Squre Shower drain?
Comments (2)I used the Ebbe square drain adapter in my shower installation and was very happy with it. It threaded right into my "standard" two piece shower drain (I think it was from Oatey). The threaded piece is plastic but the actual grate is pot metal. I got it from Tile Depot, they are out in CA and it cost about $30.00 or $40.00 delivered. Google them for the address. I think I have a picture of the floor on my photobucket page >>> just search for my user name on the photobucket site. JT...See MoreProblem with New Shower Drains - x-post with plumbing
Comments (10)I have to preface my response by saying I've never used this drain. But after reading the installation instructions, it appears that the finish grate is a "friction-fit" installation. No silicon required...or desired. The floor gets grouted with a removable drain plug set in place of the finish grate. The plug is essentially a "place-keeper" for the grate. After the grout thoroughly cures, the plug gets removed. There is a warning to let the grout thoroughly cure, as the fit is tight, and removing the plug prior to grout cure could result in the grout breaking away around the plug. That would give you a ratty finished look and an improper fitting drain grate. With the grout cured and the plug removed, the finish grate gets set in place. A friction fit only. It appears that it's a tight friction fit. They have a little "E107 Grate Extractor Kit" that you can use later should you need to remove the grate but the grate is stuck in place. There are references to "friction fit" but none to siliconing the grate in place. For clarification, why not place a call to the company? They have their phone number on the website you linked to. If you have the ability, take a few clear close-up photos of the drain. Have them on your computer, and you can email them to the tech you speak with while you're speaking with him. I could be mistaken with my above analysis, and I'll extend to you my apologies if I've lead you astray. But those are my thoughts based upon how I read the info on their website....See MoreNew Shower Drain Installation Problem
Comments (5)I'm not familiar with that drain, but a quick look at their site makes me wonder about an improper install. It sounds like the drain was just set onto the fresh mortar without consideration to the directions (or maybe something wasn't lining up after it was installed), and then it wouldn't stay put afterward so they siliconed it in place. Call the mfr to get more info. I would consider a repair by chipping out the adjacent tiles, removing the drain top, etc. and reinstalling a new one. (Don't mess with the drain flange underneath!) If it's similar to a Schluter drain, it's a bit of a pain but it can be done. Again, call the mfr to get more details. Good luck.

Comments (28)Wonderful transformation! Looks fun and relaxed, with sophistication sprinkled in. I love your wall art. I like the contrast. Such efficient use of cabinet space too! You did a fabulous job! And I love Copen Blue :) I painted several rooms that color. You must have a lot of light because your's looks a tad lighter than mine. When DS2 came to visit he called it Robin's Egg. I found a robin's egg shell several months ago and Copen Blue is lighter than the egg shell but was a great coordinating color. The vanity area: paint or tile what 2 walls? I thought you meant the wall with the mirror (one wall). I like the white for makeup too. But if you tiled it what tile were you thinking? The white? I don't think Id put the dark tile in that alcove. I wouldn't paint the cabinets either. Oh I went back and looked at the pic again. I see one side wall is a wall and not a cabinet. Ummm, could you hang more art instead of painting the walls? Of course paint is easy to change if you decide against the blue in there. I have an ironing board like that too and love the convenience....See Moremotherof3inct
