Step 11
Make your final connections to the drain. Make sure
connection is snug but do not over tighten.
Step 12
You will now begin waterproofing the wet room.
BEST PRACTICE: To achieve the best results, we
recommend waterproofing the whole room.
Minimum requirements, shown in these instruc-
tions, show you that you only have to waterproof
the shower zone, which is 6 ½ feet high and about
2 feet outside of the showering area.
Materials needed for wet room waterproofing.
Step 9
On top of existing subfloor and walls install cement
backerboard in preparation for tiling. Make sure
that the top of the backerboard is roughly 1/8”
higher than the Fusion pan. Start with a bed of
thinset using a 1/4” notched trowel. Next, attach
the first layer of 1/2” backerboard with 1 1/4” cement
board screws 8” on center. Then, making sure to
stagger the joints, attach the second layer of 1/2”
backerboard with 1 5/8” cement board screws 8” on
center. Finally, finish the joints with alkali-resistant
mesh tape.
Step 10
Check that the Fusion Pan is level on all four sides.
Fill in any gaps around the perimeter of the pan over
1/8” with latex or acrylic caulk.
Do not use 100% silicone.
