PRO7 years agoHi, may I throw microcement into the mix here?
It's a wall and floor covering that is used as a tile or panel alternative or as just a decorative feature wall covering.
It requires no joins so cleaning is easier and in my opinion gives a much cleaner look.
It's also only 3mm thick so there's no need to adjust fixtures. It's versatile and can cover a wide range of substrates, even existing tiles!
Waterproof, durable and beautiful to look at.
Available in various colours and it has the appearance of stone, marble or polished concrete depending on each application.
Please have a look at these photos of our work but for more information please feel free to visit www.wallstothefloor.com
Thanks for reading and good luck with your project

Very small bathroom
Comments (5)Hi there, We're very used to designing small bathrooms (there are a lot of houses in our area with even smaller spaces!), so don't feel too phased! When planning your bathroom (especially a small one), you first need to look carefully where the waste will need to exit (and to a lesser extent, where your hot & cold water will be fed from), as this may limit your layout a little. Door position, hinge side and whether it opens in or out are also crucial! To maximise your space and make it feel lighter/airier, I'd recommend the following: Use a 1600w bath with plain glass screen and modern, chrome/stainless shower over. Add a short run of furniture with a back to wall toilet and a rectangular basin to maximise space. Mereway and Trend do some beautiful furniture in both 220mm and 320mm depths which are ideal. Add a lovely lit mirror above the basin to add a sense of space. For a little "luxury", why not ensure it has a bluetooth speaker built in so you can listen to some tunes? The difference in cost is minimal, but the benefit more than worth it! Keep all the walls completely flat (any boxing out or step-outs just highlight a small space) and use large format tiles in "landscape" orientation, picking whites/very light tones with maybe just the slightest hint of texture or pattern. Pick large format matching tiles in a slightly darker tone for the floor, or wide planked laminate flooring (such as Karndean Palioclick) designed for bathroom use. I'd pick whites or light greys for walls/floors and keep furniture plain and gloss "slab", then add just a restrained touch of colour in your fixtures/accessories. Seek out your local friendly independent bathroom showroom for lots if ideas on how to make your small bathroom work for you. Have fun!

Comments (18)We are still working on our new house, there is currently a bath with a glass half screen that is totally useless. The water bounces off whoever is showering past the screen and over the toilet, the floor, the ceiling, and it's only a half tiled wall so the wallpaper is peeling. I've considered the P or d shaped baths which give a larger section at one end in which to stand when using the shower and I've seen there are matching curved glass screens to go with them. Two points to consider. 1. If you are not planning on staying a shower could be a good selling point, the water saving of a shower versus a bath. Our last bath hardly saw a look in during 16 years and although it was a lovely deep double ended steel bath it gathered dust and the shower was definately the go-to choice. 2. I am now considering the usability of the bathroom for an elderly relative who has had a stroke, likes baths, but may not be able to get into, or out of one, with dignity intact. I'm thinking that a large walk in shower with additional wall jets could be a good option and the upscale could be a wow factor. Although you may not be in the same position you can never have enough forward planning....See MoreNeed all your help with a tiny bathroom please!
Comments (21)One possible solution. It gives you the bath and shower in one unit behind the door away from the window as well as the sink and WC of course. Admittedly a little tight on plan at the end of the shower bath but your upper body and arms would be free to move over the end of the bath and into the window recess, and your feet, whether standing or sitting, would always be in front of the WC where you have more space. The sink has plenty of space around it with room for a towel rail adjacent. The sanitary where is all taken from the Ideal Standard website but you could use any manufacturer - the point is it can be done. I would also make the glazing obscure, if it is not already, by using an after market stick on film cut to size. You can get plenty of patterns or just frosted. You could also add blinds as previously suggested. Note: any proposed layout could be affected by the proximity of your existing foul water drainage - just bear that in mind....See MoreNeed help 'styling out' black/grey bathroom
Comments (23)Hi Michael, Sorry, but I have to partially disagree with you on this, daylight colour temperature is 6500K not 4000K. Yes, 4000K is warmer than 6500K but it does not give a truer representation of colour. Colour representation is measured using the colour rendering index or CRI. The closer to 100, the closer to daylight. The Megaman LEDs are 80 CRI for each of the colour temperatures. That said, the 4000K fitting will produce a brighter and cleaner feel to the room. However, it can look too harsh at night. 2700K is closer to traditional halogen fittings. It can look duller during the day, but looks a lot more welcoming in the evening - perfect for a soak in the bath. It comes down to personal preference in the end...See More

PRO7 years agoWe have used glass in one of our properties that is rented out. So far so good ( 2 years after install ) - We used it in the kitchen between work surface and over head cupboards, behind the hob etc. We also used it in the bathroom to create bath top to ceiling height panels for shower, along the top and end of the bath.
It's exceptionally easy to clean. No grout, great!

PRO7 years agoI have used a decorative glass panel from Emma Britton -- absolutely beautiful! Not necessarily less expensive, but no grout to get dirty, and the reflective surface is great for a small room.
