Shower tray longer than 140 cm: Save the door because of that?

Because there is always a cost involved when you have to cut out within a room (screed layer) and then plaster over it (tiler). They charge well for that. Why? Ask the craftsmen… Every stroke costs extra.

So for us, laying the screed like that didn’t cost extra. It’s not a huge additional effort anyway. As already mentioned, nothing was plastered over there. What would you plaster over, the floor is already how you want it. So the costs that remain are the rail plus the tiles plus a proper sealing plus a drainage rail against the costs of the shower tray. I can imagine that this is quite cost-neutral. And even if you take a very cheap shower tray, and even if the screed layer takes something extra and you take expensive tiles, the differences will be in the range of a few hundred euros (the tiles plus sealing plus rail cost us about 250 euros). You also need a wall, whether glass or tiled, with the shower tray. And that will be absolutely the same in both cases, because you build it on the level floor.

As I already said, nothing was skimmed there. What do you want to skim anyway, the floor is already how you want it.

By that I mean the slope of the flat shower. It needs a gradient. That is skimmed or whatever it's called. But now I'll just let the OP draw their own conclusion from this thread :)

That’s what I mean by the slope of the level shower. It needs a gradient. That is troweled or whatever it's called.

As I said before, the screed layer does the slope right away. At least that was the case for us.

An area of about 1x1m was cut out for me and the tiler is supposed to create a sloped screed. I don't think it would work with just filling, as that would initially add more thickness. So it somehow has to be taken into account when laying the screed.

Thanks everyone for your comments. As an argument for a tiled shower, I also considered that you can save the shower tray carrier with a steel enamel shower. It takes up quite a lot of space downwards (styrofoam block, sometimes 30cm height!), costs 50-140€, and would interfere with the underfloor heating / sound insulation layer. Or do you leave both out at that spot?

Because it is always a cost expense when you have to cut out within a room (screed layer) and then plaster over it (tiler). They charge well for that. Why? Ask the craftsmen... Every stroke costs extra.

However, that is not the case for me. Nothing cost extra there...
