The shower curb performs an important functional role in your shower by keeping the water in. It is also the number one failure point if waterproofing isn't done correctly. If you are tiling the base of your shower, the curb can be made from concrete, wood with cement board, or a prefabricated foam block. We used an XPS or Expanded Polystyrene Foam curb because it is not susceptible to water damage and is relatively quick to install. There are several brands such as Schluter Kerdi, Wedi, Vevor, Noble, and others.
After the installation, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for waterproofing and take extra care with all of the seams. We used RedGard for the entire shower project. Afterwards, use tile and grout to match the rest of the shower and install a shower door.

I'm using what looks like the same curb as you. However, I am pouring my own pan liner with a membrane. I was planning on wrapping my curb in a thinset pasted concrete board like I found another KZfaqr do. sticking the concrete board to the curb using thinset is to avoid putting any screw holes in the pan liner when it wraps over the curb. Do you see this as a good idea?

What kind of pan liner? Thinset won't stick to those thick PVC ones. The newer membranes have fibers on them and are designed to work with thinset. Either way, I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the cement board. I'm pretty sure cement board is supposed to always be installed with screws, but check your manufacturer's directions. Hope this helps.

@@practicalhomeprojects I'm using the Oatey PVC pan liner. The liner comes up and over the foam curb. It is attached using staples on the outside of the curb. How would you finish the curb in that situation?

Hello. I've never used the PVC liner before, but according to this article, it looks like you can use a metal lathe over the curb for support. www.johnbridge.com/how-to/shower-curb/
