In this bathroom we installed a 4' x 5' shower and used the Schluter shower kit which included a 48" x 72" shower pan, which we cut to size. Our wall substrate was drywall and that will be waterproofed using Schluter's KERDI membrane. Schluter recommends drywall for this type of installation.
Also, 8 feet of curb comes with the kit, and we'll show how to cut those down to 5 feet.
Schluter shower systems require a solid subfloor and in this example we had a 3/4" plywood subfloor. Check the floor is level by using a 4 foot level.
In this shower we installed a 12x28 inch shower niche in the corner of the shower plumbing wall, which was the only interior wall. It's important to only install shower niches inside interior walls. We had to cut the edge of the niche and customize it for this installation because our tile will run into it from the main wall.
Niches are installed using Schluter screws and washers. Cut and fit drywall around the niche and the rest of the walls in the shower. It's imperative the shower stud walls be plumb and even with each other. Screw drywall to the studs using acceptable building code screw spacing and screw length, we used 1-5/8" coarse threaded screws.
Once the drywall is installed the next step is to dry fit the shower tray, cut it to size, and dry fit the shower drain. Keep in mind the shower tray can be cut to size within reason. We show how to cut the tray and shower curb in our video
