I’m setting a one piece tub/shower. It is one of the heftier ones. When I set it on the level sub floor the top of the shower wants to lean to the back of the opening about one half inch from the bottom. What is more important, that the front of the shower sides are plumb or that the unit sits flat on the supports on the bottom? I opt for flat on the bottom but I have never done this before. I thought these units were idiot proof. I looked in the archives and didn’t find anything that addressed this. They did talk about putting expanding foam under them. I got in this thing and there was no flex at all when it was sitting flat on the bottom. I weigh over 200 lfs. We won’t get into how much over 200.
Taking it back is not an option. I got it as a I grade from the manufacturer. They said it was a I grade because of cosmetic reasons. When I looked real close I can barely make out some texture differences in a spot. I checked it for pinholes with a flashlight and it holds water without leaking.
