Walk-in Shower - Glass wall/door or shower curtain?
Comments (7)After staying in a hotel last week with a walk in shower approximately 36" deep with a shower curtain, I strongly advise against a shower curtain. Assuming your bathroom will have an exhaust fan to help ventilate the moisture from the shower, you have to expect the shower curtain to be impacted by the moving air. The warm shower air is drawn up over the curtain into the fan. And of course more air needs to be drawn into the shower, so how does it get in there? That's right, it blows the curtain into the shower allowing the air to go under the curtain. Trying to shave my legs with a wet shower curtain sticking to my legs and arms and behind is very unpleasant. When I redo my master shower I will definitely be going with a glass door and/or fixed panel....See MoreTub/Shower or walk-in shower in guest bath?
Comments (7)Can you put in a large enough shower so that if you sold later a new owner could easily put a tub/shower combo in that same spot? I think if the opening were framed the right size, you could go with the shower now (which I think is the better choice in your particular situation) and then when it came time to sell, people could be told that a tub would fit in that same spot if they wanted to change it out. They would probably need to change the drain location, etc., but this could keep them from having to mess with framing. As a buyer, I would prefer the tub, but I am part of the smaller percentage that takes a bath 90% of the time and only showers occasionally. In our current house, we have a large garden tub, shower, and tub/shower combo. Normally I use the tub/shower combo to have the smaller tub so that it doesn't take as long to fill up the tub and I don't waste as much water....See MoreShower/tub combo or walk-in shower for 5' x 5' shower & toilet space?
Comments (3)gee, if you are planning to sell in the next few years and if it is the only tub or bath I would probably keep a tub/shower combo even though you would most likely sell to someone without kids, many people do love baths. If resale is not in the future do what works for you. No tub and glassed shower or wet room will feel much larger. My in laws in the UK just replaced their only tub with a walk in shower and will let the possible future buyers change it if need be. I just added a master bath and chose closet space and nice large shower instead of doing tub and smaller separate shower and have no regrets but we have a hall shower/bath combo....See MoreHelp! Walk in shower with toilet vs separate shower, bath and toilet
Comments (13)Chiming in from Canada here. Having the toilet so far from the shower is very weird to me. I would not like them separated, but like you said, it’s done differently traditionally in New Zealand. That said, your current layout is not like this so whoever built your home (whenever that was) didn’t think it was important enough to separate them, so why do you feel the need now? When you bought the house, did it almost make you not want to buy it? Also, 10 years from now things may be very different. Perhaps a new immigrant will buy your house and will prefer to have the toilet in the bathroom as that is what they are used to. For me I would keep the layout as it is and save the money. As far as the bathtub goes, yes they will continue to be important for young families. Maybe a shower/tub combo is an option? Or could you enlarge the bathroom by making the laundry room smaller, and add the walk-in shower while keeping the tub, sink and toilet where they are? Again, I know nothing of the New Zealand housing market so you probably need to ask your realtor. But from my perspective it’s better the way it currently is....See MoreBenjamin Broadhead
