New construction bathroom layout help needed, please
Comments (5)Thanks, that's just what we were thinking. We tried putting the (double) vanity on the outside wall to add a window (between the mirrors and have a lower lever makeup table) back to the room which moved the shower to the inside wall. I would love a walk in shower(for wheelchair access) with a tiled floor/drain and no shower pan, we found some river rock tile to use for the floor. I put the shower in to walk around the wall to get in for privacy--just saw a commercial for a rain shower head to eliminate water splash. Will try to attach the revised drawing (or find one of my kids to do it for me!) Any thoughts?...See MorePlease help! need inspiration for new mirror frames
Comments (3)Sorry, I looked in my bathroom album and don't have photos that could help. I don't think you'll need the mirrors to be as wide as the sink bases. I found a couple of matching mirrors at WalMart, of all places, for only $25.00 for our masterbath. I don't have picture of them up, but here's a picture of how they looked when I bought them and after I spray painted them with silver spray paint. The "after" is on the left. Have you looked for ready made framed mirrors? As for placement you'll want them at a height that works for both you and your hubby. Ours are 28 inches wide by 34 inches high. The sit just a little over an inch above the backsplash. Our vanity is 84 inches long with four banks of drawers. Two on either end and two sets in the middle. I hope this helps....See MoreHelp needed with new construction windows (simonton)
Comments (2)Simonton would consider the ProFinish Brickmold 600 as their best window that is marketed for new construction. It is nicer looking than the ProFinish Contractor but there is no advantage in terms of performance. The ProFinish Master is the same window as the Contractor but all of the catalog sizes are DP50 for coastal applications. Although not marketed by Simonton as a new construction window the Reflections 5500 is available with an integral nail fin for new construction and would be better than any of the ProFinish windows. The AI numbers on the 5500 are better than the ProFinish line but it's not at the performance level of the likes of Okna. Simonton produces a good window and wouldn't be a bad choice....See MoreNew construction window draft help needed.
Comments (2)Post up a picture. Its likely a design error in the mechanism of how the operable sections interface with the frame. We call those drafts "chimney" drafts when they go up the balance/jamb slots. Lets see a picture of the window and with it tilted in. You can likely install some foam blockers in the channels to help with the drafts....See Moremmarse1
