Steam shower in bathroom w/VERY hi vaulted ceiling-glass ceiling?
Comments (3)I got the glass through a local shop. My situation was different, as only one wall, the "front" door wall, was glass. The other three walls were kerdi and tile. The sloped glass ceiling was captured in the walls on three sides and clear silicon was used to seal the remaining side to the front wall of glass. I'm not sure what type of specific seal was used on the door. It might have been clear vinyl. If you do a search or ask at the glass shops, it might also help if you refer to it as a "raked" (sloped) front wall of glass. Actually, lemme see if I can get a quick google hit... Found one at Wilson Glass. Not exactly what you're looking for though. Using something like that with a sealed transom overhead would work and be the lest expensive. Having the front wall as a single piece of glass with the door cutout of it would be $$$$$....See Morebathroom/steam shower tile choice
Comments (4)Glass is fine, porcelain and ceramics are fine too. I'd also recommend not using natural stone. If it's a concern, the negative with glass is that you usually have more grout with glass than you have with ceramic/porcelain. Grout is more vapor permeable than tile or glass. Not a big deal, but I thought I'd shoot that out there. My first choice with a steam shower is Kerdi membrane. It keeps the vapor barrier imediately behind the tile. Still, a vapor barrier behind cement board will perform well. For steam showers that will have the vapor barrier behind the backer board I especially prefer a true cement board (durock or wonderboard) as the tile backer instead of Hardieboard. Again, it's a personal preference. You know the ceiling should be sloped in a steam shower, right?...See MoreHelp with Master suite & guest bathroom layout
Comments (6)I like the larger bathroom, but I think the doors conflict and it is nice to have them open into the closet. I'd do a good pocket door into the bathroom to avoid more conflict although it could open against the wall next to the sink. You do loose more closet storage, but corners aren't all that valuable in a closet. You could fit a lot of clothes in there by double hanging rods. That would save some money over the Pax system. Plus your closet now seems more separate from the bathroom by extending the wall. Here is another idea for the main bath. My daughter has stacked washer and dryer and is short, but uses the arrangement well. You have plenty of room in front of the W/D to get clothes in and out. The toilet is off to the side. The vanity could be 72 inches with 2 sinks. The bonus is the door would open up against the tub and the room would feel more open. The laundry would be easily accessible without the bathroom door being in the way. Folding laundry in the laundry room is overrated. I had a nice space for folding laundry in our 1 st house with a window to look out. I usually took the laundry to the TV area and sat down on the floor to fold....See MoreRemodel of Awkward Master Ensuite Bathroom - Help with Shower&Vanity
Comments (3)Unless I am missing something a townhouse is an attached home and not stacked on top of other homes. It is not generally considered to be a multifamily dwelling - i.e. having multiple units within four exterior walls with shared plumbing stacks. Therefore plumbing lines aren't shared and bathroom and kitchen models are generally constrained in the same way detached homes or semi-attached homes are - i.e. most people for budgetary reasons keep toilets in same place and try to avoid major changes in pipes and drains. FWIW, I am in a high rise condo and converted my tub/shower combo to a larger walk in shower that followed the footprint of the original tub....See MoreJudy Mishkin
