Just waiting on shower doors,mirror and granite.

[Renaissance CI]

Spent little over 2 weeks on the bathroom

[ceramictec]

is that porcelain planks as the wood look on the walls ?

shower came out nice, wouldn't want to clean it though.

[Chad Deiter Company]

I think that's real wood some of the planks look at least 4+ feet. Who knows though

[gueuzeman]

Roy- looks great! But.... there are bevel edge, a pillowed or "woven" band, pencils and chairrails.

I would love to see closeups of the shower door install. Do you have any idea of their plans?

.

Rick- that's the L.T. "FrankenTex" system, a hydroban/hydrobarrier hybrid, no fabric at a lower cost.

The walls are engineered handscraped flooring. The customer picked out a color in the tile and it matched the flooring i was putting in another customers house. I put up a couple of pieces and she loved it.


Gueuzeman,
You think a did a little too much?
the shower glass is going to be frameless with an arched top like this bathroom i did awhile back

[jondon]

Roy,

Good work there on both those showers! Nice to see something different. Is there any pics of this shower with the framing before you put up the cement board, would like to see it framed. How did you come up with the layout, did the customer have it all picked out or did you help them? I don't think it was overdone, I see nothing but good craftsmanship and good taste and some neat curves

[gueuzeman]

No- I don't think it's overdone, I'm wondering about the mechanics of the door swing where the pencil and chair rail protrude from the plane of the wall.

It can be an issue sometimes, that's all.

Yes I am curious too. Last time I had pencil rail and chair rail in a shower install, we used side panels to eliminate the issue of the door closing. In the one you show the shower door installed, it almost looks as though the glass door was notched out so it could close, with the pencil liner there, is that how is was done or?

Actually now that I look again it looks like the pencil liner is at the same height as the tile, so not an issue, no notching of the glass doors going on there! But with chair rail that is gonna be another case, if it is frameless, you gonna use side panels or is it gonna be one door? Would be kinda cool if they could custom the glass doors to go over the chair rail, never seen that done.

[custombuilt]

notching and side panels have always been the solution for me....nice looking job.

[custombuilt]

Hey LT Nice size job you got going there, I too was working on a seat, mine was huge with two coarses wide concret blocks. Did you just fill in behind the bricks with drypack or concrete mix?

[MarkTarkus]

L.T. I'm stealing your Hydroban/Barrier hybrid idea for my next shower. Thanks. Looks like lots of fun you're having there and your son appears to be a tile prodigy.

[gueuzeman]

Mark- that last comment is a little creepy. (EDIT- reads much better now, Mark.)

L.T.- please post those pics along w/ explanations in the Frankengueuze thread.

Thanks.

[bulldog tile]

Since this is not a picture of tile or stone, I thought this would be the best place to hang these pictures. We started this house Monday. It has 8500 SF of reclaimed heart pine throughout the house - 'cept the bathrooms and of course the dog bath. The only butt joints are in the great room which is 35 ft long and the kitchen/breakfast which is 32 ft long.

The downstairs floor is 2 1/4" thick so all the baths will be mudded to match the height.

I love to work around stuff like this.

Here's a picture of the master which is 25 ft long and no butt joints:

That's gonna make a beautiful floor. Does it get finished with oil-based poly?
