Thank you for showing all the prep and how to cut the holes etc, other channels weren't showing that part of the process or the install. And I was also currious about how to deal with shower doors or glass installed on the foam board. Thank you

How off from the floor do you go with the board. I saw in your video that there was a gap between the tile on the floor and the board. And do you fill that up with anything? Can grout be used?

So, what if I wanted to use an adhesive mural an the foam board and use a clear epoxy overlay on top of it. Is that something that you guys think can work???

As long as the mural is completely adhered to the foam with no bubbles before you pour the epoxy.

What do you do on the seams for water proofing?

@RK3Designs 3 ай бұрын

The foam boards are already water proof, you prep the wall with green board or use Red Guard. We use 100% silicone for the seams.

@RK3Designs so once you secure the panels that's it?! That's awesome!

Could you paint the foam first to try to make more opaque for those that want a white base design. To offset the ghosting of tape and the purple of the foam board??

@bradmiddleton5753 5 ай бұрын

Just don’t use spray paint. It will attack the foam like acid

Absolutely and we actually do this on occasion also. Just make sure the paint is 100% dry before pouring the epoxy or it will blister due to trapped moisture. 😊😊

Whats a rough estimate in cost for this job?

@RK3Designs 3 ай бұрын

Not counting framing and prepping the walls, about $12-$15 a sq ft. Also depends on what technique/ design you use as different designs require different amounts of epoxy.

Looks like a nice job. However, looks VERY labor intensive? If it's your own house , not paying for your labor , maybe. But has to be costly for the homeowner?

@RK3Designs 5 ай бұрын

Once you’ve mastered the process it’s really not labor intensive. We’ve installed many many custom showers. It must faster, more cost efficient than tile.

Why not make a template????? I had to turn off video at this point

@RK3Designs 3 ай бұрын

If you would have watched the rest of the video he explained why we don’t use a template. But you can definitely take the extra time to do so. You’ll still want to dry fit your piece before you pour.
