It used to be very difficult or impos- sible to lower the plywood in situa- tions where joists are close together, or I-joists are used in the construction. Not any more: Rapid Recess makes it simple and fast. rapidrecess.com Schulter Systems has introduced 16 prefabricated, sloped trays for showers with the KERDI-DRAIN point drain and KERDI-LINE linear drain. These additional shapes and sizes are designed to make it easier for tile professionals to choose a tray that suits the shower they are build- ing. Three of the new trays have r e d u c e d t h i c k n e s s with perimeter heights of 1” or less to simplify the design and construc- tion of curbless shower entries. Schluter shower trays now feature integrated KERDI waterproofing on the top of the tray that is easily integrated with Schluter drains and waterproof walls to construct a com- pletely waterproof and vapor-tight environment. schluter.com TileWare manufactures some of the most reliable and durable water- proofed anchoring technology for tile structures.

This allows for a floor-even instal- lation of the shower base over a plywood subfloor recessed and flush with the joists, but without cutting into floor joists. The installer can match a surrounding subfloor, which might be covered with a thin mem- brane for a tile underlayment only. To match up even with thicker back- er underlayments, the Fundo Ligno base can also be installed in a shal- lower recess, expanding options for the user. wedishowersystems.com
