Base prior to installation. Note pre-slope toward back edge. Tile-EZ One-Slope
design permits use of either large or small tile for a continuous, seamless look ideal
for ADA and barrier free applications.

The base was installed directly on top of the floor joists and adjacent to the studs.
The floor was raised with cement board so that the front edge was flush with the
shower base.

Depending on the size tile or stone, you can use an edge treatment available at any
specialty tile shop or home center to trim the tile at the trough area, the ½” opening
between the removable cover and the base.  Shown in this application is a plastic
edge treatment purchased to eliminate the open grout lines for a clean edge finish
and to complement the white mosaic tile.  The corners of the edge material were
mitered to form a frame around the perimeter of the Tile-EZ drain cover.

When deciding to use an edge treatment, insure the height of the edge treatment is
not greater than the tile being used in the application which would inadvertently
minimize the flow of water to the trough opening.  Consider only trimming the drain
cover that is most visible if the height of the trim may exceed the tile.

of flange on the shower walls after installation of the tile to the shower pan for
complete water tightness.
