Curtain Room Dividers

Curtain dividers can be used in many ways. Young teenage girls generally prefer to use them to add a sense of style to their rooms, while at the same time creating a more private space for "hanging out." On a larger scale, businesses use large vinyl curtains to separate certain portions of a large room or to partition off areas for other uses.

If you have young children, you will see the usefulness of curtain room dividers. Young children generally do not like sharing their room. By using curtain dividers, you can create a border that will create a defined space for each child. This small gesture will go far in quieting the complaints of your children.

Shower Curtains: The Perfect Facelift for Your Bathroom

If you are Tired of cleaning up your shower enclosure--and anyone that has been forced to combat soap scum before is likely darn Tired of it--will find shower curtains to be an effective solution to this issue. Shower enclosures, as well as shower curtains, accumulated humidity and, after a while, they become ugly. The difference is that changing shower curtains costs almost nothing compared to changing a glass or acrylic shower enclosure.

Sometimes people dismiss shower curtains as being cheap and generic, but when you consider the wide variety of styles and price tiers you'll find that curtains are hardly limited to cheap white vinyl curtains. If you have children, you can choose a nice shower curtain with dolphins, little Fish or funny ducks printed on it, or you can go with more "formal" designs, likegeometric patterns or lines. You can even choose a loud color to make your festive bathroom!

Bathroom shower curtains are made of different types of washable fabrics, including polyester, plastic and even cotton. Most of them have a weight attached at its bottom to avoid the "shower curtain effect" (which is the effect of the curtain unpleasantly wrinkling de-formation and/or sticking to your leg when you take a shower). Most shower curtains are also waterproofed, and it is also possible to attach an waterproof liner to your shower curtain if you're using a fabric curtain.

Another advanTAGe of the use of shower curtains in your bathroom is that they don't need you to drill any holes onyour walls: just get a spring loaded rod, adjust its size to fit between two walls and suspend your curtain from it by using hooks or rings. This ease of installation also saves you money by allowing you to do it by yourself rather than paying someone to install it.

Dots, stripes, waves, animals and many other designs are available, ensuring you will find shower curtains that fit virtually every need, even if your design preferences can be considered unique or offbeat. Nautical themed curtains as well as the old standby, known as the rubber ducky are very popular, but nowadays you can find every design you like; I have even seen shower curtains featuring Mexican hats! And, if you are really specific, you could look into having a> curtain custom designed specifically for you. Wait no more, and provide an exciting new look to your bathroom with new showercurtains!

Process of Installing a Stand Up Shower

Whether replacing an inconvenient and little-used bathtub, or adding a facility in a previously un-plumbed area, installing a stand up shower is one of the simplest and easiest projects the home restorer can take on. The process is straight-forward and the minimal expense. All the big-box Home Stores have everything you will need for the Job.

If a tub is being replaced, the old one needs to be removed, along with the subflooring which will undoubtedly be damaged and infected with mold from water getting past the caulking around the tub. This is a good time to put a new floor, vinyl or tile in the bathroom; half of the work is already done. You can use the existing plumbing, with some modification, when a tub is replaced. If it is a stand up shower in a newlocation, drain pipe and the hot and cold water pipes will have to be run to the room. In most jurisdictions a licensed plumber will have to do this part of the Job, and an inspector brought in to sign off on it.

Once the new subfloor is installed, and the necessary drywall replaced, the shower tray can be installed. The method of installation varies with the tray design. Some will require a ceMent or mortar base underneath the tray, some are strong enough to sit directly on the floor without flexing. Almost all require the use of a mastic as a final step to keep the tray from moving around. A standup shower needs to be able to bear the weight of any person without flexing and breaking the caulk bead.

The caulk bead is the most important part of any bathinstallation. Great care taken now, at the installation of the standup shower, will make future repAirs unnecessary. Care must also be taken in the caulking around the shower controls. They are designed to stay dry inside if they are installed correctly, so these are some instructions that really need to be read carefully.

If the space available for the shower is larger than the shower pan that is selected, then some creative carpentry and tilework can be used to enhance the usefulness of the installation. One popular choice is to frame up a bench or seat that can be tiled to match the rest of the room, rendering the standup shower also a sit-down shower, for those who need one.

Tiling a Shower Stall Starts with a Shower Pan

The most important feature in a ceramic tile shower stall is the shower pan. The shower pan channels water to the drain and prevents the shower from leaking. Consequently it is critical that the shower pan be installed correctly and that it is waterproof and durable.

The shower pan is actually a mortar bed consisting of a flexible shower pan liner sandwiched between two layers of mortar. The shower stall walls are framed with 2 x 4 studding and faced with some type of backerboard underlayMent designed for receiving ceramic tile.

The installation of a shower pan starts with the spreading of a layer of mortar. The mortar needs to be slopedproperly to enable water to run off towards the drain. The flexible plastic shower pan membrane liner is then installed on top of the sloped mortar bed.

The shower pan membrane liner should be cut to size and hand molded into the shower base.

Note: The shower pan should be cut to size such that several extra inches of shower pan material can be run up the shower stall side walls to enable the shower pan to be secured with nails to the studs. Also, the shower pan should be installed prior to the installation of backerboard on the shower walls.

After the shower pan membrane is secured, the second layer of mortar should be installed in the base of the shower, again maintaining the slopeof the mortar towards the drain.

Once the shower pan mortar bed has set up, you can install the backerboard to the walls and begin to install the ceramic tiles.

Start the installation of tiles in the center of the shower pan area and work your way outwards.

Next, install ceramic tiles on the walls. Use a plumb line to run straight lines down the length of the walls. Position the plumb line at the ceiling and centered on a wall. Snap the line, so that you have a vertical line running the length of the wall.

Next, Install your tiles outwards from the line toward the edges of the wall. Repeat this process for all the walls.

For tile cutting, a wet saw works best, as you can obtain very accurate cuts and minimize ceramic tile waste.

Afterthe ceramic tile has had 24-48 hours to set up, can then be applied grout to the tile.

Finally a sealer should be used on the grout to minimize moisture seeping through the grout lines.
