Let’s face it – talking about shower bases IS NOT sexy. The only thing worse than discussing shower bases, is talking about shower drains or getting a root canal. However, while shower pans aren’t the focal point of most bathrooms, if you buy the wrong base, it leaks, or it ends up becoming a problem... Continue reading

Details, details, details. The devil (AND wasted money) can be flushed down the drain if you don’t pay attention to shower details. And when it comes to recessed shower niches there’s more to them than meets the eye. You may be asking….. What size and shape should the niche be? What material is best? What... Continue reading

Do you Need an ADA, Accessible, or Age In Place Shower? And Does it Have to Look Ugly?

By Mike Foti on . Leave a Comment

I can’t believe I’m going to tell you this. Although I’ve written over 1,000 bathroom remodeling articles, and spoken to contractors who specialize in the accessible, age in place and ADA (Americans with Disability Act) shower market, and earned the CAPS (Certified Aging in Place) designation, I still...

If planning a shower remodeling project is blowing your mind, you’re not alone. While FOMO (the Fear Of Missing Out) on a new bathroom can push you forward, FOSU (the Fear Of Screwing Up) can hold you back. The question becomes how can you get the remodeled shower of your dreams AND be confident (through... Continue reading

Is a Low Profile Shower Pan Right for Your Project?

I’ll admit my company wholesales AND installs A LOT of low profile shower pans, so what I’m about to say may be shocking and that is….

Is a Walk-In Shower Really Safer for an Aging in Place Bathroom? What Most People Don’t Know….

By Mike Foti on . Leave a Comment

Walk in showers and aging in place go together like peanut butter and jelly, correct? Well, as a guy who leads a business which wholesales and installs these systems I’d say, “Not so fast Kemosabe!” While many walk in showers are perfect for aging in place, others are a disaster.

Frequently Asked Questions about Grab Bars in a Bathroom …a Product Everyone Loves to HATE!

By Mike Foti on . Leave a Comment

I’m coming clean (no bathroom pun intended) right up front. While I lead a business which sell grab bars, for many years I ‘took orders for’ grab bars. And by that I mean, I wasn’t too knowledgeable. I simply asked people what they wanted. I didn’t ask probing questions to guide them to what they... Continue reading

By Mike Foti on . Leave a Comment

Your spouse (or partner) has been nagging you for YEARS for the ‘love of God’ to do SOMETHING about your bathroom. But you’ve dragged your feet because you weren’t sure the time was right.
