A kit for manufacturing a shower, comprising a shower pan, one or more pre-sized and shaped floor covering panels, one or more pre-sized and shaped wall covering panels, and, in some of the embodiments, one or more pre-sized and shaped curb covering panels. The invention is also directed to a method for manufacturing a shower by the steps of: (i) installing a shower pan, (ii) installing one or more pre-sized and shaped floor covering panels, (iii) installing one or more pre-sized and shaped wall covering panels, and, in some of the embodiments, (iv) installing one or more pre-sized and shaped curb covering panels. The invention is also directed to a manufactured shower, comprising: a shower pan, one or more pre-sized and shaped floor covering panels, one or more pre-sized and shaped wall covering panels, and, in some embodiments, one or more pre-sized and shaped curb covering panels.

A hinge that includes a first hinge portion that attaches to a side edge of a shower door panel, the first hinge portion having a pin protruding vertically therefrom; and a second hinge portion that attaches to a support and cooperating with the first hinge portion so that the shower door panel hinges between open and closed positions about an axis of rotation, the second hinge portion having a vertical socket that receives the pin, wherein the socket has a lateral opening to receive the pin, and a retainer member that covers the opening to retain the pin in the socket, and wherein the socket allows rotation of the pin within the socket; wherein the first and second hinge portions are arranged, in use, such that the axis of rotation is adjacent to the side edge and substantially between front and rear faces of the shower door panel.

A combination shower and toilet is disclosed. The device comprises a base, a toilet bowl extending from the base, a shower head coupled to the base, a pivoting curtain rod coupled to the base, and a shower curtain coupled to the curtain rod.

Disclosed is a bath wall assembly. The bath wall assembly includes a first back wall panel and a second back wall panel. Each of the back wall panels are configured to be mounted to a structural wall of a bathroom. The first back wall panel includes a flange that extends at least partially along an edge of the first back wall panel. The second back wall panel includes a channel configured to receive a portion of the flange therein. The channel is configured to prevent relative movement between the first back wall panel and the second back wall panel in a vertical direction. Together, the flange and the channel form a substantially water-tight seam between the first back wall panel and the second back wall panel.

A kit can be used to construct a shower enclosure within a plurality of walls and above a floor. Each wall has a plurality of vertical studs. The kit comprises a prefabricated shower base having a drain hole, a plurality of attachment pieces, and a plurality of prefabricated shower wall panels. The prefabricated base is configured to be positioned on the floor so that its drain hole is positioned over the floor's drain outlet. Each attachment piece has a front planar portion and is configured to attach to a stud of a wall so that the front planar portions of the attachment pieces on the same wall frame are essentially co-planar and plumb regardless of whether the front-facing surfaces of the studs are co-planar, plumb, and straight. Each prefabricated wall panel has a backside configured to attach to the front planar portions of a plurality of the attachment sleeves.

A shower wall system is mounted to a wall frame having a plurality of vertical studs. The system comprises a plurality of attachment pieces, a lower piece, and an upper piece. Each attachment piece is attached to a stud, and either the lower or upper piece is attached to attachment pieces. The lower piece is aligned to the upper piece by a wall alignment assembly. The wall alignment assembly comprises a first alignment member proximate the top portion of the lower piece that mates with a second alignment member near the bottom portion of the one upper piece. The alignment members are configured to mate together in at least a partially interlocking manner, and the plurality of attachment pieces are positioned relative to the wall frame so that the upper piece is aligned with the lower piece regardless of whether the wall frame studs are co-planar and plumb.

A bath kit configured to transition from a crate form to a bathroom form is provided. The bath kit includes a bathtub enclosure surrounded by a first sidewall sub-assembly, a second sidewall sub-assembly, a rear bracing sub-assembly, a drop ceiling sub-assembly, and a floor sub-assembly. The sub-assembly components form the three sides, a top, and a bottom of the bath kit in crate form. These components are also configured to form the walls, ceiling, and floor of the bathtub enclosure in the bathroom form. The method of assembling the bath kit and the method of transforming the bath kit from a crate form to a bathroom form are also provided.
