Hydro truff for shower floor

[ucsspirit]

I was showering today, and had a revolation. I'm currently putting a shower in my basement, one with a head on both sides, and got to thinking, why not put hydro turff down on the shower floor instead of tile, with the cool thick gray padding it would softer, CHEAPER, easier to install, i think. what do you guys think ?:bad:

I think it would be hard to keep clean

Sweet idea but I bet it would mold easily. I guess its worth a shot if you get some B stock. If it works then let us know. If not you are out like $25 and some time

I see a nasty staph infection in your future.

You'll never keep it clean OR dry. it will be breeding ground for all kinds of bacteria and mold. and the damp smell will be everywhere.

Might be cool for an outdoor shower, but indoors I would stick to tile.

you would still have to tile it or put a fibreglass bottom in it for waterproofing........

it would collect soap like crazy......

thats why i posted the idea here, to get some insight, more than what i was thinking. the outdoor thing would probably be perfect, but indoor is not looking so well.

let m know how that smells in about a month

ud be better off tiling the shower and making a shower mat out of it...... or a shower pad (for inside the shower) that isnt glued down so u could hang it up to dry............... but i still think the shower mat (outside the shower to stand on when u get out) would be the closest thing to what u want without the above mentioned issues

Why not, I'm installing foot-holds in my tub with a quick turn shower nozzel.

Dont forget a scupper valve to let all the water out.
