Photo: wayfair.com The shower pan is an unsung hero in cramped bathing quarters that rely on a walk-in shower instead of a full-size bathtub. Its role? Protecting your subfloor from water damage by aiding drainage. This waterproof floor covering —often made of fiberglass, acrylic, or tile—slopes just enough to direct water toward the drain in the floor, thus eliminating most problems caused by lingering water, from mold and mildew growth to structural issues like wood rot. Whether you’re remodeling a bathroom to include a shower pan where none existed before or replacing one that’s seen its day, basic plumbing skills and a free weekend are all you need when learning how to install a shower pan. Why Switch to a Shower? Many homeowners choose a shower (and thus a shower pan, because you can’t have one without the other) over a bathtub when renovating in order to increase the available floor space and make the bathroom feel larger . Walk-in showers tend to be sleeker in style than boxy ...

June 18, 2005 | By Allison E. Beatty, Special to the Tribune Do you love to lounge in a hot, bubbling bathtub or would you prefer to let invigorating shower jets help get the day started? 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 ...

Whether you are upgrading your existing shower stall or adding a new one, you have many options. Consider whether this will be a daily use shower stall or one designed for occasional guests. The size and overall design of your bathroom will also play a role in what your shower stall looks like, but don't limit yourself until you've checked out all your options. Walk-in Shower For small bathrooms, designing a walk-in shower stall can make great use of existing space. For larger baths, it can keep the room feeling open and expansive. Design the entire bathroom floor in nonslip tile that slopes slightly toward the shower drain, then tile the walls around one end or corner of the bathroom up to at least 6 feet high for your shower area. If your bathroom is large, you can simply let the shower spray fall freely or place a water- resistant folding screen between the shower and other parts of the room for privacy. For smaller baths, hang a curtain to block the shower spray from ...

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...
