How to Properly Prepare a Shower Pan for Hot Mop: A Step-by-Step Guide
To prepare a shower pan for hot mop, first install a waterproof membrane over the subfloor. Next, install a pre-sloped mortar bed over the membrane to create a pitch towards the drain. Apply a layer of cement-based waterproofing to the entire surface of the mortar bed, including all corners and edges. Allow it to dry completely before proceeding to hot mop. Make sure the drain is properly installed and centered, and all corners and edges are properly prepared with waterproofing strips. Then, call a professional to hot mop the shower pan.
