The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn It is polished.

The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn No, this was not really a concern with this space as the shower spray is mainly contained within the shower area itself. A spatter or two may get onto the toilet, but not much more than that (unless the kids get a hold of the hand spray, haha!)

The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn By stool, are you referring to the toilet or the bench seat? A toilet must have a minimum of 30" of width and 21" in front for proper clearances. In this bath we had to bump into the adjoining room (you can see the transition at the wall) in order to achieve the proper dimensions.

The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn Thanks!

Custom Home Planning Center There is one way you could pull it off. Since in Arab countries a hand shower is generally found next to a toilet as opposed to a bidet you could think of the toilet as a shower seat. Locating the valve and water supply in such a way that a hook on the side wall for the hand shower was high enough to have the hand shower used as a shower.I would most likely cheat a few more inches out by adding a header in the wall opposite the toilet to allow the wall cavity space to be added to the bath withe.

hildegard09 If the tiles on the floor are standard 2" then it's around 4' wide is my best guestimate

The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn The drain is sloped just like a typical drain in a custom shower base, however, in this instance it was notched into the existing floor joists and extra structural support was added. It is a bit tricky, and I highly recommended hiring a competent qualified contractor with experience doing these types of installations. You will also want to check local buildings codes, and if structural work needs to be done you will most likely need the help of an architect or structural engineer.

S. Thomas Kutch Okay..... well, the biggest problem is going to be your existing slab. It's flat. You're going to have to resolve the drainage issue with a sloped base. It's doable with a power chisel, some hydraulic cement, and a thin set water proofing membrane system for you finish tile to mount to.
Now, concerning your wall substrate. I'm guessing if your house is not relatively new, you have sheet rock on your walls. At best maybe some green board (moisture-resistant sheet rock). Most current codes will require a cement backer board for tile in wet areas (i.e.Durorock ) This would go over your wall water proofing membrane.

BeautifulRemodel.com Hi Rainy44, As S. Thomas has correctly pointed out, you'l need to create a slope for the new curb-less shower drain. In our area local bldg code requires that we create a 1/4" PF slope to the drain, so the only way we can realistically do that is to remove the existing slab. See the attached photos which show the demo'ed slab, new sub-slope concrete and finished floor. Its a lot of work but creates a great finished product.

The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn Yes it is a flip up teak shower bench. It was purchased by the homeowner online. They are fairly easy to find via Google search. Good luck!

Quality Bath Yes this is the Duravit Starck 3 Wall Mounted Toilet- http://www.qualitybath.com/product~name~Duravit+D19042~ID~85434.htm

Carolyn Zierke you will need a 2x6 wall...we just installed 2 of them in our new home, and I had to fir out the wall.

The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn These are actually from Dal Tile. The same tile is used on the floor but in a darker color and smaller size for safety and to help with the slope for the drain.

iwaymark Thank you.

The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn This is a Kohler sink

K.O.H. Construction Corporation We have a customer that has a 150 year old log cabin that we're putting a master suite and ensuite. The addition will be a mix of modern elemants on the interior. I may gets some arguments here but, Delta make a doorless unit that measures 4' x 5'.
The pan slopes inward to the drain. This unit has been installed many time and customers like it. This customer asked about the spashing issue and my answer was, Yes, you will get a little water on the floor but knowing you and your wife it won't be there long. The point is a little water won't hurt, just wipe it up.

Creative Ceramic & Marble The only thing I don't like about the prefab units is the drain had better be located exactly right or there will be a problem. As for the water on the floor, what I usually do for my "curbless customers" is even in bathrooms where it won't be a "wetroom" per se, I'll still waterproof well out into the bathroom from the shower's edge,, just to make sure that no water will get under the shower's membrane or ruin the substrate under the tile in the bathroom itself.
