And then there are the fees to pay to the above mentioned AMTs. That probably costs more than this guy paid for his whole build... German bureaucracy... Keeps the whole country afloat.

    I build custom showers all the time for customers. Everyone wants huge showers like they see on pintrest. One thing I always tell them is the bigger the shower the more tile you have to clean. The last couple I have done are with 24x48" gloss porcelain tile. Way less grout lines and the gloss tile is easy to wipe clean. Small tile looks great but its a ton of scrubbing to keep the grout clean.

      Tatiana Nicole I also would have just put in a smaller window. But I don’t think you’d really see anything distinctive when you’re looking from a distance. Those pictures were all within like 4 feet of the glass. And they’re wearing clothes, which only make it more obvious. From 15 feet away it’s like a giant blob of skin color.

The Privacy Window film is great because on one side there is a Mirror efect and on the other side you can see pretty good. It is the same efect as you would get while wearing sunglasses. The Frosted glass film is also great but you can not see out of the film or wrap itself but there are different types of frosted glass films so you can look which one looks the best.

    I give you alot of credit for tackling this job.
    I do this for a living and there are few things in the floor and curb that are wrong.
    Wire lath and tar paper gets installed first wire lath attaches cement to wood and reinforced the layer of cement.
    The cement on the curb should have wire lath in it as well.
    Never installed a niche on the floor. Your looking for water penetration problems down the road.
    Any shower over 65 sq ft requires wire lath in the top layer of cement you stick the floor tile to.
    1/4 per foot is code for the pre pitch under the liner and as well as the cement on top of the liner.
    Cement on liner should be at least 1-1/4 thick no thinner.
    No reason for pressure treated wood if it leaks you messed up the water proof and the entire shower will be ruined.
    Drilling into the curb possibly compromised the liner.

      No. As with anything everyone has a slightly different way to do things and if I had to guess the guy making the comment hasn’t done tile in 20+ years. Also for context I’m a tile contractor. The way this guy did it isn’t how I go about it but I really didn’t see anything too horrible with it and would guess it’s probably fine. A few things I would change about what he did is IMO don’t put wood anywhere in a shower. When we do benches we use foam which you can either purchase from tile stores or for something more unique or large we have a foam company make a custom bench. The way he created the curb of the shower wasn’t a bad way because he did install mortar around it but the way we do it is form out the curb and pour it with the pan running through the middle of the concrete which is easier than the way he did it. What the previous guy said no one in the industry, at least where I am ever uses lathe in a shower. They use a way similar to this or they use a kerdi membrane. I this this shower will be fine at least for the foreseeable future. Only point that is correct is that drilling through the top of the curb is a potential fail point, but if he had poured the curb it wouldn’t have mattered. Also a heads up if you do a shower for the first time please do a pan test which is where you cap the drain and fill the pan with water. Leave it overnight and if you still have water in the morning your pan doesn’t have an issue. It’s an easy step that gives you peace of mind and can save a lot of heart ache.

    • @honkyhankch1987
      @honkyhankch1987 4 роки тому +6

      I would do exactly what he did. The difference is instead of pressure treated wood wrapped in the shower pan, the way I do it there’s nothing but concrete with the pan in the middle of the concrete. So drilling into it your just hitting concrete.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea but the room is going to look terribly dated and will be redone LONG before enough water could get through the concrete board...that is assuming that you properly seal the grout. Properly sealed grout is your first and best defense against moisture.

    Pretty nice job overall - one issue is that it looks like you didn't cut the first row of tiles to match the drain slope of your floor, so the slightly lower part in the middle shows up as a slight sag all the way up to your window sill. With the tiling pattern you chose to do do, even small errors in those horizontal grout lines show up more than you want in the final product. I think it is easier to hide mistakes with a typical overlapping subway tile style layout because you don't have 4-way intersections in the grout lines.

    @ericfry2128 4 роки тому +10

    Everything was spot on except one major flaw. As being a tile guy for 20+ years the only main step you missed was installing the floor of the shower (tile) before the walls. This insures the water running onto the floor and not the joint where the floor and walls meet. Think of it as a waterfall, the longer the water runs into dirt instead of rocks the more erosion will take place. Have to think the same on showers. It will take 3-5 years before you start noticing but the outside layer of floor tile in the shower floor will start to come up because there is water getting between and under due to the tile being ran to the wall rather than under. Just a heads up but everything else looks amazing.
    Also another step I like to use especially when installing glass is going to your local Lowe’s or Home Depot etc. and custom ordering the pieces for the step over into the shower. They have tons of colors and finishes that definitely makes the showers pop. You can also order with beveling and they are cut to install without you cutting after getting. I always do the trim in the soap dishes and around windows and benches as well to give it a nice feel. It is inexpensive pending on color finish and size and creates a flat surface for the glass to sit on with no grout lines. Other than that, you could start your own tile business and make about $4-8,000 pending on what state and area you live in around doing a shower like this. You have the skill. Hope the shower still is awesome and good luck

    My husband built one like this some twenty years ago. It actually saved us money as all our kids (4)
    could use the shower at once. The coolest feature was the upward water spray and side pulse water.
    To top it off it had a nice sunroof and a sun lamp for winter chills and to save money a
    controlled timer for a ten minute timed shower to control water use. The kids loved it and still
    talk about how much they miss the old house and that one of a kind shower. Be creative and have fun as
    a great shower is a fantastic thing to have in your home. Watch out though, a big shower leads to crazyness
    as on more than one occasion the kids put our Golden Retriever in the shower with them - great fun for the dog and
    the kids but getting the hair out of the drain was not fun.

    That shower is awesome. I'm on slab instead of a subfloor so it's a lot more difficult for me to relocate drains and stuff, but I'd like to try something like this. I don't think I'd use shark bite fittings for anything that goes inside the walls or ceiling though. They rely on rubber o-rings* and are more likely to fail than a crimp fitting.
