Bath Shower Home Design

Whether you use it in the bath or in the shower, most of us wash using shower gel or bubble bath every day. Particularly in the winter months, nothing could be nicer than settling back in a tub overflowing with soothing soapy suds . But when the average bottle of shower gel costs less than £2, it begs the question: what are you really putting onto your skin? Effervescent bath products have been around for an extremely long time , with the first fizzing bath salts appearing in the early 20th Century . Early bubble bath was made using soap flakes but by the mid-1930s, surfactants had arrived. Surfactants are a chemical compound, mostly made from synthetic materials (although some are derived from palm or coconut oils), which are usually found in industrial detergents, washing power and latterly, bath products. One commonly held misconception about bath and shower gel is that it is little more than a runny type of soap. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Not only are cheap sho...

I had just finished showering and turned off the water. Soaking wet, I did what millions of Americans do every day -- I reached for my snazzy sliding glass shower door . Seconds later, glass was raining down on me. The door had failed somehow and exploded into a million little pieces. The sound was hideous, something between nails on a chalkboard and a torrential downpour. Only this didn't make me wet, it made me bloody. This was the grisly scene in my bathroom after a shower door exploded on me while I showered. I bled substantially from a wound on my right foot and had to walk on glass to get out. Glass shower doors are a substantial upgrade from old, mold- magnet plastic shower curtains found in many older homes. They look great. They let ambient light into the shower and make the bathroom look larger. If you have fancy tile rimming your tub, they show that off. The aesthetics come with a cost however, as I recently learned the hard way: Glass shower and tub enclosures ca...

The CharliChair 2-in-1.  Photo: Supplied Many of us know that bathing a baby can be backbreaking work, and the more babies you have, the more strain bath time can put on your back. Kneeling on tiles and bending over bath edges can really take their toll on us. Meray Yassa discovered she was experiencing a lot of back pain by the time her third child Charli-Rose came along, so she decided to invent a shower chair for babies and toddlers, to preserve back health of parents. "I was fine bathing my first two babies but after my third, Charli-Rose, came along I found that I was hurting my back bending over to give her a bath," said the mum, who appeared on Shark Tank with her new invention.  "When I couldn't find a similar product anywhere I said to my husband let's invent something, so the CharliChair was born. "I call it my fourth baby." The second incarnation of the chair has just been released - the CharliChair 2-in-1, which features a bath attachmen...

Several months ago I was in the Chicagolandarea to give a talk to an NKBA gathering. While there, I visited several wholesaler showrooms. One of them absolutely knocked my socks off! Over the years I have visited several-hundred showrooms across America and Canada. I’ve seen the good, the not so good and everything between. When I drove up to, walked into and walked through the Studio 41 showroom in the Chicago north suburb of Highland Park , Ill., I knew I was in one of the best showrooms I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. My good friend, Bob Lando , who recently retired from Community Home Supply in Chicago, was my tour guide for the day. His daughter, Abbey Wagner , a sales consultant at Studio 41, was our very capable guide through the showroom. I certainly had heard of Studio 41and knew the same company was operating three of the new Kohler Signature showrooms , but I wasn’t aware of how well-done and well-marketed these showrooms were. Let’s start with a brief histo...

By Matt Weber Each year, professional remodelers and building- product suppliers put their heads together at the Remodeling Show/Deck Expo, where new tools and materials get a showcase and the craftsman that use them get a chance to offer face-to-face feedback. The Extreme How-To staff will be exhibiting at the convention this year in Nashville, TN, so if you make the trip, stop by booth 525 and say hello. In the meantime, here’s a preview of products that will be on display. Deckorators Heritage Decking Two new Deckorators Heritage deck boards bring interior design to outdoor living . Heritage Riverhouse and Heritage Smokehouse composite decking feature detailed embossing that offers the rustic look and feel of distressed wood flooring . The innovative embossing process creates a pattern that does not repeat for at least 12 feet, meaning boards are not only full of rich character, they are also unique. Riverhouse (brown) and Smokehouse (gray) are available in 12-, 16- and 20-ft....
