I'm in the process of rebuilding a bathroom
in my house and felt it necessary to search
the halfbakery for some splendid halfbaked
ideas. [detly]'s expoliator has inspired me.
Multimaterial tiles are perfect for the
shower. Made of a standard porcelain, they
are tiled to the wall or floor
of your shower
as usual. Each has a recess within the
surface into which a smaller tile fits snuggly
- add a little tile cement to firmly fix your
tile insert.
Tile inserts available
Pumice
Ideal for floor inserts, gently exfoliates
feet as you wash. Use in wall tile inserts
to scratch your back.
Rubber
Use in floor tile inserts, to tickle the feet
of those so inclined, or for walls as a
massager.
Wooden Abacus
Ooo, luxury as a wall tile back massager.
Hollow Plastic Insert
Fill with a liquid soap and fit into a wall
tile insert. Push the tile gently to
dispense shower gel
The 'L' Insert
Place into a wall insert and create a small
shelf. No need to drill.
The 'O' Insert
Place two of these into tiles facing each
other. Insert a pole and hang a shower
curtain.
The 'Y', 'J' or 'V' Insert
Create a shower hook.
Bored with the existing colours?
Change the inserts....

"a smaller tile fits snuggly", how much smaller is it than the, say, 4" square tile? How is it different from just leaving out the regular tile and putting one of these nifty doo-dads instead? |
|
| |
[half] Several sizes of tile and insert are available to provide Sir/Madam with whatever size border around the insert he/she wishes. |
|
| |
The inserts could be tiled as they are, but using them as inserts could mean that you could swap them as and when the mood takes you. |
|
| |
That's what I thought, but was having trouble reconciling that with "add a little tile cement to firmly fix your tile insert." |
|
| |
... just to hold 'em in.... |
|
| |
You could have inserts with waterproof clocks and radios,
or even some sort of weird combination of the two. |
|

You have'm made and I'll install'm fer ya. |
