Very nice job and the panels flow so well. To avoid the nasty taste and likely toxic nature of the caulk I often have a small cup of warm water nearby to dip my finger in.

Went from "The Shining" bathtub to a timeless shower recess, good work, looks great!

Its a great looking product combined with that Delta door. I think this is the direction I'm headed for my bathroom remodel.

You guys did an amazing job! Really looks great! I get budget, but a full bathroom renovation would of looked outstanding! Not sure if it was the lighting, but that looks like belongs in a full reno.

Excellent video, I really enjoyed it. The only thing I would ask if you do another demo of an old plastic shower insert would be to slow it down and show some of the steps in detail that you did. I am looking at purchasing a home that has those types of showers in them and I would want to take them out myself. But again, great video, keep them coming!

Very helpful video. We've ordered a Castico shower kit & are trying to figure out all the installation details so this really helped. Castico seems to be a very good company & we're looking forward to getting our shower kit completed. Thanks for the video!

Fantastic installation! I'm researching this because I'm getting ready to remodel my master bathroom. Old showe has leaked and destroyed my subfloor. House is only 15 years old. I would love to use something like this. My only other option is tile. Those are the 2 options i feel comfortable with.

I think setting the base. thinset was the right choice. Love the diamond blade trick!

[mikegriffin]

Great video. I changed my original plan and went with a castico kit after watching this. Turned out great!

Very nice Aaron!
A 1pc floor with no tile lippage to trip over, nor thin like it was before.
Large flat surfaces, and a drain that are easily cleaned.

Am assuming you could cut in a niche easily, but a corner shelf would need a leg.
My uncle was in his early 70's when he laid tile in my parents curbless shower.
The small tiles all have serious lippage everywhere, including the floor which can be painful.
This looks like a well thought out system!

Just ordered the kit. Loved the way you installed it.

Also just a tip on your holesaw cuts if you go in reverse when cutting holes it won't grab and break your wrist or twist it. Great video though Jay from Tennessee 😎

How in the world will that flange be waterproof?

[joeny]

This video was super helpful. I'm excited to install this now. Question, on the Goboard are the joints taped? Is it just regular tape and joint compound?

[dieselpig]

Ive been remodeling bathrooms since dinosaurs roamed the earth. Ive seen alot of new products come and go. Most end up being a disaster. The rule is….if it relies on some kind of caulk to achieve a waterproof state, its junk and it wont last. This falls into that category. The shower pan lip gets screwed on then caulked into place?!?! Recipe for failure. The two back wall panels were installed with flat butt joints. No caulk went in before installing. So, you add a topping of caulk along this joint to resist water? If you install these, you better be ready to replace the caulk in all these joints every year or two.

I have an idea of how its done now, I'm about to get my showers redone and was curious about the process.

[TC-twzk]

I have a 2x3 window on the back wall....which panels would have to be cut to fit around the window... What's your thouhts?

Great Video.. you're a detail type of guy.. i can tell

[reggiehouston]

What area are you based in, good job!

[rciancia]

Excellent Job !!!! At first I thought it was Seth McFarland ( voices from The Family Guy) doing the install :) LOL Seriously, excellent product... well done

[jtr]

That is really nice, I hope they decide to do a full revo though and make the rest of the bathroom look as good as the shower...
