Jean's Home Improvement Guides

After visiting the 2009 National Kitchen and Bath show a few months ago in Atlanta, anxious to discover any new “trends” in the industry, I was surprised to find the real trend is, well, the lack of any trends.

The continued focus on eco solutions and aging in place design were in some way a part of each companies presentation. Economic conditions and tight budgets downsized the vendor participation with some major players as noticeable no shows. Despite missing some of my favorites, it was a bit of a treat to walk the aisles with a little more elbow room and get the chance to speak to manufacturers without having to stand in line. Here are a few product highlights from the more than 500 national and international companies displaying their wares.

Setting a shower cubicle is considerably easier than setting a bath because it is smaller and lighter. Again, it’s a good idea to verify the drain opening location from the actual unit because small changes can make the attaching to the waste system difficult, particularly if the shower cubicle is being installed on a slab.

No matter what material the shower tray is made from, the heavier and more rigid it is, the less likely it is that it will flex under foot pressure or heavy weight, which could eventually cause leakage around the drain fitting and outer seal.
