glass shower door, tiled shower curb & water containment
Comments (4)I have a shower with no curb -- it's designed to be a roll-in. There is a vinyl sweep on the bottom of the door, and there is absolutely no problem with water. On one side of the door we have 3" tiles (the inside the shower part) and on the other 12" tiles (the rest of the bathroom floor). You don't need a chrome strip. All it will do is get grungy. As for French doors, that's fine, if you want to spend the extra money. We have one door....See MoreWill a shower curtain work on a low curbed shower?
Comments (3)slc, we replaced our standard tub with a shower only, using the kerdi shower kit. With the slate tile on top of the curb, the outside finished cork floor to top of curb measurement is around five and five 8ths high. The inside shower floor to tile top is around 3. I find my shower curtain blows in a bit at the bottom, but I generally solve this by putting a shampoo bottle on the bottom hem, on the curb, or making sure the window in the shower is closed while showering. Had I realized that the inside measurement was higher with the kerdi floor in, than the outside.. well duh!! (brain malfunction on my behalf!!) I'd have raised the curb another couple of inches, just to not feel the cold curtain on warm body parts. Someone had mentioned in passing that perhaps I have an issue because I have over a foot of space above the curtain rod to the shower arch, and if I got a longer curtain (to the inside top of the arch, I might not have this issue. Haven't done it yet! Good luck! Kym...See MoreHelp! Shower curb doesn’t line up with pony wall.
Comments (8)I would leave it as it is not worth tearing apart the entire shower for that. You cannot fix it without getting it again realistically. Of course this is assuming it was all built properly underneath the tile....See MoreIs a curb-less shower possible? 54"w x72"D shower.
Comments (7)Bill- Don't carry the underfloor heating into the shower. From a thermodynamic standpoint it does nothing: the water coming out of the shower head will overwhelm any contribution it makes in a second or two. Also, if it is the type of underfloor heating that consists of electrical mats, you don't want it in the shower: if there is a break in any of the wires at some point, it can pose a shock hazard....See MoreAmber I
