Question about shower niche for subway tiled bathroom
Comments (1)Can’t help you with your dilemma, but I would like to say a nay for a niche. Yucky to clean. If you have this possibility, use a shelf instead....See Morequestion about use of bullnose tile for the shower curb
Comments (18)The contractor does not want to use the bullnose tiles at all on the sides of the threshold. The stone fabricator sold me the bullnose tiles saying that those should be used on the sides of the threshold (which will be 59 1/2'' long -- the length of the tub being converted into a shower). The contractor said that it made no sense to him to use the bullnose tiles on the sides of the threshold because the bullnose tiles were not tall enough for the threshold sides. He would need to put a tile underneath the bullnose tiles. The lesson I learned from this is that it is best to have the contractor review the tile purchase order before purchasing tiles (and not trust the bathroom designer at the store)....See MoreRestarting tub-to-shower conversion, questions about glass enclosure
Comments (9)Thanks for the input. I just measured my master shower door and it's 28.5". I think I will plan for a 26" door, swinging inward and outward. I like the idea of the pony wall being a little bit longer and just leaving the 26" space for the future door. My contractor is very thorough and will be sure to block for a door and grab bar to be installed in future if desired. Definately will put the controls in the pony wall like we did in master. The depth of the room right now is 64" from the current finished shower tile to the wall. So without encroaching on the 30" space for the toilet, we could get a 34" depth shower. That's still pretty small, but don't see a way to make it deeper without expanding the scope and $$ by stealing space from adjacent attic. If money were no object we would look into doing that. I'll ask the contractor about it, but I don't think budget will allow....See MoreShower Window: Question about timelines
Comments (8)What the frame thickness? I would imagine 3 1/4", and then your wall is 4 9/16" so you would need cement board returns which would need to be taped , as well as the window to cement board transition, then the whole enchilada covered with Aqua Defense. I do not know how it would possibly to do all of that after the tile was installed. Personally I would wait since you obviously cannot plan it out better at this point and this point of the waterproofing stage is crucial as you really do not want your exterior wall system getting water infiltration (insulation wet = mold = rot)....See MoreUser
