Bathroom Tubs and Shower Shopping Guide - Available in Provo, Utah
There are a number of ways to create a shower unit in your newly remodeled bathroom. Combine it with a bathtub, install a self-contained shower unit, install a shower pan or install your own custom shower pan and walls, complete with tile. Self contained units have their own walls but must also be supported with structural walls - the advantage is that no tiling is required in this situation. Drain pans are generally included. Some have ceilings. Some have doors, others don't. All require non-abrasive cleaners. Fiberglass-reinforced plastic is more expensive than enameled tin or steel.
Accessories for Bathroom Walls to Consider During a Remodeling Job
The essential bathroom accessories – soap dishes, towel bars and toilet tissue holders – and many less essential ones are available in three types. Flush set accessories mounted on the wall bus like tile or paneling. They are installed at the time of wall-covering is applied. Recessed accessories, when applied at the same stage of wall finishing, are, as the name suggests, fitted into holes in the wall.
Vertical or L-shaped grab-bars, resembling towel racks but more sturdily mounted, are a useful addition to any bathroom. Like other surface-mounted accessories, they are fixed on top of the wall coverings. But plastic anchors should not be used to hold the mounting screws for a grab bar. Some people use hollow-wall fasteners, but it is better to screw a grab bar directly into wood blocking placed behind the wall at the time of framing the room with studs and other supports.
If a wall is being tiled, flush-set accessories are generally installed. Leave an opening for them at the time of tiling, cutting tiles as needed to trim the edges of the space. When setting or replacing a flush-set accessory, use plaster of paris rather than tile adhesive to bond it to the wall. The plastic grips every little crevice around the opening and expands slightly as it sets, strengthening the bond.
Recessed accessories can be installed in any wall that can be cut, and are suitable for tiled walls if a space for them is planned and the underlying material is cut before tiling. The small opening in the wall must be cut to the same dimensions as the accessory's recessed part, the edges at least 1 1/2 inches from a stud.
