Access Panels for tub decks - how to make it look nice
I found these clip things at Pacific Rim Flooring in Burnaby. Made by Schluter.
This could be a great option for anyone I think. I have not used them but imagine they can be used from everything to tub access panels, led ligthing panel access and on and on. Not sure why Jim is talking about boiling a toilet? Odd.
Here is a picture. Never seen one a job site but they are stocked everyday here in Vancouver - or should I say Burnaby.
Personally I would do a better job of the back panel - maybe some kind of full tile instead of just the square. But the photo should give you an idea. The magnets get set into the thin-set behind the fixed tile I think. I'm sure Jim will research it and then cut and paste some info for us soon.
I'm really sorry Jim if it bothers you I update these old threads. They come up every day and it would be a shame if all we did was send people over to John's page. Terry's site needs more content from men in the business - since you are not a tile guy - or a general contractor - or a pro - or even in the business I thought I would help keep Terry's site humming along.
I would imagine Terry doesn't mind me helping out the content here. I read the rules and it was pretty clear - no where does it say you get the last word. It doesn't say anywhere that once a thread is more than a week old and you have answered we can not continue to contribute.
It might be easier for you to ignore me I think. I will be updating dozens and dozens more. I like seeing Terry's Forum outrank the other construction forums online. Makes me smile every time one does.
Just being a team player.
