One of the most desired rooms in newly built homes and in additions to existing homes is the master bath suite . A master bath suite is defined as a bathroom that is directly connected to a master bedroom . The master bath suite provides privacy because it is never accessed through common areas like kitchens or hallways. Prominent since the 1950s, but especially popular in today's modern homes, the master bath suite has truly come of age. Terry Kenney, president of the Chicago-Midwest Chapter of the National Kitchen and Bath Association , believes the master bath suite is a necessity for busy couples. "The master bath suite provides efficient use of a bathroom/closet space by providing all the necessary storage for clothing, shoes, linens and personal grooming items in one room, separate from the bedroom. Some homeowners have installed under-counter refrigeration and a coffee maker. If space allows, laundry facilities or exercise areas a...

How to Organize a Bath Safety Remodel Jul 01, 2009 Bath safety is a key element of home access. Simply put, patients of all sorts need to use the bathroom throughout the day. But for bariatric, geriatric and mobility patients, bathing can pose both frustration and safety hazards . For instance, stepping into a shower stall or tub poses the risk of falls for geriatric and bariatric patients , and for mobility patients, bathing comes with even more complications due to their mobility limitations. And if bathing complications result in reduced frequency of bathing, this can mean that a patient risks hygiene issues that can cause sores and infections. This is especially a concern with bariatric patients , who are sometimes left with sponge baths as their only real bathing options . Fortunately, HME providers are in a position to help. There is a multiplicity of bath safety offerings available to help them ensure patients of all stripes are able to bathe safely. The key is to get started...

As homeowners age, many find they no longer want to deal with climbing in and out of a tub that doubles as a shower. They hear horror stories about friends and family members who have slipped and fallen during this daily chore and don't want the same fate to befall them. Younger homeowners, too, are choosing to get rid of their old tubs, preferring to enjoy a walk-in shower. Few have the time or inclination to enjoy a lengthy soak, so why take the chance on a tub/shower combination when they just want to take a shower? Bath Planet of Chicagoland, based in Streamwood, has been the solution for many. They offer stylish, cost-effective, low- maintenance acrylic bath improvements that are also made locally -- in Palatine. Many Bath Planet products install right over existing chipped or faded tubs, and outdated wall tiles or showers for maximum cost-effectiveness and minimum mess. For the second consecutive year, Bath Planet and the Daily H...

DIY Chatroom Home Improvement Forum - Venting drain for shower and bath -   Plumbing ( http://www.diychatroom.com/f7/ ) stevetyler 12-30-2014 09:01 AM Venting drain for shower and bath   5 Attachment(s) I seem to have a problem here, I am remodeling a basement bathroom, house was built in 1929, washington state, it has a 4" stack that ties to the existing toilet and sink and shower line but I understand that it is not enough venting. Only had an issue once in the past with shower not draining and liquid plumber fixed it. Unfortunately it looks like I am working with just a 1 1/2" line instead of the required 2" for shower. I want to add a tub to the room and move the shower a bit but pipes are under concrete. If I extend shower I wont have room to add a vent pipe alongside the drain without it sticking out of the floor. Wondering how venting works, if I would need to make a new hole in the roof, I have heard of ...

Jacuzzi Luxury Bath recently commissioned a quantitative study from a market-research company to understand the attitudes, habits, and lifestyles of frequent bathers in the U.S. According to the third-party study, more than a third (38%) of the U.S. population is avid bathers, taking baths at least weekly, with an average of 3.3 baths per week. Weekend evenings and Monday mornings are peak bath moments . Contrary to the popular belief of baths being used by females to relax, 50% of avid bathers are men.  Frequent bathers also trend younger (48% of those ages 25-44 bathe regularly).  “ Bathroom remodeling trends have in the past few years favored large showers in lieu of bathtubs, but this study indicates the trend excludes a large portion of homebuyers who bathe regularly and find a bathtub a must-have in a home,” said Joseph Davis , president of Jacuzzi Luxury Bath .  “Large, comfortable tubs, preferably with jets, are in high demand among frequent bathers. The resale value of a ho...

A spacious master bath renovation in a circa 1970s center hall Colonial in Reston has won a “Contractor of the Year” (COTY) award for Michael Nash Design Build and Homes. The recently-completed makeover was named the Washington-area's best residential bathroom in the $50,000 to $75,000 category by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry metro DC chapter .

We went to interior designer Kyle Timothy Blood , of Kyle Timothy Home in East Hampton, New York, and Eddy Doumas, owner of Worth Interiors in Vail, Colorado, for their ideas on creating a spa feeling in your own home. Soup Up Your Tub Mention the words luxury and bath, and most people's minds turn immediately to the tub. "I steer my clients toward freestanding tubs because I think they're sexier than undermounts with miles of cold countertops," says Doumas. "You can add a beautiful piece of furniture and a basket for towels to the floor space you save." Whether you prefer the romance of a claw-foot tub or the extravagance of a marble surround, make sure your tub selection has adequate length and depth for comfortable bathing. The newest programmable tubs can automatically set ...
