Using large format stone in the shower. Some observations...
Comments (5)The Pimple I should have the LED lights in by days end tomorrow. I love this shower! We backed down the flow from our new supply lines source. We installed two 1" Globe Valves and I found it took 11 wrist rotations to open fully or close it off tight. I calculated we needed to ristrict the water by 60 percent to make this 'Sculpture" safe. I gave the valves 4 wrist turns from a closed position and fired up the system. No change the shower was still flat out. Next 2. Next 1. Next 1/2 Next 1/4 turn. Amazing. I only opened these valves a 1/4 turn and the shower works like your every day unit. With the "Big Rain" the water is softer and doesn't belt you. Hope you like it....See MoreNeed Help - Large Format Tile in Shower Floor
Comments (41)Birchpoint - Larger tile was from; http://www.flooranddecoroutlets.com/calacatta-porcelain-tile-12in-x-24in.html This web picture looks a lot more beige than my tiles which are more white. You can order a sample. The Floor tile is from Arizona tile: http://www.arizonatile.com/Assets/ProductImages/M/Misingi_Suber_464x464.jpg I think the combination of the taupe floor tile and the porcelain marble tile is the most stunning part of the bathroom. Though some might argue that we should have used mosaic in the bottom of the shower floor but I chose "form over function" for this. With the grab bars which I definitely use because I don't have good balance, I haven't fallen. There is a spray you can purchase on Amazon for tile or other possibly slippery surfaces that can be used if you want to be sure it is less slippery. My tile guy recommended it if i needed more traction. Maybe when I get a bit older, I will apply it for more safety. The size of the shower is one of the best parts of the remodel. 5ft X 5ft is the official size that allows one to say their shower fits the ADA standard. We didn't size ours for that reason but it turns out, it really is the perfect size for us. I love how when you are showering, all sides can be reached without moving too far yet there is still a nice feeling of spaciousness. Some of the pictures I posted in another thread may give you a better idea of the bathroom. Here Also, as I have mentioned in several other threads on GW, not having a shower door has turned out to be so wonderful and enhances the shower experience greatly. We had our contractor build the walls so we could add a shower door if we decided we wanted one but as it turns out, that is the VERY LAST THING we would ever want. To anyone who is in doubt, I say "try it, you will probably like it". Here is a link that might be useful: Hall bath...See MoreNeed assistance finding an accent tile!
Comments (15)Just wanted to post a follow-up, our house is very close to completion and I really appreciated all of your help in finding a bathroom tile! We ended up going with the Rum Raisin tile to go with our Kashmir White granite and are incredibly pleased with the results! They're not quite done with the final touches and cleaning but I thought I'd share a few progress photos! (Sorry for the poor quality in some photos, the lights weren't all installed so I was having to drag a lightbulb in for extra light.) Granite is in and awaiting tile installation! Accent tile is in and so is the faucet, from Moen's 90 Degree Collection! So close to being done! Shower with the matching accent tile line!
