We recently completed the renovation of a bath in Fairacres to include a handicap accessible custom tile shower with no curb for barrier-free entry, a shower bench, and a hand-held shower in addition to the traditional shower head. We replaced the drafty 1950’s aluminum window with one that is very modern and energy-efficient. Selected from the Architect Series® windows by Pella®, this one featured blinds between the glass and tilt sashes for easy cleaning. The shower utilized the Schluter® Shower System which is an integrated family of products that together form a fully bonded, watertight assembly for tiled showers. The shower wall ceramic tile is white 3″ X 6″ subway tile by DalTile®. The white octagon ceramic floor tiles were installed over a SunTouch® radiant floor heating mat to provide additional warmth to cold feet on cold winter mornings. The shower door was custom made to order and is frameless. The vanity cabinet by Wellborn® is 36″ high, instead of the traditonal 30″, for easier accessibility and features a Livingstone® 100% acrylic solid surfacing vanity top.
The homeowners were very happy to have replaced their 1950’s bath with a modern “spa experience” luxury bath and are enjoying the comforts it provides. To see more pictures of this project, and many more, visit our Portfolio.
