Onyx tile shower: where to use caulk vs. grout?
Comments (3)We plan on very tiny joints. Are spacers used for very thin grout lines? Yes. Usually they're small tapered spacers called "marble wedges", as seen in the pic below. but Bill Vincent recommended siliconized latex caulk in another thread. Are there particular brands that perform well? Whatever the brand grout you used, that's the brand of caulking you get, as well, and from the same place, and in the same color as the grout. Just about all grout manufacturers now make their caulkings with antimicrobial agents in them to put a stop to mold and mildew. Do we fill the tub with water before caulking? If it's cast enamel, it's not necessary. If it's plastic or fiberglass, you'd do alot better to make sure the installer supports the "belly" of the tub with mortar or foam. It'll go alot further than filling the tub. The reason for filling the tub is so that excessive movement won't stretch the caulking past its limits. Even a better idea is to limit said movement (which is what you do by supporting the bottom of the tub). Also, I remember a thread mentioning using caulk instead of grout in the "corners," but I am not sure if that means just the bottom corners, or the whole vertical seams where the back and side walls of tile meet. Any place where one wall meets another, or a wall meets a floor (or in this case the tub), it should be caulked....See MoreHas anyone used a shower curtain on a neoangled shower?
Comments (0)We are getting ready to retile our neoangle shower in our master bath. After dealings nag with the nightmares of cleaning glass doors (and the ones that are supposed to not spot), we are wanting to go with a shower curtain. We have a country style bathroom that also has a claw foot tub, so we are wanting something that will fit that look. If anyone is using a shower curtain along with a neoangle shower rod, I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks in advance!...See MoreOnyx Shower Base too small for framing
Comments (1)I ordered my onyx shower base for a 60" bathroom but once I pulled out out the old fiberglass tub and measured the gap, it is actually 60.5". When I installed the base, I left it tight on the side with the plumbing, but now I have a 0.5" gap on the opposite side. I am wondering how to make that transition without the onyx wall panel looking out of place. Plan on furring out the drywall that goes where the panel is, which will leave a .5" transition along the one edge and top of shower. The panel is 84" and the wall its 96"....See MoreNeed help - Tiramisu onyx countertop and shower
Comments (5)I'm sorry for the confusion. I will be purchasing from "The Onyx Collection". It is manufactured right here in Kansas so pretty much everyone here is used to just calling it "onyx" and we all know what they mean. Again, sorry I was not more specific....See Moreunser
