Where do I put the shower head(s) and bench seat?
Comments (4)i can't see yur plans... our bench seat is on the back wall and one (fixed) showerhead is on the left wall and one (handheld on bar) is on right side of our back wall ~10 inches out from corner. this is perfect for us. i usually use the fixed showerhead....See Moreadd niche and corner bench to new shower?
Comments (8)I am having both a niche and bench in my new remodel. I am also having corner shelves (marble) at the end with the shower heads - bench is at opposite end and niche would hold grooming products other than shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap. Whether it's worth it really depends on how you actually shower - what the niche would hold - i.e. is it a decorative element or purely functional. Would you ever want to actually use the bench - is a corner bench functional - my bench runs along one short end of the shower and since I plan to age in place, I wanted. a bench just in case as even when I was younger, I needed a bench when I had surgery. If you can't imagine using the bench or would use it just to elevate legs for shaving, they actually have shelves you can install to rest your feet which would be less expensive than a bench. It's difficult to advise people on whether something is "worth it" since that's a subjective decision depending on budget and needs and needs versus wants....See Morereroute shower valve or move shower head each shower/niche/which door?
Comments (14)Thanks much and beautiful showers! I am confused about the thermostatic valve. Is this something that I can buy separate and have it installed in the wall so that anytime I change out the shower handle/trim/valve it will automatically be there and still be accessible if it breaks and I need to change it? I hate to have more moving parts and things to break inside the walls. LIke this (although it looks like part of this would stick out of the wall?-another hole?: https://www.amazon.com/Rozin-Thermostatic-Mixing-Temperature-Control/dp/B01FAGWKTC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542006430&sr=8-3&keywords=thermostatic+control+valve#customerReviews Or does do certain valves come with it like this?: https://www.amazon.com/Hansgrohe-04231000-Thermostatic-Control-Diverter/dp/B07FDFK5SM/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1542006430&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=thermostatic+control+valve&psc=1 I was wondering, also, it sets the temp but the initial issue of being cold while the water warms up since it has to run through the pipes would still be there, right? Problem is, I have chosen champagne bronze and if I need to get the thermostatic control valve built in I think that will be hard. I'm already having a hard time finding a handheld and shower head built into the same. I might have to get a separate handheld to divert water or I'm back to the initial question of do I just push the shower head over to shoot towards the wall before I turn on the H20 or go back to the idea of moving the control valve? Here's one of the options I was looking at for a showerhead before this discuss that I might need to adjust: https://www.amazon.com/58471-CZ-PK-H2Okinetic-4-Setting-Handshower-Showerhead/dp/B009MLXJN8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1542006748&sr=8-2&keywords=shower+head+combo+with+handheld+champagne+bronze...See MoreShower bench built-in vs add-on
Comments (31)When doing a tub deck that also becomes a shower bench, the slab needs to have a seam under the glass. That way the tub deck can be level, but the bench section can be installed with the proper slope so that water drains off of it. This requires precise math, and excellent framers, and stone fabricators. It’s easy to get wrong. In a large bath, adding the second handheld by the bench, on a separate valve, makes a lot of sense. No cold bench that way! That leaves the main head for most quick showers, and you still have a handy hose for shampoo rinsing. A portable bench makes the most sense for someone needing physical assistance. Unfortunately, most portable shower benches are not that sturdy, and can actually lead to slips and injuries. That’s why the fold down benches are more popular for those needing assistance. The wood bench dogged into a wall is an interesting idea. How well it would work would lie in the waterproofing details and the detail of how it dogs into the wall....See MoreRelated Professionals
