Comments (6)It's really not a problem with a shower spray head. It's unlikely that water is going to hit the wall higher than the shower head arm and run down the wall and into the wall. That said...what you can do it get some foam insulation, the stuff I'm talking about might be found in the window insulation section. You're looking for insulation that has a cross-section of maybe 1/4" to 1/2" square, it comes in rolls several feet long and has "peel and stick" on one of the edges. Cut off a piece and stick it on the BACK of the escutcheon plate. Start at roughly the 7 o'clock position, go through 12 o'clock, and stop it at 5 o'clock. Leave the area from 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock open. The idea is that the foam will stand proud of the back of the plate, and when you press the escutcheon plate to the wall, the foam will compress and seal the escutcheon plate to the wall. Any water that hits the wall above the arm and runs down will be directs around the plate and continue running down the wall. Should any water get behind the plate, it can exit through the opening between 5 and 7 o'clock and run down the wall. If you can;t find foam that's thick enough to be proud of the back of the plate, you can apply two thicknesses of foam, one on top of the other. A closed-cell foam would be better than an open cell foam. Here's a quick link to what I'm talking about:...See MoreTile on the ceiling of the shower
Comments (7)I've got the situation Bill describes and love having the ceiling tiled. Maybe not truly necessary, but one of those little touches you can do show that you've taken time to go the extra mile. Not sure if you can tell from the photo, but we put the ceiling on a diagonal. We were working with an odd space from pulling out an acrylic unit and that was a good way to disguise any difference in the way that the tiles would meet up with the sides....See Moretile in bathroom
Comments (10)Yes Towel Ring Installation The towel ring must be installed between 50 inches and 52 inches height, measured from the finish floor. If you are measuring it from the vanity then it shall be hung 20-22 inches above it. Generally, the absolute minimum height is 36" for towels, 18" for washcloths measured from the vanity countertop. The towel rail height installation will vary depending on the type and use of the bathroom. The rail will not be installed at the same height when the bathroom will be used by children. A towel rail shall be installed 48 inches above the floor. You want to check also the location of electrical outlets and decorative tile work. When installing multiple towel rails, measure the one that will be highest, and then fold a towel at that level. Mark 2 inches below the area where the towel bottom and that should be the place to install the second rail....See MoreWater Spots on Brand New Walk in Shower Tile Floor!! Send Help.
Comments (10)Beautiful shower. Perhaps they are flawed tiles that fall within the range of acceptable to the manufacturer. (I'm suggesting this based on an ad I heard from a local bath company that says they sort through the tiles and remove the ones that are acceptable to the manufacturer but not to them.) Personally, I could live with those imperfections. But if this is going to bother you endlessly, you could have the two tiles replaced. I'm not sure the grout will then be as picture perfect as it is now, though....See MoreEduardo
