Right now we are going to build a shower pan with tile.

Tile over cinder block shower. Building a cinderblock shower stall includes working with concrete blocks building a shower base designing your shower creating a base plumbing and more. Press the tile back into place touching both lines. Yet this application does make sense since concrete is heavy solid and is typically thought of as an unbending uncompromising material. I have seen painted cement block showers that look pretty nice but i haven t been able to find the right kind of paint to use at home depot.

Installing tile directly on concrete. Check the level with a carpenter s level and make adjustments to tile height where necessary by pressing a tile further into the thinset or pulling a tile free and adding height with additional thinset applied to the tile bottom. Hope this is helpful. For the shower floor consider using snapstone porcelain tile that snaps together and floats.

Pick up the tile nearest the center of the floor and spread adhesive with the trowel over the bare floor. Good luck with your project. My wife is not so sure. Ventilate and dehumidify the area before during and after the installation because basement walls are usually susceptible to moisture.

Cover the spread thinset with the tiles then place a plywood board over the tiles and press the board down onto the tile faces to level the tile out. Find out why you can apply a tile mastic right on top of paint if it is well adhered to the cinder block and not loose. Constructing a cinderblock shower in a bathroom for instance is easier than building a shower stall from scratch outside of the home. For tiling over tiles in bathroom walls you ll need to set up sheets of waterproof membrane in between the concrete wall and tiles.
