Frequently Asked Questions
Can HYDRO-BLOK be used for Steam Showers?
HYDRO-BLOK can be used for steam shower applications. We recommend a single coat of liquid membrane over top of the finished product to meet TCNA Guidelines (TCNA) guidelines SR613 (masonry or concrete construction, commercial applications) and SR614 (wood or steel joist construction, residential installs).
Can I make a curb with HYDRO-BLOK?
There are several ways you can incorporate a curb into your HYDRO-BLOK shower system design. The most common way is to purchase our pre-formed curbs available in 4 standard sizes. You can also use our Large Building Panels to make custom sizes. Please contact your local representative or create a Support Request for more details on custom curbs. We do not recommend using HYDRO-BLOK wallboard to cover wood curbs as they tend to warp and compromise waterproofing.
