Using an arcylic shower base versus a mud bed tiled floor
Comments (8)we decided to hot mop our floor and do a mud bed to keep the house period accurate but i ran across this great alternative. i'd consider this if we didn't go mud. We are using Hydroban on the wall, as Bill has suggested. it's called Kerdi and many people seem to rave about it. I imagine the resident tile experts Bill and Mongo have words of wisdom about how well it works. I seriously considered it but hubby wanted tar... it has not been fun. Hot mop people are in short supply here in LA. I'm really hating this job right now. All the jackhammering and demo involved in changing a pan is horrible. If there is an alternative that works as well, i think it's worth considering and this stuff below looks like it may be. They have a kits and sell a fabric you can cut custom. Browse the site and check out the fabric, i imagine it would be great to do a curbless shower or a bathroom european or japanese style with a drain in the center. Seems like this would make it possible, just create a full wet room. I'd love that with a soaking tub... I need a soaking tub after this nightmare...

Comments (9)Everything has to slope down to the shower drain. The traidtional way to do this is to have the shower pan shaped like a bowl. You can't bend a tile to be bowl shaped. Only small tiles can follow that contour of the bowl. The only way you can use larger tiles on a shower floor is if you have an X cut shower with the drain in the middle and each of the sections being flat with an angle at the cuts. Or you can do a trench drain, but that's considerably more money and time to get done correctly because it alters how you need the structural elements done at the construction phase. For a budget build, I wouldn't recommend either as very budget friendly. They need a tile expert, and will cost you a lot more than going with a standard mosaic. And, you'd have to have a textured tile for the floor if you did choose to do this. Otherwise you've created a slip hazard. That's another reason that mosaics work better in a shower. The smaller tiles have a lot of grout surface for traction. You can use a polished mosaic for a shower, but if you did larger tiles, they'd have to be honed, and even then, it might still be too slippery....See MoreContemporary bathroom -- what tile to use in shower & floor?
Comments (7)You haven't been very specific about your own tastes in color or how much or little "action" you want to see in the tile. That's probably why people haven't chimed in by now as there could be thousands and thousands of choices that would meet these vague criteria. One of your challenges with tile might be that you are looking at samples, when it might be more helpful to look at pictures of completed bathrooms as it's sometimes hard to visualize from just tile samples. Here is a link to about 800,000 bathroom photos here on Houzz: [Bathrooms[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/bath-ideas-phbr0-bp~t_711) When you go to the link, you can start filtering this mass of photos according to the choices on the left side....See MoreHelp!

Comments (7)so the large beige-ish tile is going on the floor and that patterned tile is on the shower wall? can you post a pic of the room? does that large tile come in a 2x2 or 3x3 size? it should. use that. u said it looks busy, but I don't see how. it's a solid look tile. same premise they've done here. used a smaller tile in the same make as the floor introducing any other type of mosaic will look busier. if your large floor tile is a matte finish, it could be cut and used on the shower floor. maybe have it cut in thinner, rectangular strips. they've done it here in the shower...See More- 10 years ago
