More Mud Work

Mud is a dying art in the tile trade. When one can mud, their is no job too small or a job that can be turned away. This job had to be gauged due to the plank flooring and the floor was severely out of level and not flat. Mud helps create a flat and level floor and thats why it is used in these situations. It in my opinion is also a higher quality install and shows a true craftsman at work. Here are some pictures of a job with mud on the floor and curb in the shower and the finished products of the job.






In these photos, the floor is being mudded and packed and then screeded level in the 1st and 2nd photos. In the 3rd photo hydro barrier a Laticrete product is being applied to the walls and shower floors. It is added protection for the waterproofing of all the cementous areas in the shower. The final 2 photos show the shower with a fully functional seat and the bathroom floor with inserts.
