STEP 3: HOW TO MEASURE A KBRS SHOWERSLOPE™

Measure like a pro! One of the most critical parts of ordering a shower base is to make sure you properly measure your shower area. Please see below for instructions on how to measure for a KBRS ShowerSlope™. Make sure you have something to write with and record your measurements to ensure you order the correct size shower pan. Keep in mind standard ShowerSlope™ options come with a 3" perimeter cut-zone that can be adjusted and cut on site up to 3" off any side of the slope to accommodate for offset drain placements and/or out of square walls.

MEASURE SHOWER LENGTH & WIDTH

A = Future ShowerSlope™ Basin Area
B = Future HardCurb® Area

1.) Measure the width from stud wall to stud wall record the measurement.

2.) Measure the depth from the front of the finished curb to the back stud wall - subtract 4” for HardCurb® (optional - a shower curb will add 4" to a completed shower area if needed) record the measurement.

MEASURE SHOWER DRAIN LOCATION

A = Future ShowerSlope™ Basin Area
B = Future HardCurb® Area

3.) Measure the drain center from 1 stud wall to the center of the drain record the measurement.

4.) Measure the drain center from a right or left perpendicular stud wall (depending on your order) record the measurement.

NOTE: KBRS will not subtract inches from your measurements. We will NOT make your slope any bigger or smaller than the size you ask for. Slopes are manufactured within 1/8" (+/-) tolerance.  


IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The minimum drain location from any stud wall to the center of the drain is 10”. Exceptions can be made on a case by case basis after talking with your customer service representative.

Slopes can be ordered oversized and trimmed to fit (3" on standard size, and 2" on a custom size), you can adjust your measurements on a custom order form to compensate, or order an oversized standard ShowerSlope™ to adjust on site.
