The architect wants to have the basin be as low in height as possible (no reinforced mortar bed with the receptor essentially sloping to "0" at the drain). Any suggestions on how we can accomplish that referencing TCNA details? Or are we asking for future problems? I'm still planning on specifying the shower pan membrane, but what I'm concerned about is no reinforced mortar bed. And, of course, I'm writing the section now and it needs to be done by the end of the week. Tracy L.
