Advice on Master Shower - do you love yours?
Comments (7)I went with Hansgrohe. I have a rainshower head with the addition of an integrated waterfall. Then I have a 3rd option, a handheld. I think my handheld is wimpy, I should have gone with another style. The rainshower is wonderful. The waterfall feature is like running a garden hose wide open and I believe it would rinse anyone's hair without problems. I don't use it often. I almost exclusively use the rain shower feature. This setup will not work in California, I dont think because of the water restrictions. I put this in, in 2013. Water restrictions and fixtures may have evolved since then. It was a complicated install by my old school plumber, but he got it. The directions weren't as clear as they could have been. Always call tech support with any questions. Here is my shower setup. It is in an alcove space that accepts a kohler 36"x60" cast iron shower pan. BTW to keep my shower clean, I don't use the squeegee any longer. It is hard and slow to use. I use a very large microfiber towel that is for auto detailing. It works great. I never have to clean my shower, except the shower pan periodically. The microfiber towel is made in Korea, the best place for microfiber. The website is The Rag Company. I comment to people, would you dry your auto with a squeegee, or would you rather use a towel? Same with the shower, so much quicker and thorough with a towel. Anyway, I love my shower head. It is wide to cover the body well. About 17". I have a 3 way valve on it, so that any 2 features can be on at the same time. But it does cut down on water pressure when I share the water between the 2. It is a 3/4" copper pipe, leading to several iboxes, on at the valve and one at the rain shower head. This is Hansgrohe's product for these installations....See MoreMaster Bath Shower Faucets - wall and ceiling shower head only?
Comments (13)We redid our MB with an overhead, a hand held, also a grab bar. I think the handheld is great. We use it for cleaning screen windows, the dog, sometimes my feet, etc. Although I think the ceiling overhead shower head looks glamorous , it makes washing your hair awkward. You have to step out of the water pathway to get the shampoo in your hair, vs. a wall mount you step back a few inches and you can get shampoo in while still being showered with the water....See MoreNeed advice >> Shiplap accent wall in den?
Comments (9)I don't really think shiplap would give you much bang for the buck in this space. If it were mine, I'd focus on revamping the artwork on the walls, replacing the mirrors with something that holds personal meaning, and maybe doing something more dramatic with artwork where you have the map. Something that reminds you of favorite travels or places, perhaps? Enlarged personal photos or big original canvas paintings?...See MoreIs a marble tile shower wall with well water asking for trouble?
Comments (8)@kasmit00 - same!! I’m still ordering samples but getting close. I don’t think I’ve ever been so indecisive in my life! I am sticking with porcelain with just a marble accent. Too many horror stories about marble showers that leaked or were destroyed by small cracks, leaks, rust, etc....See MoreRelated Professionals
