Inspector doesn't like glass blocks in shower
Comments (10)The acrylic block window I got is a functional awning style window, complete from the factory in a vinyl frame. It's designed for new construction, but I just cut the nailing flange off and presto, it's a remodel unit! The manufacturer's name is Hy-Lite. I ordered it from the Home Depot special order desk, after I convinced the third store that they could get it. Here's a pic, still under construction They have all kinds of styles available in standard and custom sizes, and a handful of patterns. A friend of mine installed a 4' x 6' awning window in his bathroom, and it's fantastic! I recommend 'em. Joe...See MoreDo you use a fabric or vinyl shower curtain liner?
Comments (14)Both. I have a clear vinyl curtain inside with a fabric curtain outside. I always buy the vinyl curtains that have the metal grommets...the plastic ones are ripped in no time flat otherwise. I do wash the vinyl one often...I put the old rag bath towels that we use for cleaning in the middle of the curtain (the gunky side) wash on warm and add bleach. The towels rubbing against the vinyl wash it right off. Of course after so many washes you can see its time to replace, but I don't have to replace the vinyl ones as often. My GF leaves the shower rings right on hers when she washes it. I have sometimes but I don't know if that would work without a front load machine..might get ripped on the center agitator in a top loader....See MoreCan a shower curtain be used w/ a Kohler shower pan?
Comments (42)I keep revisiting this thread, hoping for a Sign. :) Is it ever acceptable to use a shower pan and create a tile threshold over it, thereby making it higher? As for cleaning the nonskid elements of a shower or tub. I have some wonderful nonskid strips in my otherwise very slippery acrylic tub where I take my showers. Yes, they pick up and hold grime a little too well and you can't just go gangbusters cleaning acrylic. The other day I used some Softscrub and a curved nail brush that fits around a couple of fingers. With very little elbow grease ALL the grime was removed and the shape of the nail brush is very ergonomic....See MoreTub/Shower Combo Under Window - A good idea?
Comments (7)Moving bearing walls can be easy and difficult. It can be expensive especially with getting an engineer and permits. Installiing a window in a wet area needs some special attention. It needs to be flashed or proofed in some way and not relying on a caulk joint. The window can be pulled in flush with wall substrate Or recessed . The sill / stool area should be tipped slightly to drain water to the inside. You are essentially waterproofing the window like you would on the outside when doing a nail fin new construction window so all water that leaks gets channels to the outside of the waterproof membrane and channels into the tub....See Moremaddie260
