All that said I'm thinking around the base to just not seal it, there is an over lap where the wall meets the base which should prevent water going behind the wall.
I'll still seal the area where the door rail meets the Walland across the door Chanel.
Any thoughts? Crazy? Won't work?
Thor does not seal the overlap between shower base skirt and the wall panels. The theory is that sealing skirt to the wall would allow condensation to be trapped between the inner and outer walls and to deteriorate the walls. By not sealing the walls would allow movement and some ventilation to keep the outer-walls dry. Over 4 years with my present coach from plant 750 and no leaks or fungus.
