curbless/low curb shower options?
Comments (12)We have a low curb shower base in our MB. It is made from the same granite slab that we used for our counter top. There are some ridges cut into the stone to keep it from being slippery. The front outside part of the curb is just a little bit over an inch above the tile. The fabricator normally just uses one drain in the basin and said they have never had an issue with draining or overflow but our plumber insisted that he wanted 2 drains so they did what the plumber wanted. The link below gives some information, cross section pictures and specs about the basins. Perhaps there is a fabricator in your area that does this type of basin. Edited to correct the height of the curb. Decided I should measure it instead of guessing. Here is a link that might be useful: Low profile stone basin This post was edited by badgergal on Sun, Jul 27, 14 at 23:57...See MoreMaster bath - which do you prefer?
Comments (21)OP back. Wow - lots more traffice after a lul. I will take it! Well after I saw babka's I was sold on keeping it as is. I don't think I want the door against glass. I know my dh does NOT. My only issue at this point is that the door swings by that one sink....which after some arguing IS DH's SINK! I spend much more time drying my hair etc. than the 2 second he takes 'getting ready'. So the only time I think the door will be shut is when one of us is sleeping. Following through on that premise - I think a door jam at the sink would really be a rarety. We will either both be up and in the bathroom or one of us will be asleep and the door will be shut. I am still pondering the pocket door.... oly-I am intrigued by a shower curtain in a stand up shower. You've had no issues with water? I think we could always start out with a curtain and then move to a door. Live with it a while. I have thought about the towels by the toilet factor....hmmm. There is another bathroom on the main level and I am hoping to encourage our kids to use it! nancy-I really like that! Thanks for posting the link. I bookmarked it and might just use it for the kids bathroom too. :) I will need to double check my dimensions. Thank you for all of the input. So many decisions starting to stack up on me!

Comments (7)Nope. Not that simple. Do you have 4' between the entry point (high point) and wall (low point) where a trench drain will go so you can get the 2'' fall needed? And that's measured and constructed with a preslope of deck mud over the dropped concrete slab. How experienced are you with rough plumbing? Can you get the 1/4" per foot fall from the relocated drain to the main? Concrete is porous and will need to be waterproofed. And you'll need to do a capillary break or else create a complete wetroom....See MoreWhat would you do with my master bath shower?
Comments (4)You won't need a curb, or much of one. with all that extra depth even if you make it flush. You have room to slope it properly. i would build a knee wall to just above doorknob height and put fixed glass above that and a swinging door in the rest of the opening. And offset the controls so they can be reached easily from outside....See Morepr16
