again.

Step 4
Lastly, smooth out the laid rubber liner neatly to all the four shower stall corners and fix this liner in the wooden frame with the help of screws and power drills. Look out for excess lining and trim it out for a clean and neat look.
