Any other options other than tile for a bathroom?
Comments (3)Would you just glue a sheet vinyl right on top of the other vinyl or would I need some type of underlayment? We have a wetsaw and regular old saw so I thought the Durastone type "tiles" would be easier to fit into corners and such....one wrong cut with the vinyl sheet and there's no mercy for me...smaller tiles don't intimidate me, a big sheet of vinyl sure does! :) Tara...See Morebathroom floor options other than tile?
Comments (24)Natal, I also am going to be removing a tub and installing just a shower in my bath. Currently have a tub/shower combo, will be tearing it out and replacing with a shower only. I very seldom use the tub. We are 60 and 65 and showers just makes more sense for us. DH already has a 48"shower in his bath; I am thinking about a 60" (same size as unit I will be removing). That should accomodate a small handicap shower chair should the need arise. You just never know. Will let the next generation worry about a tub. Didn't mean to imply that we are too old for tubs now :)...just thinking ahead....See MoreMy bathroom is 13' x 13 1/2'. I'm not sure what size tile to use.
Comments (1)I can only say that all of those are fairly large, and it's imperative that they are dead flat if you want to avoid lippage. The larger a tile is, the more likelihood of some noticeable warping. Having said that, when I remodeled my master bath, we went for 24" X 24" tiles on the bathroom floor, and 12" X 12" tiles on the shower floor and walls (with a linear drain to allow use of such large tiles on the floor). I checked samples of the tiles for flatness in the store before purchase, and checked all of the ones that were delivered before they were installed. I was fortunate that they were all totally flat. The easiest way to check for flatness is to take two tiles, place them face-to-face, and see if you can detect any gapping by looking along all the edges....See MoreAre 3 small bathrooms or 2 large bathrooms better for resale value?
Comments (22)Dear Weedyacres: One bedroom is 13 x 25, the other is 12 x 18. The other bathroom which is not in the drawing serves two bedrooms and one of those bedrooms is really tiny. On the other side of it is the dining room, so no way to make that smaller. I guess the only possibility at this point would be to loose the tiniest bedroom and turn the current master bath into one with the spiral shower, but I don't like that idea at all because we mostly heat that part of the house with the fireplace and I wouldn't want to loose a bedroom in the main section. Plus I think that really might affect resale value. Probably best to leave as is. I am so thankful for everyone's input because I think it's helping me to see that the spiral shower is a no go. Actually, the house isn't the main feature for me. The main feature is the two acres and lots of woods and the sun room with wall to ceiling windows. And the room we will use for dancing which actually brings me to another problem. The house is on a slab and we want hardwood. Sounds like engineered is the only way to go. We keep this room about 50 degrees and we want something that won't hurt our feet like tile would do. Thanks again for your help. I really do appreciate it very much....See More- 7 years ago
