Here is a PIC of it running ..... seems to be more "yellow" than i would expect. KC

Presently installed: House is 1900 sq feet. Yearly Outside Temps: winters are -25c to +5c for 5 months, summers are +20c to +30c for 3 months. A/C is a Lennox model c18-21qc-1, ser 6390f32698, built 06/1990 Furnace is a Heil model cugi075ad01 ser l914939042, installed mar 1992, Input...

It took my contractor 9 full hours to rip mine out ..... and he's done it before .... don't go there if your moving. A new tub/shower and walls would cost you thousands with labour factored in. My understanding is that you can only resurface the steel tubs. Re-Paint walls and buy a big...

Post some pic's if you can ,,,,, would be interested in seeing it. If you can somehow install hot and cold shutoff valves on those 2 lines into the tower it would save you down time on the water grid ..... also better if the unit should fail in the future ..... depends on your access though...

Its done! Finished off the walls with a coat of paint and swapped out the Grab bars with a Hidden Screw Stainless Steel instead of the chrome.

Do a google on greenboard ..... best to avoid it. Even though i have some in my recent build (see link below) I at least have cement board covering area's of direct water contact. Had i know more i would have insisted on cement board from floor to ceiling on every wall ..... i don't even think...

As the title asks ... is a polymer based non-sanded grout in need of a penetrating sealer ...... as the Home Depot sales guy suggested? KC

Yes, an important point made. In my case the ceiling below was damaged due to the inept builder install so access from below was no problem. Also, avoid the use of greenboard in the shower area entirely …. go with cement board or equivalent. KC

Just did one, check out this thread: Hansgrohe shower panel? The contractor was an older guy and took about 80 hours. So, multiply that by their labour rate. Some guys will work faster. Then add for doors, tiles, fixtures etc. I'm in Canada so the prices here are somewhat inflated...

Hansgrohe shower panel .... the install continues! Day 9: Grouting finished and door in. Duct taped the corner shelves in place until they dry. Duct tape looks so good i might just leave it!:D

Yes, i would not use greenboard again but i was too late in surfing the Forums before i found out that it has fallen out of favor. Most of the older tiling guys just carry on doing what they aways did. In this case i don't go to the full ceiling of the bathroom. Above is essentially a heated...

Hansgrohe shower panel .... the install continues! Day 8 Grouting nearly finished.

Going to go with tile on the ceiling .... others seem not to have a problem with it and I like the look. From what i hear greenboard is not to be used in showers anymore but code here is the first 4 feet only ..... i have it higher as i asked for but if i was doing it again i would go entirely...

Hey, “nmodi†I guess I more or less hijacked your ‘Hansgrohe shower panel?’ thread with my Hansgrohe install ….. flame away if your upset???? KC

Hansgrohe shower panel .... install/reno in progress ...pictures OK, here we are at the end of Day 3 …… base in, center plywood for the grab bars in place, some kind of green board on the ceiling and a light (reused from the crappy 15 year old 'builders special' enclosure). We plan on tiling...
