A shower pan and method of manufacture are described. Embodiments of the shower pan can include, but are not limited to, a solid surface top layer and a PET second layer that can be thermoformed, molded, and laminated in a single step. The solid surface top layer can be approximately ⅛″ to ¼″ thick and the PET second layer can be approximately ⅞″ to 1⅛″ thick. The shower pan may further include a third layer being fiberglass.

A shower base installation system including a shower base and shower base installation tool. The shower base includes one or more recesses on the bottom surface. The installation tool includes a handle, a strap, and a hook. The tool is used to lift and maneuver a shower base into position by engaging the hook into one of the recesses in the shower base.

A prefabricated assembly for covering walls and floor in a building, and in particular, for bathrooms, and other units in a building that requires waterproofing and an aesthetic finish. The prefabricated assembly can include finished panels for use in shower surrounds and shower tray. The prefabricated wall panels can have tiles and natural stones as the finishing layer that provides an aesthetic appearance. The prefabricated panels are manufactured in an industrial setting and transported on-site. The prefabricated panels include interlocking fasteners that make assembly quick and easy.

Described herein are examples of devices which include a folding shower stall including a shower pan, a shower wall and optionally a shower curtain enclosure. The shower pan includes a drain wall and drain slots configured to drain wastewater from the folding shower stall. A shower pan support disposed on a shower pan outer surface and configured to angle the shower pan directing wastewater backwards towards the drain. The shower wall including apertures configured to receive plumbing infrastructure to receive shower components including a shower head a mixer. The shower pan and the shower wall are pivotally connected via a hinge configured to allow the shower pan to rotate upward toward the shower wall to close and downward to be in an open position.

A plastic component for use in a tiled wet environment can include a base structure comprising a first polymer material, and an integrated bonding interface formed on the base structure. The integrated bonding interface includes a second polymer material welded to or fused with the first polymer material of the base structure at a boundary area. A plurality of aggregate particles partially embedded in a mortar facing surface of the second polymer material to form a three-dimensional surface adapted for capturing or locking mortar material in one or more spaces on the integrated bonding interface between the aggregate particles.

A flooring installation includes at least two floor supports separated from one another by a span distance, the floor supports each having lateral, vertical side walls between which an opening is defined. A bay is defined between the floor supports. A primary subfloor is supported atop and attached to one of the at least two floor supports, the primary subfloor including an overhanging portion overhanging a portion of the bay. A spanning brace is disposed between the at least two floor supports in the bay, the spanning brace engaging on opposing ends the lateral, vertical side walls of the floor supports, one end of the spanning brace extending beneath and spaced from the overhanging portion of the primary subfloor. A recessed subfloor panel is supported atop the spanning brace, the recessed subfloor panel being supported at a lower elevation than the overhanging portion of the adjacent, primary subfloor.

Providing an easy to install shower tray and drain assembly. The tray comprises a stepped upper surface and a receptor having at least one step for receiving the drain assembly. In certain embodiments, the drain assembly comprises a cup for securing the drain assembly to the receptor and to a drainage pipe, a clamping flange for securing a waterproof floor covering between itself and the cup, at least one seal for providing a watertight seal between the clamping flange and cup. The drain assembly may further comprise a grate, a grate retainer, and an adjuster for adjustably securing the grate retainer to the clamping flange.
