Rebuilding my grandma's shower that rotted out from mold and mildew.

I ripped out all the old tile, walls and floor. I have been replacing and adding joists for support, have redone the plumbing on the wall and replacing the cast iron drain line with pvc. I have put in a new 1" plywood subfloor and now I am contemplating on the shower build. My Grandma is 87 and I do not want to do tile as it is more maintenance for her to clean. I am looking at doing solid surface walls and shower pan, but struggling to find a shower pan since the measurements of the shower are a little weird. 52" depth and 33" width. pretty much shower pans with curbs have the opposite depth and width. I am planning on using Go board on the studs. Any suggestions/tips? https://imgur.com/a/MD3W9A0 submitted by /u/wolfgheist [link] [comments]
