How long do shower pan installations typically take?

Traditional shower pans take 2–3 days with mortar curing and tiling. Muraflo pans install in under an hour with a tiled, waterproof design.

Pre-tiled shower pan vs mortar bed tiled pan — which is better?

Traditional tiled pan installations take time, make mess, and involve multiple skilled labor. Muraflo = less time, less mess, & less people — while combining real tile aesthetics with the strength & reliability of a one-piece waterproof pan.

How do you waterproof a shower pan?

Most pans require a separate waterproof membrane or coating. Muraflo requires none—it's factory waterproofed and pre-sloped to the drain for worry-free installation.

Are acrylic shower pans good quality?

Acrylic pans are affordable but can flex, crack, or discolor over time. Muraflo uses advanced composites, making our shower pans stronger, lighter, & longer-lasting than plastic alternatives.

Can I install a shower pan myself (DIY)?

If you are an experienced DIY homeowner, you can install a Muraflo shower pan. No tiling and grouting skills are required. Watch our installation films and read our full instructions.

What size shower base do I need?

Measure your shower alcove length and width. Muraflo pans come in multiple standard sizes across five design collections, making it easy to match many U.S. bathroom layouts. If you need a custom size, just contact us.

How much does shower pan installation cost?

Contractor-conventional tile pans can cost $1,500–$5,000. Muraflo can save homeowners and contractors $100s-1000s by eliminating labor-intensive waterproofing, tiling and grouting.

How do I avoid a leaking shower base?

Fixing leaks usually means re-tiling or replacing the pan entirely. Choose Muraflo to eliminate this risk—every unit is factory waterproof-tested, with zero leaks reported in our shower pans.

What's the difference between a shower pan and a shower base?

Base refers to the structural foundation for functional support. This is installed first. Pan refers to what you see – tile, mosaics, acrylic, fiberglass – and is installed on top of the base. Muraflo is both—a complete tiled shower pan that functions as both a pan and a base.
