## Community Q&A

**Q: UK Faucet in Canada** *(in Plumbing)*

I am in love with this polished nickel faucet from Lusso however I am in Canada and it is made in the UK. I am concerned I will have issues getting it connected here. Has anyone in Canada (maybe the US too, I think we have the same standard connections) installed a faucet from the UK or another country and how difficult/expensive was it to get installed? Pic because it's pretty.

A: UK (and European) faucet connections are fundamentally different from Canadian /U.S. connections. If you are trying to swap faucets between the two regions, they will not work out of the box and will require adapters.
The main differences across the Atlantic involve the thread standards and the supply line fittings:
1\. Thread Standards: Canada uses NPS (National Pipe Straight) or NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads,. The UK relies on BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads, which are a different thread pitch. 
You cannot usually find NPT-to-BSP adapters at standard hardware stores like Home Depot or B&Q. To make a UK faucet work in the US, or vice versa, you will need to purchase specific brass adapter fittings (such as a  3/7" US female compression to \\1/2" BSP male)
2\. Supply Line Fittings: Canadian faucets generally use 3/8" compression fittings to connect to the water supply valves under the sink. UK and European plumbing systems typically use 1/2" BSP (also known as G thread) connectors.
3\. Testing and Certification: UK faucets are required to meet the standards specified by Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS). These are quite different from joint U.S./Canadian standards. So, even if installing U.K. faucet int he Canada. were possible, it would be illegal and most plumbers will not install it.
What I would do is telephone the company to find out if they make the faucet to Canadian standards. Some U.K. companies do. If so, ask where in Canada you can buy one.

**Q: Tile Edge Detail** *(in Remodeling)*

Here is the shower tile edge detail in room 473 of the Tremont Hotel in Galveston, Texas and I really like it. It may be Schluter, I don't know. 

You can argue the contrast, but a color matching the grout may be less stark and more to your taste. White would work too.

This is so much faster and less expensive than mitering the tile and is much more functional. This edge may survive a whack, mitered not so much.

A: Schluter is not suited to all installs. 
In heritage remodels we seldom use anything but its underlay products. I would not even attempt a shower these days without Schluter, having no fond memories of the old ways of building a shower bed.
We use Schluter  where it works and not where it does not work, and I expect most remodlers do the same.

**Q: Covered Patio dilemma** *(in Landscape Design)*

I have a patio at the rear of my house that stretches from one side of the house to the other (approx. 50 ft wide x 10 - 15 ft deep). Approximately in the center, the house juts out (on the first floor only) that has a roof (this is a trapezoid shape approx. 5 feet deep x 15 ft long). This is complicating being able to just put a straight forward roof right across the rear of the house to cover the patio. Any ideas??

A: You inquiry is more likely to be answered if you post a few images of the area.

**Q: Faucet size recommendation** *(in Plumbing)*

My bathroom vanity sink is EXTREMELY shallow; 3.5 inches deep. I’d like to be really thoughtful about the size and dimensions of the faucet to try and avoid excessive splashing. I’ve heard low arc faucets are good. Any other measurements to be aware of? Is the water supposed to hit at a specific spot? Right in front of the drain hole or directly on top of the drain hole?

A: Aerated or laminar water streams are unlikely to splash. However, spout reach is important. Measure from center of the the mounting hold to the cent of the drain. That is your spout reach. buy a faucet with that reach and you should be fine.
But the very best solution is to have your plumber approve your purchase. Plumbers are very smart about such things.

**Q: Tile size and type for small bathroom** *(in Bathrooms)*

Hi, trying again with more info and better questions. 

I need guidance around shower and floor tile for a very small bathroom. We have a tub/shower combo and plan to do plain white subway tiles up to the ceiling. I am not going for trendy, so should I just do 3x6 tiles? They would just be on the wall, not the tub surround. Should I go a bit bigger? 

I am really stuck on the floor. The floor space is 4' x 5.5' (not counting the tub) and we will have a 30" wide vanity. While I visually like the idea of small hex, penny tile, or something like that, I am concerned about having that much grout. If I do a larger format tile, should I do rectangular? Should the proportions be the same as the shower tile (not the size, but the proportions)?  Or would something like the pictures below look good?

The vanity is a warm medium blue, the walls will be a warm light blue, and the fixtures will be ORB. Our house is an American 4-square that is around 110 years old. Almost all of the walls are painted BM Snowfall White (including the hallway outside the bathroom), and the color scheme is warm blues, rust, and green. The carpet runner just outside the bathroom is a warm med-dark blue, textured but not patterned.

A: Grout is not the problem is once was, so go ahead with hex, especially if its fits the era of your house. Just use urethane grout to avoid the usual grout problems. If you are doing it yourself, read and follow the grout instructions. Urethane does not go down like traditional cementiuous grout, and usually needs more curing time.
Its advantage is that it is essential a plastic and does not collect grim.
As far as you aesthetic choices, pick what you like. There is no need for outside endorsement of your decor choices.

**Q: Questions on bathroom remodel** *(in Bathrooms)*

I had some questions on remodeling a bathroom, specifically on what to do with the window.
The plan is to remove the tub and make a larger shower.   What are the options for the large window?  This is actually for a friend so don’t have any dimensions at the moment.   My thoughts were to make the window smaller (half the width it is now) but then that throws the top window off.   She is on a tight budget so trying to figure out the best way to do this.  She does need a window because there is no ventilation in that bathroom.

A: There is a code problem with some of these suggestions, specifically: 
 If the tub or shower surround has glass windows or walls, the glazing  must be tempered glass or approved equal when the bottom edge of glazing  is less than 60" above any standing or walking surface. (IRC R 308.4.5) 
See The Illustrated Rules of Good Bathroom Design, Guideline 15.
Our solution is to replace the window with one that has a fiberglass (preferred) or vinyl frame (because a wood frame will rot in a shower) and tempered glass.
The existing window is probably grandfathered and safe from code enforcement, However any change is going to require code compliance, e.g. tempered glass. Plus, tempered glass just makes common sense. It's too easy to put an elbow through the glass when showering, especially with a trip or slip. More adventure, I suspect, than your friend really wants.
