Love to hear your suggestions. I'm about to replace my counter tops and backsplash. Need to know if I should extend my new backsplash above the cabinets. Too much or would it be a wow factor? A: The only time I would tile above the cabinets is for a range hood. The one problem you would end up with is where to stop the tile, unless you have definitive stopping point (IE) corner or window. The focal point is the backsplash it may be to much if the tile was extended above the cabinets. **Q: bathroom counter stain** *(in Cleaning Tips)* My master bathroom counter, which I’m not sure what the material is - maybe cultured marble, has a yellow stain from a tray that I have my essentials on. Does anyone know how to get the stain out? Thanks! A: I can't tell what the material is. if it is marble they make a product calls poultice powder. some times it works. the stain looks odd what was sitting there? **Q: Open Walk In Shower** *(in Design Dilemma)* Planning a new house and want an open, walk in shower in the master bath. Wondering about the "cold draft" factor since there is no door or shower curtain. Approximate size is 8' x 4' with the opening at the far corner of the 8' end. Do we need to take most or all of the walls to the ceiling to help with this? Can anyone tell me how bad the draft is on a shower with no door on one end? A: I put in a lot of showers with no doors. When the shower is on it creates a higher pressure in the shower which actually forces the air out of the shower so you really do not have a draft entering the shower. **Q: Need help with master shower designs** *(in Bathrooms)* We are debating master shower designs which involves the triangle at the top. The triangle has a base of 9 ft and a height of 5 feet. The ceiling is 10 ft. We are on pier and beam so plumbing is easily accessible. Option 1: Put a wall of glass along the base with a frameless door on the left side. The shower plumbing would run between the two windows in the corner, pointing spray away from the windows. The controls would be by the door. Option 2: put a wall in the middle of the base about 3 ft wide either to the ceiling or only partway. The shower head would be in that wall (where plumbing is now) and point towards windows. Either side of the wall would be open. I prefer option one as a wall of glass would allow us to see the great view from the bathroom and the water is spraying away from the windows. The wall is what our designer suggested and to me blocks the view except from inside the shower. A: Laticrete has come out with a new system like Schluter Kerdi system. https://laticrete.com/en/our-products/shower-installation-systems/pre-formed-shower-systems I am installing it in a bathroom remodel. If you use the products they spec. Laticrete will give you a lifetime warranty. It is something maybe you should look at. With a window in the shower you definitely have to seal up to the jamb. If those are casement windows I would remove the jamb and install a solid surface material in its place. Anything to remove the wood from the shower. If you want to mount the shower head on the glass this can be done to. https://www.efaucets.com/nav/ct1/showersystem/0 You would have to ask your shower door company. I know that you can mount the shower column on the glass. You can also look into and outside shower column. The plumbing can come up from the floor with do need to build a knee wall. https://goo.gl/images/jQMvyz I hope this helps. **Q: Marble floors etched/damaged by concrete cleaner** *(in Cleaning Tips)* We installed carrara marble floors in our new master bathroom. Tile company came back for some routine punch-out work - stuff like grout/caulk touch ups from the house settling, etc. One of the items they had to fix was removing some left over pencil marks on the tile from the original measuring/cutting process - we were unable to get it out with soap/water or an eraser, so we figured the tile installers would have some trick. Turns out their trick was to use a solution designed for a solution designed as a pre-grind cleaner/etcher for CONCRETE surfaces. The specified application is to prep a concrete surface to accept stain. I actually caught them using it - when they poured the solution on to the marble, it actually reacted and started foaming up like you'd see when you mix baking soda with vinegar for that gradeschool science experiment. We now have big, thick lines and blobs where the marble is very dull - quite noticeable just walking on it if you look down at all. I guess it sort of qualifies as etching, but from a very different source than normal cleaning products, spilled juice, etc. What's our remedy here? Is there a way to even things out so these giant lines/splotches are less apparent? I don't particularly mind some variation in our floors - we knew marble would kind of wear in over time - but we were hoping to kind of organically get some wear patterns in, not have striking differences and harsh lines all across the floor. I'm also not sure if this solution would have eaten away at some spots which would make them more susceptible to holding dirt/stains/mildew/whatever vs. the smoother/shinier surfaces. Our GC is being as helpful as he can, but this is now the second or third time the tile installer has messed up warranty service. If we even allow them to come back, I want to have an understanding of what's actually a good idea vs. what they might be trying to do just to cover things up enough for them to exit the project. Help! A: I am sorry to hear about your marble floor. Etching from chemicals can be remedied. You will need to find a professional stone restoration company. One process is called Recrtstaization. It is a chemical that is sprayed on the marble and buffed of with a floor buffer. this will not remove any scratches or imperfections in the marble surface. if you see a slight depression where the chemicals where used it will not remove it. But it will put back the finish on the marble but you might still see where the etching occurred. Another process is to have the floor ground down. this process is expensive and time consuming. with this process you will be able to remove tile lippage, scratches and bring the floor back up to its original shine. I hope this helps. **Q: Kitchen backspash glass vs ceramic subway tiles** *(in Design Dilemma)* We are doing a kitchen reno and contemplating type of tiles. I really like the look of glass and found some reasonably priced at lowes but am a bit worried about quality. They are: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Anatolia-Tile-Studio-Mist-Glass-Wall-Tile-Common-3-in-x-12-in-Actual-11-73-in-x-2-87-in/999980470 I have looked at tile stores and cannot find anything in a similar color. Is there a way to tell quality of the glass tile. Is there really that much of a difference? A: All tile has flaws. If you are looking for something that is perfect you are not going to find it. Glass is a great idea for a back splash. The glass you picked I think has a white coating on the back. Which is a plus. A lot of glass does not come like that and you can see where the installer may have missed with the setting materials when installed. Glass is very hard to cut and it does chip. So you know now some cuts may be chipped depending on the type of blade used in the wet saw. I think you picked a nice glass for the back splash and it is reasonably priced. All of this tile came from Home Depot. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-09.*
