Deck mount handheld sprayer in shower/tub alcove?
Comments (11)enduring - yes we will have an access panel because we will have an air bathtub (at least that is the current plan). shanghaimom - Yes, DH has seen plenty of pictures of nice handheld showerheads, and we actually just purchased one for our masterbath. But he still doesn't like them and this bathroom will have marble walls (master is white subway) and I think he doesn't want anything hanging in front of the marble. As for the hose length. I was looking at Newport Brass last night and you can purchase the hose, handheld and mount type (deck, bar, holder) all separately. The hose length is the same no matter what mounting method - 59" which seems long enough to me....our shower/tub is only 60"x30" so i think we will be fine. So I take it, it can be done and there shouldn't be any issues???...See MoreGlass shower half-door
Comments (4)I can tell you this... when we remodeled our shower, it was usable while we waited for the glass to be installed. It is up against 2 full tile walls, the back wall is tiled and about shoulder height. (The glass would be the door and another 2 ft on top of the shoulder height wall.) It was doable - being very careful not to splash too much water out... that being said, I HATED IT! It was so cold! Even standing in hot, hot water, without something to contain the heat, the "breeze" coming in was not conducive to a happy shower. It was the end of May in MD - so not even a cold time of year. I think if you end up with having an "open" shower, at least make sure you have some sort of heat light over top!...See Moreshower curtain with half wall - looking for advice
Comments (6)You could do a ceiling-mount Trax shower curtain just for the opening. You cut the track down to fit. Trax liners are expensive because they're full height, but you could get a cheap standard liner and trim and hem the side to fit and use the drop chains that Trax sells. I'd also have the wall prepped for a future hinged shower door for when the parents reclaim the shower. http://www.ceilingshowerrod.com/new/index.php Put your valve on the half wall so you don't have to reach in and get wet. I'm copying this one, with a niche to hide the shampoo bottles and a tile-mounted towel hook for the squeegee....See MoreTub with half glass
Comments (1)Try taking a shower with your curtain half open. Its basically the same thing......See More

10 months agoMy guess is that the OP is referring to the type of shower doors common in Europe. Half or full, all glass needs regular maintenance. Wiped/squeegeed after every use and cleaned weekly. You can get glass that has been treated to help with water stains, but you still need to be on top of it. I don’t really like the half glass, because I always feel cold - steam escapes. For shower/tubs, I just prefer a shower curtain - easy to maintain and you can add color or pattern.
