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 MoreCorner shower bench
Comments (2)Technically that bench can be used in a myriad of shower building methods (IF DONE RIGHT) it all comes down to planning a full build-out first and then choosing components like this bench. Many things factor in starting with the drain line and the subfloor/framing and budget plus the skill and knowledge of proper waterproofing. If you are to go FULL USG I will tell you their full durock shower system is a win win for the homeowner and any quality Tile mechanic will be able to quickly adapt to its installation specs. As well USG has local and regional "Field reps" that can both guide you in where to purchase youre materials and help you find a good vendor that may lead to an expert installer if you dont already have one. I have used the system and can tell you its very good for a cost effective waterproof shower. Youre size shower will likely cost around $500-1K in USG materials (depending on options) so you dont want to hire a hack that may risk youre materials investment.. I suggest buying all the components rather than A KIT so you get what you need and dont need.... -best Insist on an inspected shower pan flood test....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 Moresjhockeyfan325
