Preformed acrylic shower pan
Okay this question is for my son in Pensacola! He has a one piece fiberglass shower that he wants to take out and do an acrylic shower base and then tile the walls. The measurements are 46 1/2"(W)X 45 1/2"(L). I'm in Texas so that's all I know. He is having a hard time findinding a shower floor close to those dimensions. He doesn't want a tile floor in the shower. Any suggestions??

Yes, it is kind of odd dimension... He will be able to fit in 48" Width shower pan. As far as the depth goes, he can put in 30", 32", 36" and 42" deep. That will create two corners framing the shower in front. Check with companies like Lasco at Lasco Bathware for exact dimensions of their shower bases. |

Hi Patty...
Biggest I could find is made by MAAX a 42" x 42" x 5" threshold (you do NOT have to purchase the walls): Square (single threshold) | Product Information The width could be framed from the 46.5" to 42" no problem... ;) I'll keep my eyes open for any more the next day or so... O.K.? MARK |

I suggested turning the studs sideways to give more room in the shower area. The shower has no exterior walls. If it was me I would take out the garden tub and make that the walk-in shower and use the old shower area for a larger walk-in closet or very large linen closet. |

Now I'm brainstorming! If they still want a tub they could put a soaking tub where the shower is and build the bigger walk-in shower where the garden tub is. American Standard 0131 - 012 - 021 - WAMHomeCenter.com |

That has been secured now though. |
