Recessed shampoo shelves
San Diego tile installations will sometimes have recessed shampoo shelves, which of course are an intelligent addition to your shower remodel. They provide proper function without crowding the space in addition to giving a unique and fantastic design feature. The standard size is 12 inches, by 12 inches, however, you can have it made bigger or smaller. You can design the shelf to be taller than it is wide, or wider than it is tall. Please understand pipes and wires for the plumbing and electrical functions of the house are inside walls. We will know where the pipes and wires are after we open the wall. We usually install the shelves between two studs. Sometimes we modify the framing of the wall to accommodate a specific desired location for the shelf. We cut the lumber inside the wall and orientate it in such a way that frames the outline of the recessed shampoo shelf.
Recessed Box
We sometimes call recessed shampoo shelves boxes. There are manufactures that make shampoo boxes in a shop, and made to have tile set directly on them. However, most of the time, we build the box on site from scratch. In this case, the box needs to be framed into the wall with lumber. In addition, the shelf also needs proper tile backing installed inside. Moreover, the backing should have a moisture barrier either in front or behind. Finally, the tile can be set and grouted.
Stripe Through Shelf
The stripe can also be put through the shelf with careful planning. The extra storage space given by the recessed shampoo shelves add to the utility to the tile shower. Storage in bathrooms is sometimes lacking, therefore, storage is incorporated into the design of a bathroom remodel. It is important to find a San Diego tile installation contractor that understands bathroom remodel design. The design can address most or all possible needs and wants. A high level bathroom remodel contractor understands what benefits a tile installation can give.
