A: It's a Cardinal shower door w/ surface applied grids. **Q: Bathrooms That Work (Safely) for Everyone** *(in Design Dilemma)* The bathroom may be the most important room in the home - and it's one of the most intimate. The bathroom is also one of the most dangerous rooms in the home. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 22 million Americans are injured in their bathrooms each year, most from falls. As you look to build or remodel your own bathroom, here are a few tips on how you can have a safer bathroom without skimping on style. Entrance Photo courtesy of Beth Tauke A 36-inch (or more) wide entrance is essential. Choose lever-handled door hardware that can be opened with an elbow when hands are wet and unlocked from both sides in case someone inside needs help. Space to Maneuver Photo courtesy of Susanne Tauke A 60-inch radius in the main lavatory and 36-inch widths for any space that contains a toilet should provide the necessary room most bodies need to move around. Lighting Photo courtesy of Beth Tauke The rule of thumb for bathroom lighting is up, down and all around. Toilet, shower and tub areas are usually under lit. Use at least five sources of lighting: ambient, daylight, bathing area task lighting, vanity area task lighting and a set of safety lights. And remember to install ground fault circuit interrupters on all outlets, switches and light fixtures. Grab Bars Photo courtesy of Susanne Tauke Grab bars help keep their balance preventing falls from occurring. During construction, install blocking for grab bars around the toilet, tub and shower to ensure that the bars will hold the person's weight. The bars can double as towel racks, clothing bars and drying lines. For a streamlined effect, consider a continuous bar that unobtrusively wraps around the entire room. No-Step Shower Photo courtesy of Beth Tauke A no-step shower reduces the risk of tripping and falling. Have your builder/remodeler install a sub-floor pan during the construction phase and consider a single sloped floor with a trench drain that angles away from the shower opening. This helps keep the floor dry. Right-Height Sinks Photo courtesy of Susanne Tauke Is there a way for a three year-old toddler and a 6'6" basketball star to easily use the sink? There are lots of options. Multiple height or adjustable height sinks are two of the best. In lieu of that, match the sink heights to the occupants' heights or provide a safe step stool for children. Multi-sensory Water Temperature ControlsPhoto courtesy of Beth Tauke Hot water can burn skin, especially in the shower or tub. Select anti-scald, pressure balancing faucets that allow one to set the maximum temperature. And use lever faucet handles, so the water can be turned off easily and quickly. Benches Photo courtesy of Susanne Tauke Benches are not a bathroom luxury - they are a basic. If there is a tub, install a transfer bench behind it for easy entry. A shower bench (preferably built-in), vanity seating and a place to sit and towel off also increase safety. Storage Photo courtesy of Susanne Tauke Build shower storage alcoves at several levels to make shampoo and soap readily available. Position towel storage close to the shower. Consider placing built-in storage behind full-length mirrors to eliminate the need to reach for toiletries above the vanity sink. Mirrors Photo courtesy of Susanne Tauke More mirrors make a bath more user-friendly. A full-length mirror for a head-to-toe check, a lit-magnifier for face check and an adjustable tri-fold vanity mirror for an all-around check help one leave the bath ready to face the world.

A: Right height sinks are an interesting option, but I'd like to see something a little more attractive happen with the mirrors. Perhaps standoffs could add a interesting look that might offset the awkwardness of mounting different length mirrors next to one another. **Q: floor to ceiling glass** *(in Photo Questions)* seems to me this application would make for a very steamy shower. i would prefer the moist air to escape. planning on a frameless enclosure. any knowledge would be welcome. A: Happy to help. I don't think steam would be a problem if you open the movable panel open however, there are a couple of ways you could get more air exchanged if desired. One would be to lower the entire height of all the glass to around 80". This could be achieved using a header or special hinges on the side panel. Another would be to leave the movable panel off and just lower the height of the door to around 76". Let me know if you have any further questions. **Q: POLL: Have you remodeled a master bath?** *(in Polls)* Have you remodeled a master bath before? If so, what did you learn? VOTE and share your best tips in the comments! A: Do your research before hiring a contractor! Talk to friends, ask for references, look at Houzz reviews. **Q: Tile or what for top of shower bench and knee wall?** *(in Bathrooms)* We are remodeling our master bath and will have a shower with a curb around 47 1/4 inch long. It is highly recommend by glass shower enclosure places that the curb sill not have any grout lines. They said the knee wall top would be better with no grout lines, but that it should be "ok" if it has them. We were going to put ceramic tile on the top of the 36'" W x 16" deep bench and tile the top of the knee wall but now thinking of putting quartz or granite slab (3/4" deep is extra cost but 1 1/4" seems heavy) on the curb sill, top of bench, top of knee wall, and then the sill of our niche. This of course adds a lot of money. Or we could find a longer travertine threshold piece for the curb sill and just ceramic tile everything else. What do you think? A: A curb and knee wall without grout line would be optimal, but it certainly isn't imperative to preventing leakage. Having the proper pitch to these surfaces (roughly 1/4" decline towards interior) is far more essential. **Q: Where can I find mirror-finish H channel for joining 2 panels together** *(in Photo Questions)* I have been looking for glass and mirror hardware so that I can purchase tracks to frame my mirror. The large one broke, so I want to join 2 tall but narrower mirrors together with a mirror-finish H or even a mirror-finish plan flat bar that I could attach between the two mirrors to give the appearance of one larger mirror. Can you tell me where I could find mirror-finish pieces such as these? I did find one 5/8-inch 12' J mold (which I bought) and the display said "made in America by A.G." but no one could tell me the name of the company. A: Hi Ka. We do sell j-bar and flat metal. What metal finish are you looking for? I think flat metal with silicon is the best way to go to cover the seam between the two mirrors, if that's what you'd like to do.
