curbs for showers

That looks really easy to work with...

Yes my shower tray was supplied with a raised lip on three of the edges.

When you tile its possible to place tiles over the lip of the tray so that the tile covers the raised bit.

there are alot of tilers in the UK ,that would not be able to do the sand/cement work side of things that you guys in America do rob , they are just tile stickers!!

Rob the shower doors etc you have in the USA when someone brings them over here they will be rich

Dave, it is much thicker than Kerdi. I think Kerdi is 8 mils and Noble is 30 mils. It is actually easier to install because of the glue is so sticky and also because it will handle like a big sheet than can be folded in advance and placed in the shower all at once. For that shower we only cut one piece and folded it in the corners, and then installed it all in one shot (no seams in the corners).

Kerdi, here, is 2 mm Rob. The Noble in yr pic isnt 30mm (1and a quarter inches) but is thicker, sure.
I think the more 'designer led' US shower refits will soon be following European styles (no doubt in big cities primarily) looking to have the level floor or at least minimal step up into showers pretty soon. In the UK the tiled floor type shower hasnt been very widespread really - only some higher value jobs, but in recent years the frequency is increasing with the advent of Wedi and other showerbases to simplify the process -but still leading to disasters when not done correctly needless to say!

Kerdi in the uk is around 0.5mm thick..Ditra is 2mm..

And Robs thickness are USA versions of an inch..not mm's.. as in 16th's etc..

Dave got it...Kerdi is 8 mils (eight thousandths of an inch), or 0.008", and Noble is 30 mils (thirty thousandths of an inch), or 0.030". The Noble sheet is just under one-half of a sixteenth of an inch, or close to 1/32" thick. The Kerdi is about 1/4 the thickness of the Noble.

Yup sure guys, only pointed it out since rob used the term 'mils'. Yes Kerdi as you said Dave, thinking of ditra as I wrote it.

Do the mechanics and engineers in England still use mils for machinery specs? Or has that gone to a metric based system too? Maybe instead of mils you use microns for the stuff that is thinner/smaller than millimeters?

Microns rob..we are civilised..:lol:
