Where is the shower drain?

2 years ago

I am a contractor and love the curbless showers although i don't like the drain against the wall because it can build up standing water being not enough pitch.

Hello! The linear drain sits directly in front of the freestanding tub. If you zoom in, you can see how the shower drains to the back.

Thank you!

OK, Now I see the drain although with that large tile I cant see the pitch being efficient on all four sides of the drain without a small pool of water at the corners somwhere.I guess thats the trade off of having those attractive large tiles instead of a small mosaic where the pitch can be more established. Please give me your thoughts? Thank You ! Custom Creations Tile & Marble

Need advice on bi-fold door
Q

I had a bi-fold made, less than 500$ with install. It replaces a lowes door that was not hollow core, but crappy enough to fall apart at the joints. It was the best money I have spent on a door, because it solved a huge privacy problem, and is solid as a rock. Each side is hinged on the sides, and the top rail is hidden with a piece of wood set outside it, in the same wood as the doors (cypress).

About your plumber saying "plumb layout is confirmed". That is a load of rubbish. It's fairly easy to move drains around (yes he might have to rip up some walls, but he can also do off-the-wall installations to avoid that). In a small bath proper placement is of the utmost importance!!! If you have the bathtub and shower next to each other that will be much better and then the glass separator idea should work. padmaramachandran's (see post above) setup sounds more reasonable to me as well (see first picture below). This is similar to your setup but as you have more space you could put in bath tub and shower where the picture only shows a bath tub. Also if you do it that way you could theoretically have a bidet or a wider wash basin (small double perhaps too). Example layout: Do you need a bathtub in the guest bath? If not you have a lot more room to work with. E.g. for a double wash basin and large walking shower and a bidet (2nd picture). Example of off-the-wall installation for toilet and bidet and a large walking shower. Finally if you ignore this advice and do it the way you planned ;) then I suggest you really thing about that glass separator. Doing it right will make a lot of difference (see 3rd picture). Good luck!

East Kent Eco - again thank you for your input. As a pro I wonder if you could offer your thoughts on a couple of scenarios 1 - Leave bath where it is - what would be involved in moving the shower 4-6 inches to the centre of the bath? I did consider the P shaped bath and will consider your suggestion for a shorter bath to allow room for the toilet, but I currently had to put in a door stop to protect the shower door from the entrance door handle and I would be concerned about a rounded door being even closer. If I left the bath where it is I have a couple of options, turning the toilet and cistern 90 degrees to the adjoining wall - see above for the considerations there, or I have also considered switching the toilet and sink. I would put the sink facing the wall where the cistern currently is have a large-ish vanity from the base of the bath to the wall, and the if the toilet was where the sink is it would not interfere with the doors for the hot press as the seat would be considerably lower than the sink is currently thus giving me the better access I want. In this scenario the main issue for me would be the toilet would be facing the entrance door, a bit unsightly but if it gave me the space I want I think I could live with the compromise. 2 - A bit more involved, but I have also considered moving the bath sideways along the short length of the room, shower end over the space where the cistern is currently and moving the sink and toilet to the space where the bath is currently. I think this would allow me room for a vanity and maybe also a tall storage cupboard for the towels and linens currently in the hot press. The obvious concern with this is the shower spray in the direction of the hot press, if I got the storage I needed elsewhere in the bathroom I wouldn't be concerned about those getting wet, but would want to ensure I don't end up with a leak over the stairs. Access would also be an issue if repairs were required for the shower pump or the hot water system. You would have to step into the bath to gain access. Is there a solution to waterproof the cupboard?

Hello Josep, thank you, we and the clients LOVE this home too. Our tile installers and subcontractors are experts and the best in their fields. The pattern in which the tile was installed ensures that no water would pool anywhere in the shower, as well as several intricate slopes that lead to the linear drain. After our clients have resided in their home, there have been no complaints!

Thank you again!
