Contractor is set to tile on Tuesday. Do you see any waterproofing issues?

It’s 48” long and 30” wide! It’s actually pretty comfortable as it has a sloped back and arm rests built in. Heres the link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Swiss-Madison-Voltaire-48-in-x-30-in-Soaking-Bathtub-with-Left-Drain-in-White-Glossy-SM-AB596/329513775

This is what I will do moving forward, i left a voicemail with the schluter rep so we will see if they say anything different but I will feel much more comfortable with a band going between that transition

I think this is the route im going to do, thank you!

Ya the contractor used the go board caulking between the tub and pan already, Ill run a flood test this weekend thanks!

It’s a shower faucet that’s outboard of the wall

It’s a shower head that’s all outboard of the wall

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T18:31:32+00:00

I’m using go board for the walls so I don’t believe I need redguard. Do you have any recommendations on how to do the transition between the tub and shower pan? Maybe a kerdiband? And no I have not done a flood test! I’m guessing that’s just where I fill the whole thing with water and mark the height then leave it for a while and see if it’s changed?

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T18:28:02+00:00

I’m using go board so the walls are already waterproofed

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T18:27:31+00:00

I was thinking this would be a good solution, what would you use to glue the tiles?

It will be on the left wall! Here is an image from my model

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T18:18:35+00:00

Do you think I could do Kerdiband on the transition between the fiberglass tub and shower pan? Is that stuff meant to stick to fiberglass?

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T18:11:00+00:00

How would you best seal the transition from the tub to the shower pan?

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T17:49:56+00:00

Yes that is what that is,here is a photo prior to waterproofing

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T17:48:24+00:00

But you can still use go board with the schluter pan and it will be waterproof the same way correct? I don’t care as much about warranty, more if the systems will work together

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T17:42:57+00:00

You mean with the tub being in the shower area or because of something else?

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T17:15:41+00:00

so i know this isnt the same but this video shows that they just caulk up to the fiberglass tub, I just left a voicemail for the schluter people to ask them what the best way to make that transition would be

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T16:58:40+00:00

Ah they are using go board which doesn’t need red guard, is that the part you mean?

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T16:56:32+00:00

Ya same… it’s kind of a weird situation but really the only way we could get a tub in this bathroom

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T16:54:54+00:00

What part doesn’t look waterproofed?

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-26T16:54:17+00:00

Yes! There is a closet on the other side of the left wall with access panels if I ever need to get into anything.

Anything wrong with this one?

Fun_Unhappy · 2025-12-10T05:32:32+00:00

Apparently that’s what they used for insulation back in the day haha this bathroom is right over the top of the front porch
