Shower screen ideas at back of walk in shower
Comments (24)Okay, there is just a whole lot wrong there, and it is not just the shower pan, thus some of the harsh comments. The tiles do not overlap the pan, providing no mechanism to channel water from the walls into the pan. Water will get through the grout on the walls. It should then travel down a waterproof membrane, into the pan and down the drain. Your installation can't do that. The water will go down the waterproofing (assuming it exists), outside your shower pan and into lower walls and/or your floor. Even if your tile DOES overlap the shower pan, water can still wick out side the pan area, then down the wall, into the floor, because your pan isn't big enough. Simply purchasing a new enclosure to sit on top of the pan will not solve this problem Your existing glass panel doesn't even reach the end of the shower pan, providing an easy avenue for water to reach outside the shower "enclosure. Even if you increase the size of your shower pan to cover the entire area, if the waterproofing wasn't done correctly, you will still have water in your walls. Unless your entire bathroom floor is constructed like a wet area, with waterproofing and a drain mechanism, then this is destined to be a problem no mater what you do with the enclosure. Given all of that, we are back to, "This is beyond stupid." Reality is, you will replace this now for a large fee, OR you will replace this and repair the water damage for a really large fee. Pay now or pay more later - it's as simple as that....See MoreHow to convert walk-in shower to shower-tub combo
Comments (5)Plumbing system would also be different as you would need a diverter plus fixtures for a bath and they would think they would all have to work together. I did the opposite (removed tub/shower for a larger shower) and my drain also had to be changed. A bath generally has something that stops water to fill up the bath whereas a shower drains continually....See MoreReplace tub/shower with neoangle vs rectangular walk-in shower
Comments (0)I am planning to remodel my 2nd floor hallway bathroom. The bathroom dimensions are 8 x 7.5 feet, with the entry door at the end of the longer side. I will be converting the tub/shower (30x60) to a walk-in shower. I am in California, where minimum shower opening is 22 inches, and shower doors must open outward only. My options for the shower are as follows: 1) Rectangular shower, approx. 36 x 48 inch interior, with 28 inch pivot door 2) Neoangle shower, approx. 48 x 48 inch full walls with 24 x 24 inch pony walls on the sides, and 28 inch center pivot door 3) Rectangular shower, approx. 32 x 56 inch interior, with sliding glass doors 4) Curved shower, similar to neoangle, but with curved shower enclosure 5) French doors on shower -- but I do not know if this would meet code Any thoughts? Preferences?...See MoreTile vs. floor insert in shower
Comments (4)We got a corian shower pan and have tiled walls. The corian matches our floor tile- kind of a warm cement gray. Some people might not like it, but I really do, and I think the color match keeps it from looking like we cheaped out. So easy to clean and such a nice feel on the feet too. Oh, and because we had to get a custom pan, it was more expensive than a tile shower floor....See Moreplan2remodel
