pattn1.. The pan in the photo probably has flanges on two sides. Pans are available with one or more thresholds. For example, MTI Baths makes acrylic pans that can be specified for 1,2or 3 flanges. Here’s one that I’m considering: https://mtibaths.com/assets/product-specs-2018/MTSB-4236MT.pdf Refer to the section on Construction features ar the bottom of the spec sheet. It says, “Factory-installed tile flange on 1, 2 or 3 sides to facilitate installation. PLEASE SPECIFY WHICH SIDES WHEN ORDERING.” It’s not inexpensive, but quality seems to be better than other brands. I’ve also looked at soapstone and quartz pans. They don’t have flanges at all and I don’t know how the walls are constructed to prevent leaks. Maybe one of the pros will chime in.

I raised 3 rowdy boys and have never had that problem. Wonder why. I think that may be the only problem I have never experienced with home furnishings. I am astounded. I might have to have a party, maybe a beer bash, and celebrate one thing my sons never accomplished,forcing cushions from their correct position on the sofa. Now, I am pretty sure if they knew of this dilemma, they and their daddy could have seen to it that my cushions easily made friends with the floor, because if anything, they were all boy and real boys. You know boys with big hairy chests and huge calves, able to belch, play defensive tackle, make noises such with their hands and armpits such that the family next door could hear what sounds like passing gas, know how to whistle so that the dogs in the next county come running, men boys, not geldings, boys who go about their life's work with the same fervor as splitting huge logs with a small axe and one hand, snapping the heads of poisonous snakes with the flip of the wrist, able to scrape and paint, hang wallpaper without a tray, install garbage disposals and toilets, put down hardwood flooring, unclog plumbing, install lighting, take down cottage cheese ceilings, hang draperies without tearing them. They can lift and move large dressers and figure out how without assistance to get the grand piano from one room to another. If necessary, one can hold up the car while the other changes a tire without a jack, fly airplanes, but they never made the cushions push forward. These are boys whose largest celebration on being told they were national merit scholars was inserting a thumb into the jaw and making the sound of a popping cork. I am almost disappointed that there was some manly fete they never accomplished. I suspect I was buying the wrong sofas, although over the years they were in my home, I had 11.

Here are a few design issues I see frequently: Failing to see the big picture: Mixing older warm tones with the newer (but now passing possibly) cool tones. Example - someone puts a cool tone floor in a warm kitchen - or a cool kitchen in a warm toned home - they have made a big investment and now it does not look right. Another example, glass mosaic backsplash - pretty in a 12 x 12 sheet, but overwhelming when installed and often the wrong colors for the kitchen. Taking out or ruining a traditional timeless element and replacing with a trendy element - Exp: painting a traditional brick fireplace jailhouse gray. People who think - possibly due to poor info given on places like HGTV - that they can remodel their kitchen before they put their home on the market and get their money back and more. Clutter. Often see people considering a remodel to make a kitchen bigger when it is plenty big, just the space is poorly utilized. Failing to see the details. For example, the inspiration photo of a white kitchen that has a pretty hood, a couple of glass doors, pretty millwork - and the person paints their ordinary old cabinets white and wonders why it doesn't look like the white kitchen inspiration pic. Changing things up to realize what they think their kitchen "should" look like rather then exploring what really makes them smile.

yaaaaaa...Sub zero is quite a bit of a price jump. Why not a JA fan --- their reviews are highly positive?
