    What wall board surface under tile in shower?

    Thanks, jadnashua. That is very helpful. I read somewhere, either on this forum, or on another of this nature, about a similar product to Kerdi, but the membrane is painted on, rather than applied in a sheet. Does anybody have any experience with this? If so, did it achieve comparable...

    What wall board surface under tile in shower?

    My G.C. has put up walls in the bathtub/shower that are meant to be tiled over. I want to make sure this is the correct surface. It is not a shower stall, but a bathtub with tile walls. Two of the walls are wood stud walls with fiberglass insulation in between, and the longer wall behind the...

    Best Enameled Cast Iron Tub? TOTO?

    I recently bought a Porcher. I don't claim to know a lot about the Porcher brand, but I know they were bought by American Standard, and they a European brand that is now being marketed as American Standard's higher end line. I have a very small bathroom, so I wanted a smaller iron tub than most...

    In the end, I went with the Toto flushometer, to accompany the Toto toilet. I had hoped for something with a more angular appearance (it is a little bulbous on top), but I know this will be compatible with the Toto bowl. FYI- We're not in a highrise. It's a turn of the century, former...

    Very well. There are many conditions that must be met. I'm not a plumber, and my contractor will ultimately deal with the technical issues. It is true that our apartment currently has a tank, however that was installed as part of work done as a half arse renovation when the place was put on the...

    I hope that you will accept my apologies for my bad behavior. Not of your concern and probably too much information, but several things disrupting my life directly related to this renovation, but nothing to do with my flushometer, have turned my life upside down and that all came to a head over...

    Thank you. All I really want is a point in the direction of a flushometer that has design consideration, like anyone would expect out of a faucet set, or other bathroom hardware. I know somebody already makes them. I've seen them in nice hotels and the bathrooms in up-scale restaurants...

    As to existing plumbing, I'm doing a gut renovation- so it doesn't matter.

    It's as if I stumbled onto a bulletin board for "G scale" model train buffs and made the social blunder of mentioning that I own "HO scale" trains. I've asked for advice on Flushometers. All I've gotten is a smack-down by "tank toilet loyalist". Several have chimed in with almost...

    I came here genuinely thinking there were experts on plumbing hardware and all things toilets that would be happy to speak up and point me in the direction of cool/sleek plumbing hardware that a novice like me wouldn't know where to find. Sorry if I offended anyone.

    Flushometer Brands

    OK, that is a very reasonable explanation. I'll try to make sense of this. People that don't live in New York, Tokyo, or one of a handful of other major metropolises just don't grasp how rare and valued space is- My only bathroom is 6' x 6.5'. There is a reason why most Manhattan...

    . I have nothing against toilets, I have a whole thread here dedicated to finding the right one. You seem to be saying, why don't I like "tank" toilets? Don't like them. I have my reasons. I'm not interested in a debate over tank toilets vs flushometer toilets. You can debate that on some...

    Here are a couple of simple ones- That 370 model with the lever sticking straight up is really great (my wife may accuse it of looking too phallic... but hey, it is a toilet, after all) Question for you, HJ (or anybody who would know)- Can you tell if these would work with standard US...

    thank you I've looked at Toto on their website at: Home - TotoUSA.com They do have a selection of flushometers under their commercial products, but they're not really what I'm looking for. Once I stopped searching under "flushometer" and changed my search string to "flush valve", I've found...
