Best thing to do would be to go to Noble's website and read the pdf files on installation. Like most membranes, care needs to be taken when folding the membrane in the corners, at the membrane/drain intersection, how high the membrane goes up the walls, how the membrane drapes over the curb, and where to drive fasteners to attach the membrane to the framing and where to not use fasteners to attach the membrane to the framing. I'd wrote the book for you...but Nobel already has! And they have drawings/pictures! Best of luck with the project, Mongo

First, let me say thank you, thank you Bill and especially to Mongo. I agree with Anita. You guys must get so darn sick of these same old questions. And I'm sure you just cringe when you think of all the screw-ups that go on out there. Now for an update. Hope this one won't cause any cringes, but who knows. I got a "tile guy" over here today and he said he was gonna Kerdi/Schluter the darn thing. He sounded pretty up on it...but don't they all! He was a little concerned about the cultured marble one piece shower bottom I've already ordered (on my GC's advice, ugh) cause I told him I saw it and it had no curb on it. It was just one flat piece. I do recall my GC saying "they" would build a curb for it after they installed it. That frightens me a bit. Anyhoo, maybe too much info here for ya. But, at this point, if you don't feel like telling me to just put a sock in it and leave you the heck alone, could you comment on this? I know in another thread Bill told me to "get Kerdied." But, but, I really do hate to ask...can you Kerdi over this DAP stuff? And now for the punch line to all this that I know you'll just love...or maybe not. My husband was a Controller for Georgia-Pacific for almost 30 years. He has never even heard of Densarmor Plus! But, after all, he was just a bean counter for gosh sakes. Give him a break. HA!!!!! Thank you, pupwhipped

Thanks Mongo, I spent a long time today at the tile store looking at all the grouts and decided only this so far: set the wall tiles tight with unsanded grout. But I am having a terrible time with picking the type/color for the floor in the shower and the bathroom. I looked at Mapei, Custom and Laticrete (sp?) grays and none look right. Many almost looked purple or blue not silver at all or else they look way to dark against the rest of the floor. The tile store had bunches of people helping me, all women, luckily they were not busy and the general consensus was to pick Customs Snow White for both the silver glass shower floor and the bath floor and the avalance on the walls. Next to the Avalanche the Snow White did look "a little" gray but isn't that still too white for a shower floor that I paid almost $600 for silver glass so I wouldn't have a white floor in the shower!? Ack! Said to do the walls in Mapei "Avalanche" and the lines would disappear because the color was almost dead on and the lines will be tiny. I left there and went to another store and they only carried Customs and the 2 men/owners there said right away-wall tile-bright white, bath floor-snow white and shower floor Platinum. Told me to set the wall AND the floor tile tight-unsanded on the floor and wall both. It took them about 30 seconds but neither store would let me bring home the little sticks so I still don't know what to do. None of them recommended any epoxy (not Spectralock or Opticolor) once they heard my tile guy hadn't done it. Said I did NOT want to be his test case for a glass shower floor. The second store said Customs "polyblend" grout already has mold and mildew inhibitors but will have to be sealed yearly unlike the spectralock. Geez, this is 2008, can't they just put the sealer in the grout already-lol. Please give me your advice! Thanks so much. (I swear this whole bathroom is giving me an ulcer! In CA, so had the hotmop done and while it didn't leak, now it won't drain because of a big puddle lower than the drain's weep holes-ack. Just had the drywall guy finish up and the painter came and did primer and all the tile is here and ready to go but now this-grrrr. Hopefully the hot mop guy will just come out and do more on that lower part but still, another hold up.)

Thanks for posting, Bill. The puddle is right above the area that has no grout/caulk in it. Off to the side. It is like the drain is on a slight slope upward so the water above that area of the drain tends to sit there or roll back , not towards the drain. Not a HUGE hassle, I just scrape the water into the drain but am just concerned over what to do with the area that is missing something - whether it be grout or caulk. Just worried what the water is currently doing if it goes down that hole that is gaped. Am I making sense? I want to fix the gap and then know if what I am left with is a big deal or not....Thx Melissa
