Sand mix pans can be customized to the exact size and shape required
If a prefabbed or pre-sloped pan is not an option than the sand mix pan should work. This method requires more time and skill than the Schluter pre-sloped shower pans, but they allow you the ability to make exactly the size and shape you need. The following videos will explain the process. After the pan is created and sloped, the drain is installed, and the waterproofing is performed on top of the entire pan. Shower floor tiles are placed on top, so the entire system is waterproofed from the top.
Additional tips on mixing:

Drain Installation wen plumbing is not accessible (slab)

Kerdi Band:
It is important to remember that a minimum of a 2″ overlap is required to insure proper waterproofing. Kerdi Band is 5″ in width and is a perfect solution for seaming joints. Inside and outside corners are included with the drain.
