With hindsight I'd have probably aimed from the beginning for a 2% fall. Tbh I sort of did I thought. Calc'd a 13 - 26mm fall and reckoned I'd end up at 18mm from memory because of accumulative issues. There were constraints with bending the mesh down and worries over concrete coverage over the pipes. The use of the angle iron formers proved a great idea if I say so myself! Should be able to make out the fall lines: You can see the (decent?) fall here: It's got to be the tiling bed thickness where I went "wrong". Tbh the concrete was all dead flat due to screed rails being used so ideal or tiling straight onto. I should have used maybe a 6mm bed under the falls area and 10mm on the main floor!

February 9, 20197 yr Author Oh FFS..... twerp. This is the correct link..... to Impey screed floor former
February 9, 20197 yr OMGG. Your first link was better you need to put up some pics to show us what you have preferably with a straight edge in the pic

The plastic former stays in situ after you've screeded. If I hadn't gone with my angle iron idea I'd have made something similar.
February 9, 20197 yr Not sure it helps but you can get pretty big shower trays like 2000*900 just 40mm high. Less 25mm would give you a 15mm step. Would that be ok for a wheel chair? https://www.nwtdirect.co.uk/shower-trays/1580-extra-large-rectangular-shower-trays-1800mm-and-2000mm-wide-includes-90mm-waste.html#/159-legs_panels_shower_tray_-no/497-shower_tray_size-2000mm_x_900mm

I laid 9mm marine ply, glued and screwed to the floor around it. then tiled the floor with 12mm thick travertine, and the result is that the shower tray is about level with a bath mat laid by the opening. There would be no problem at all in getting a wheelchair into it.

When we built our place I bookmarked a bunch of large shallow shower tray suppliers not all of which still exist, but in the end went for a taller travertine tray.

Well anyway thats what the man from Topps tiles said. Yes, yes, I know. And if you look at some of my earlier threads (2 - 3 years ago) you'll understand why. Moving swiftly on, I need to dig out. By how much? (PS, I've got the drain hole in the right place - and for me thats a success) Weren't you planning to camouflage the door to this, @recoveringacademic? Another Example, by making the wall stripey. Male it full height and it would be completely hidden. Edited February 11, 20197 yr by Ferdinand
