Anyone use a stone shower system from Costco/American Bath?

14 years ago

I am adding a bathroom in our basement and came across a shower system package that is a complete stone look shower unit. Costco has them and they are called 'Le Elegant Bath' shower. These are virtually identical to the 'Sistine Stone' shower unit kits made by American Bath Factory. Has any one had any experience with these? They look pretty nice, but I cannot find a lot of reviews or info about them from people who have bought them. I will not be doing it myself -- leaving it to our contractor. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

We remodeled Full Bath into a Half Bath

Great job, and very brave of you. I really want to downsize our 2nd bathroom to a half bath because it opens directly into the sitting room and there's absolutely no sense of privacy. Removing the tub would allow much greater separation of the bathroom from the living space. We mostly use the 2nd bathtub to wash cat boxes and bird feeders, and wouldn't a utility sink in the basement be much better for that purpose? Our financial analyst and others caution us against the change because they think it would lessen the value of the house. Does anyone here have thoughts on that topic?

Pebble stone shower floor

I installed a sea glass tile floor in our shower like the river stone pebbles. I was told the glass wouldn't get slippery like the natural stone might get because they retain the moisture. it is very pretty, but the glass pebbles are cracking for no apparent reason and continue to crack. I am guessing it is because the room temperature is cool and when the hot water hits the shower floor the glass expands and cracks. has anyone had this problem and what are the recommendations for replacing the glass tile. it seems it would be hard to do.

They have one on display in one of our local Lowes stores. It's not bad, but it's pretty obvious that whoever sets up the tiles in their factory must be very, very depressed, or working way too many hours. The effect is kind of....rustic.

Anyone NOT like onyx showers?
Q

We had our Onyx shower installed last year. It's was the best decision we made to our bathroom remodel. Removing the tub to shower conversion gave us more room for a larger shower. We had a certified Onyx installer that did a really good job. It's expensive to get it done right with less worry in the future. Low maintenance was a must have. Tile over time just didn't work for us anymore. Onyx product is good substitute.
