Slope Shower Floor

How do I slope my new shower floor?

Thank you for submitting a Bathroom Shower
How To question...

The slope of the shower floor is done by applying a layer of mortar to the floor of the shower area. The layer of mortar should be troweled to create a gentle slope from the shower wall edges to the center of the shower where the drain resides. If you are installing tile, the floor should slope 1/4" per foot.

This sloping of the shower floor is done prior to installing the flexible shower pan membrane liner.... to get ready for the tiling of the floor.
