Air/bubble tub in tub/shower combo?
Comments (1)We went with an Americh Turo tub. It was the only one that was 18 inches high, instead of the 20-22 typical of tubs that have the whirlpool features. This tub can also be ordered with a whirlpool, but I didn't look into that since we wanted a plain tub. So far, it's working out well as a tub and shower combo. However, it does feel deep if it were filled to capacity - I may worry if I had small children (but, I don't have kids, so I'm not sure at what age I would feel comfortable)....See MoreBond Kerdi to Tub for Tub/Shower combo???
Comments (4)once you install the cement board (so that it sits above the tub flange), fill in that channel with thinset, and let it harden. once hard, go ahead and install your Kerdi, so that it's sitting no more than 1/8" off the tub. Then you can seal it with Kerdi-fix. That's the "book" explanation. If it were me, I'd use the same color siliconized latex caulking as my grout and seal it with that. Reason being that then you wouldn't have to worry about the color of the Kerdi-fix sticking out from under the tile....See More18" or 20" high tub for tub/shower combo?
Comments (7)I'm 5'7" and I just measured my lower leg to see if it was 18". It is just under 18". If I were to step over the 18" tub I'd have to get on my tippy toes. If you never take, but the occasional bath, I'd go with the Villager as Writersblock suggests. If you don't like the Villager style, the standard alcove replacement Bellwether has a nice modern look yet is only 14" high like the Villager. Easy to step over, and it can still provide a bath:)...See MoreTub/shower combo using 5' spa/whirlpool/soaker tub
Comments (3)You can get a 5' "soaker" tub with wider stance and deeper seat for about $200. For a 5' jacuzzi (check out the one fifth on the list), it'll run you about $800. Both take only a couple of inches either direction than a "standard size" tub....See Morekudzu9
