consideration with these special fixtures. Because of how these toilets
drain, if you ever change your mind and opt for a floor-mounted unit,
you’ll have to rework the supply.
A window in the shower. This is a great feature if done properly. Some
things to consider: Choose a frosted-glass panel for privacy and
preferably one that opens for fresh air. Next, ensure that there are stone
jambs along the entire installation so that this area is watertight. Also,
ensure that the sill gets sloped down and away for proper drainage.
Lastly, I always specify a tilt-and-turn window in a shower, because the
screen is located on the outside of the window; the handles are plastic,
so they won’t rust; and the window provides full privacy even when
tilted open.
Shower sills. Like the windowsill, what’s important here is that it is
sloped properly into the shower. Try to choose a material that is solid,
like stone or quartz. If you tile your shower curb, water can sit on the
grout lines and eventually seep through to the framing.
