The downstairs bathroom rain shower was in need of some TLC. The small rubber strip on the floor was worn and as a result, the entire bathroom floor would get wet every shower.
As I did not want to put a shower pan in, I opted for the next best thing; creating a shower pan with a special strip, much higher than the rubber strip. But as the strip alone would not prevent water splashing over the pan, I also mounted a shower curtain rail and bought a fitting shower curtain.
I also used the steel wire that came with the rail to properly strengthen the shower head, which had been supported by an improvised support made from an older coat hanger.
The pan strip is intentionally a little larger than the rail, so that water dripping down from the curtain stays with the pan.
This should fix the wet floor issue. Just to be sure I will place a warning on the right mirror to be aware of the strip as you step back, as even though there’s enough space to stand, if you step back not knowing there’s a pan strip on the floor, it could trip someone. Think of it as the warning on microwaves not to dry your cat in it.
Is the curtain rail mounted somewhere: not only in the back wall? Just in case somebody uses the curtain as a support; eg to prevent falling? (I can’t judge from the photo) One might pull the rial down….
Of course. A steel wire on the right corner goes up to the beam.
Nice! Did you mount the curtain rail on the front side also?? In case somebody grabs the curtain to prevent falling or slides the curtain with too much (down) force?
Oeps first post did not show at first😂
