Been seeing this more often: a pan and tub within the same enclosure. No freestanding tub outside of the shower means no water on the floor. Less cleaning, more open space in the room, and just a crisper look.

But back to reality, this nice lady’s shower pan alone is the size of my only bathroom. Sad!

This does kinda make sense although I’d lose the goofy seat and put a bigger tub in there.

The seat is not there for you, it’s there for women who want to shave in the shower... Unless of course Klingon men shave their legs I guess, then it can be for you as well Mr. Worf.

oh nice... they have a comfy hangover shower chair :D

(i used to have that when i still lived with me parents as me dad was wheelchair bound... wasnt as fancy or anything... but damn a chair in the shower is a great thing when all you want to do is die and get it over with)

Always always ALWAYS buy the protectant, totally worth it. They also come with a warranty. You would not believe the things I’ve seen. One year old doors in areas with hard water that are absolutely ruined.

I’ve been working on a master bath remodel for the last six weeks. I removed a standard shower stall and soaker tub, converted the space into a 9' by 3' shower. I hope to be finished mid-April.

When I was stationed in Diego Garcia the barracks rooms had big showers like the bathrooms were designed with full tubs in mind. Lawn chairs and six packs were pretty common when showering.

I want this. Completely tiled floor to ceiling, waterproof sockets, and a pressure washer hookup. Add a cartridge for whatever chemical you are cleaning with that day, and blast away. Would also need a few high power fans for venting. I might be slightly OCD haha

there will be a glass wall left and right. 6' tall, 34" wide each. In the middle between the two glass walls will be a 28" wide entry to the shower (no door)

Nice. Consider springing for 1/2" thick glass instead of 3/8". Better product and less deflection (wobbling)

Bonus points for windows in enclosure, but away from shower. Two rentals I had years ago were a nightmare to clean due to windows in the shower.

I need it to be heavier duty with a few drains on the floor. Just picture whatever would work getting blasted with high pressure cleaner and water. Maybe 3 high pressure hose hookups in the wall, waterproof cabinets/fixtures/lights/etc. Almost industrial like a locker room, but with some nice added design touches to make it feel homey.

I literally just want to power-wash every surface of the bathroom, top to bottom every week. Keep that mildew and limescale at bay! It would be cheaper to get a cleaner ever week, but where is the fun in that!

I’d suggest getting a door. Showers that don’t have doors are way too drafty.

That is huge you could fit a lot of male prostitues in there. It would be nice to not worry about water on the floor in front of the tub.

I guess you should get solid slate instead of typical tile. That grout will wear out pretty quick!

True, but he’d need to do more than that. He wants 6' tall panels meaning there is 2' minimum of open space above those panels. He needs something like this if keeping in more steam is what he wants :

I’ve been trying to figure out the best route for a bathroom for myself and my significant other. I refuse to spend several thousand on a bathtub yet want one than my 6’4” self can be fully in the water.

I definitely will go with a setup like this though.

In my showering experiences/preferences, it’s not about keeping in steam so much as general heat. If the tops are open it’s fine, it’s when the glass wall isn’t completely enclosed with a door it’s just too drafty for me. One step out of the water, or as soon as it’s off I’m freezing and don’t like it.

I can’t wait until we get to remodeling our master.

Frenchlicker > SPAMBot - Horse Doctor 03/23/2018 at 18:41

I don’t know about the tile and fixtures but the pressure washer thing would be n easy setup. Stick with the quick change nozzles so you can use it on yourself or for cleaning and have the temperature control thing located near bathroom.

I was wondering about that. can you order 6 giant slabs of marble/granite/whatever is trendy?

Better yet, can the stone people just cut out the inside of a YUUUGE block? That way I don’t have any seams???

This is a lottoball winning plan, so might as well go all out haha

Build like a poultry or swine barn. They are regularly cleaned with heated high pressure washers(know that from experience).

The real question is:

How do you keep those glass walls/doors clean?! Unless you clean them 5 times a week, they’ll have calc stains on them eventually. And it’s almost impossible to get them off.

Do people actually clean their own houses and mow their own lawns these days? I mean, aside from people with riding lawn mowers due to massive amounts of land/lawn. Our Roombas (Carl & Carla) do most of the vacuuming, with a quick clean once a week and a major cleaner visit once a month.

Haha. I would use some kind of man-made glass material. Cheaper than the various stones and most stone is porous (like granite, and I hate real granite for this reason)...

I definitely like that the glass doesn’t go all the way up to the ceiling (fan location notwithstanding)! Too bad the marble tile just stops at the towel rack, though. Should’ve gone all the way over that remaining bit of wall, if you ask me..

Also, where the hell does one find those ladder-style towel racks?? I need one to finish my bathroom reno and can’t seem to find them anywhere...

Either that, or squeegee it religiously after every shower forever (and it will still get nasty after awhile). CLR takes more elbow grease than I personally have to take care of bad calcium deposits on shower glass. Ymmv

I bought 1/2" glass walls. If I don’t like the opening I can always add a door easily enough. I got quotes for floor to ceiling walls with a door, $7k. I bought the two walls for $488
