3. Note Tiling Tip: Before setting tile on the
shower pan floor, you must comply with
the following: tile up to the edges of the
recessed trench (A and B) so that the
shower pan floor is not visible, while at the
same time insuring (i) none of the shower
pan floor tiles extend beyond the shower
pan floor into the space above the
recessed trench, (ii) proper drainage is
achieved by having none of the tiles
encroach into the drainage space between
the tiled shower pan floor and the
Designer Drain Grate, and (iii) the floor tile
will not prevent the removal of the
Designer Drain Grate from the Trench
Recess.

4. Now, remove the Designer Drain Grate
from the Trench Recess and tile the
shower pan floor.

and grab it with both hands and then
carefully remove the other side by lifting
the entire grate with your hands.
