Note: Unlike Vinyl, Chloraloy and Roll-On Liners, Pre-Pitch will not be
used in this application. Quick Pitch Kits (#XFS-101.2 and #EXT-103)
with Quick Clips (#QC-109) will be the tools of choice.
1 Determine the size and shape of your shower including the Kerdi
Drain and its location.
4 After determining how many Float Sticks, both Standard and
Extended, are necessary, you will need 2 Quick Clips (#QC-109)
for every 36" run.
2 With the roughed-in 2 x 4 curb in place, measure the distances
from the drain to the walls, curb and corners.
Note: Quick Pitch Extra Float Sticks #XFS-101.2 are 36" in
length. If the distances are greater, Quick Pitch Extended Float
Sticks #EXT-103 kits will be required.
3 Starting in a corner, measure by 2–2½ foot increments around
the perimeter of the shower making sure a Float Stick will be
positioned in each corner.
Note: The closer the Float Stick ends are to each other, the
easier the screeding of the mud mixture will be.
5 To determine the quantity of Kirb Perfect #543 sections needed,
measure in 30" increments. Curb sections are 30" and have dove
tail connectors to attach to one another and will accommodate
any length or angles.
6 To figure the liner size (Schluter Kerdi Sheet Water Proofing),
measure the shower compartment length, width and wall height
so the liner will go up the walls to the height of the ceiling or to
where the tile ends and over the curb. Pre-formed inside and
outside corners and Kerdi Kereck Banding are necessary and
are available for this material, so be sure to figure all corners.

7 Once you have figured the kits and liner necessary
for your Goof Proof Shower, you will need to figure
the amount of bedding mud (mixture consist of 1 part
Portland cement and 4 parts clean sand) necessary to
fill the kits. Using the square footage of your shower
floor, multiply by 9.5 lbs. per sq. ft. (i.e. 3 x 5 = 15 sq.
ft. x 9.5 lbs. = 143lbs.). This amount should accommodate
all kits.
8 After all materials are gathered you will want to watch the
instructional DVD a time or two to gain confidence in the
steps necessary to complete you Goof Proof Shower. (The
DVD is accessible on line 24/7.)
