| I dread having a shower with a floor made of tiles and grout lines. I bet it could be made waterproof with something I've heard called "kerdi." But that would not avoid a life time of going after grout. (Is there a bombproof grout out there?)
I think I like the idea of a shower pan. Our house is a 50s house and we are going with a mix of clean / contemporary and staying as true to the Midcentury as we can in our remodel. We will add a new bathroom in the lower level that will have a shower and no bath. I saw this shower pan and thought it looked great:

| Yes, go to your local HD or Lowes. We done it twice and would do it again. This one was a 48" pan and we added a seat in the space between the pan and the wall:
This one replaced a full size tub.
Oops, and yes it's the same tile in both showers. Different houses. I used it again for another house. I keep telling myself I need to pick something different but for some reason I am drawn to this tile - probably the price :) |

| I love what you've done with the pan - how are you finding the shower curtain vs. having a glass door? I want to do this with my shower and my husband thinks the curtain will blow all over the place. |

| HI ellejay, The shower curtain works fine. I've had shower doors before and prefer a curtain. Just get a good quality shower curtain, not a cheap flimsy one. We do not have any problems with water getting on the bathroom floor. I was worried about the 48" shower because of the seat, but it worked out fine. |

| Don't see why you couldn't use one of those UK shower trays if they'll ship one overseas - you may need an metric-to-US pipe thread adapter for the drain, but otherwise should work fine. |

| @barbcollins-- What size shower pan/make of the shower pan is that one that replaced the full sized tub? And, do you find that 2 people can shower in either of your setups? |

| @kirkhall - Yes we got it at Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-25ecodZ5yc1v/R-100655385/h_d2/ProductD isplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=shower+pan&storeId=10051&supe rSkuId=202619404 Yes, two people could shower in either of those though the 48" one was a little tight. |
