Just a few pic's I reeived from home today. The shower screen was fitted today and the missing mirror is to be fitted tomorrow

As in one of the other threads we went for floor to ceiling

Still the painting to come yet

Nice job. Floor to ceiling tiles look great. Who did you get the semi-frameless screen from? Looks like about a 1200 span for the screen, how much did it cost?

Also noticed that you didn't use a pre-made base, opting for tiling instead. This is what I am looking to do, but I have timber floors where the bathroom is going to go and don't know what is involved in getting the appropriate waterproofing in.

Thanks Benhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon7.gif

It has been a labour of love for my wife, youngest son and myself for 4 months . As I have the oldest home from the navy its good to get the main bathroom back again.

The screen was made by Regency. Our is also on a timber floor with a slab poured ontop and then sheeted in and waterproofing applied throughout

Have not received any pic's of the vanity mirror yet will post when I receive them

Looks great!!!! Almost good enough not to use - you wouldn't want to wreck it ;).

It's a bit hard to tell from the pics . . . did you tile up to the cornice or cornice later, over the top of the tiles?

Hi Bin J

The tiles are indeed up to the cornice not cornice over tiles. Thanks for the good words
Cheers Sam
