Using left over pebble tiles on shower wall
Comments (3)Olychic, thanks for the link for photos. That was really helpful. And Pepperidge thanks for mentioning me about the difference in height. I hadn't thought of that. One of the photos showed a pebble border with subway tile. Above and below the border they showed a trim piece which took care of the height issue. So I'll probably look for something similar....See MoreTile Shower with a Corian Ceiling...doable or just tile?
Comments (11)Babka: We had a fan...not on a timer so who knows if the teenagers ran it every time they showered. We installed a larger unit recently when the heating/ventilation co. was here for the upstairs remodel; the fan is in the main bathroom area instead of the shower. Our concern is the low height of the shower ceiling...it is less than 7 feet. I prefer an open shower design the way an alcove bath is placed with a curtain because of the moisture issue; DH wants to recreate the basic design of the old fiberglass shower but make it longer and use a partial wall and glass to enclose the long side with a narrow opening so no shower door I fear that his design will simply recreate what we had...moisture tended to stay trapped in the shower area. Even with a more powerful fan, I am afraid if his design prevails...we will have moisture issues on the ceiling again. The tile setter suggested tiling the lower ceiling to eliminate the potential issue. Of course, the tile setter/shower installer loves my husband's idea...more tile work. I concur that the half-tiled wall and glass combo would look great (it should since it will be more expensive), but I am remodeling to fix a problem and enhance resale possibilities....See MoreTiling of ceiling over bathtub
Comments (11)We tiled the ceiling of our shower, but when we do our upstairs bathroom (that has a tub/shower), we will tile that ceiling too. We finished the edge with bullnose from the top and down the sides to meet the wall tile that was done at 40" in the rest of the bathroom. If we didn't have the half wall of tile in the rest of the bathroom, we would've just taken the bullnose down to the floor next to the tub. Hope that makes sense. This is in-progress, but you can see the ceiling is finished and how we ended it with bullnose all around the edge....See MoreHELP! Need ideas for tiling angled shower ceiling!
Comments (6)Well now you're freaking me out. I was already having some concerns about the shower pan install and flood test. Wonder what you or anyone thinks about the appearance here. To me the water was clearly well below the marked line (I took pic and then had to leave to drop kids off and when I got back he had arrived and already drained pan) but he insists there was no drop and my eyes are deceiving me. Unfortunately really hard to tell in picture, but I am 100% sure the water was at least a 1/2" below mark and honestly seemed more like an inch although I didn't measure bc was afraid to touch anything. First pic was this morning about 24 hrs after filling second pic was day before, sorry it's not great but I was really taking of the curb that I wanted fully covered but wonder about the actual pan as well...See Moregeoffrey_b
