A method of sealing a bathing enclosure includes engaging a first side of a compliant member with a first member, engaging an opposing second side of the compliant member with a second member, and inserting the first and second members with the compliant member into a receptacle projecting from a side panel of a bathing enclosure.

A sealing for arrangement between a wall and a wall covering includes a sealing sheet and an adhesive tape. The sealing sheet and the adhesive tape each have a carrier layer of a preferably closed-cell foam plastic. Furthermore, the sealing sheet can bear a nonwoven fabric preferably on the wall-facing side, wherein border strips remain free of the nonwoven fabric for underlapping with an adhesive tape.

A special shaped stud attachment for holding a panel liner into place has surfaces for attaching to metal studs, surfaces for holding the pan liner, and a liner holding pocket that holds the liner under the level of the wall material.

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.

The method of producing a shower tray using a shower tray blank is disclosed. The method may comprise identifying a drain location on the shower tray blank. The method may further comprise deflecting the shower tray blank at an internal location relative to a shower tray perimeter of the shower tray blank along the depth dimension to a deflected state. The method may also comprise cutting the shower tray blank along a plane generally perpendicular to a depth dimension of the shower tray blank when the shower tray blank is in the deflected state to form the shower tray and a discarded portion. An apparatus for producing a shower tray is also disclosed.

A sealing system (10) comprises of a flexible strip (11) having an upper boundary (12) and a lower boundary (13) an inner face (14) and an outer face (15). The inner face (14) has an upper region (16) and a lower region (17). The outer face (15) has an upper region (18) and a lower region (19). The strip inner face (14) and outer face (15) is coated with a film that allows tenacious adhesion between the strip (11) and an adhesive material.

A moulding usable in a corner joint between two structures features a base stem for adherence to the first structure using double-sided tape, and a cap attached to a proximal end of the base stem for placement against an outer surface of the second structure. The base stem features a break line at which a distal portion of the base stem can be cut, snapped or torn from a proximal portion of the base stem. If a sufficiently sized gap is present between the first and second structures, the base stem is left fully intact and inserted into the gap. In the absence of a sufficient gap, the distal portion of the base stem is detached at the break line, reducing to the base stem to a size that fits between the cap and the outer surface of the second structure.

A special shaped stud attachment for holding a panel liner into place has surfaces for attaching to metal studs, surfaces for holding the pan liner, and a liner holding pocket that holds the liner under the level of the wall material.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a backlit cabinet design (10), of the type used for a hot tub or bath tub, the cabinet structure comprising an external cabinet wall or spare backlit elements (12), an internal structural wall (16), and an air room cavity (14) arranged between the external cabinet wall or spare elements and the internal structural wall. Furthermore, the cabinet and the internal structural wall can be molded together with a shell (20) for receiving water, and a recessed bottom perimeter channel (22) extends around the bottom of the cabinet structure and allows the installation of lights (24) in the air room cavity to backlight the external cabinet wall.
