Foam pans for tile shower installations have become a popular choice for those looking for an easier way to make a tile shower pan. Revolutionary Shower Systems, Schluter Kerdi, Wedi, KBRS, and others have made it possible to build a shower pan without the traditional way of using mortar. Foam pans are lightweight, pre-pitched, and waterproof so that beginners and DIY installers are able to use them without the time, skill, and effort it takes to build a mortar shower pan. Many professional tile installers are also starting to use them more to help prevent wear and tear on their bodies. the biggest mistake I see being made when using a foam pan is that they are installed on substrates that are not level and flat. This leads to water drainage issues and in some cases failures and water damage.
The best way to prepare a substrate for a foam shower pan is to use a self leveling underlayment (SLU) to make sure the foam pan installation goes well.
