Dear James: My house is about five years old, and there is a small leak on the ceiling under the shower stall with a ceramic tile floor . What could be causing this leak and how do I go about fixing it? — Jess N. Dear Jess: If your house is only five years old, the most likely cause of the leak is a faulty waterproof membrane under the shower. Unless you saw your house being built, you probably had no idea there even is a membrane under the shower. Poor membrane installation procedures are often the culprit. Most people think a ceramic tile is waterproof itself and that this is what blocks leaks. Although the tiles themselves will hold water, the grout between them is permeable to water. If someone takes a long shower and the tile has standing water on it for a long while, some water will get through. A ceramic tile shower stall is made by first framing the shower stall area . A tough waterproof plastic membrane is laid on the floor and sealed around the drain opening. The membrane...

Tubs are out According to the 2013 Home Design Trends Survey by The American Institute of Architects, more than 60% of homeowners preferred a stall shower without a tub. Let’s face it: soaking in a soothing hot bubble bath may sound like a great idea, but how many of us really have the time or luxury to indulge ourselves? Tubs are often a necessity for bathing small children , but when they grow up, why would you need it? Shower safety Tub-to- shower conversion s are becoming more popular with empty nesters and seniors as they view walk-in showers as a safer alternative to their bathtubs. Climbing over a bathtub wall can present a safety hazard as we age. Converting y...

BY ED DEL GRANDEHGTVPRO .COM Q: Hi, Ed. Your column is a wonderful home improvement resource and I need some information! I have a clear glass shower door (Well, it used to be clear glass) and it has mineral deposits from the water all over it. It's practically all foggy glass now! I have tried all kinds of glass cleaners and nothing seems to work. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks for your time and help. - Karla, Florida A: Karla, you are not alone; most people with clear glass shower doors complain about water spots on the shower glass. The reason is that clear glass is a very unforgiving surface for a shower door and will highlight almost every drop of water or debris on the door. That is why frosted or distorting glass is a popular choice for shower doors. A door that can hide water spots and droplets will be easier to keep clean because it tends to cover up the water spots instead of highlighting them. Plus, it will offer a little more privacy while ...

While some people clearly fall into one category or the other, many home buyers are saying "yes" to both bathroom features. Years ago, master bathrooms typically were built with either a bathtub or shower. That design has changed, however, as more and more home buyers look for the flexibility of having both a tub and shower available to them in the same room. "In higher-end homes, people still are looking for both," said Jenny Accomando LaVergne , office and showroom manager for CabinetWerks Design Studio , a kitchen and bath showroom in Lincolnshire. "They like the option of taking a nice relaxing bath or a quick shower." When selecting the layout of your bathroom, consider the amount of space you have and what type of routine you follow. In a floor plan with limited ...
