Home Reno: New Bathroom In Basement
#8
What is your budget? Thats what should be answered first.....I hope you are just heating the washroom with the electrical wire and not the whole basement with that because that can get very expensive.....My suggestion is if you ever put tiles down in your basement or basement washroom you shoud put a subfloor down... this is especially good for the winter months.....

Next, make sure the walls are all insulated with a vapour barrier.... its a clear plastic with drywall on top of course.....For the shower, if your building it and doing the tiling yourself you need a shower liner sometimes called (membrain or Aqua proof) put this down with the sides folded up not more than 1' foot or 12" inches high....What this does is drains any water to the drain if water ever gets under the tiles or drywall and trust me it will grout cracks fast.

When installing fiber glass showers, silicon and wood shims are your best friend, remember your standing on the base so make sure there are wood shims underneath, you don't want movement. Make sure everything is clean and dry before adding mildew resistant silicon. Don't forget the exhaust fan and if you don't mind spending a bit of money, put a rain shower head in the center of the ceiling or a water proof light (your choice). I would also suggest putting a shower bar as well. You going with a pedistal sink or vanity?....

Ok enough free info for everybody just hire me to do the work lol!
