  • Convenient Storage for Soap and ShampooSolid Surface Durability with Convenient Storage for Soap and Shampoo
  • ebuild (6/12/2007)
  • Swanstone makes a bathtub or shower more convenient with a combination solid surface soap dish and shelf for shampoo and other toiletries. The clean, recessed look and maintenance-free design will not rust, crack or chip like other materials. The 22-1/4-inch by 15-inch unit is available in 33 colors to match Swanstone bath tub walls, shower walls and shower floors. The two-shelf unit fits within a standard wall stud pocket and features one shelf tall enough to accommodate large bottles. Molded-in runoff channels prevent soapy water from pooling, and the solid surface inhibits the growth of mold and mildew.

  • ebuild Guide to Shower Enclosure Specifications
  • ebuild (1/2/2007)
  • Shower enclosures come in several different configurations, but many are designed to fit into a corner. This space-efficient orientation serves as an alternative to a tub/shower unit in small bathrooms, though it can also complement larger baths. The enclosure itself consists of two glazed side panels and a glazed door, and takes advantage of the two intersecting walls to serve as the back of the enclosure. Back walls may be covered with any suitable waterproof finish material, including ceramic tile or solid surfacing. The enclosure is typically mounted on a prefabricated shower pan, sometimes called a tray, which serves as its foundation. It may also be installed atop a site-fabricated curb. In some cases, the manufacturer supplies side panels, door, and all the associated pieces of trim needed to install the enclosure, but does not supply the pan. In the case of shower enclosure "kits," the pan is also included.
