Bathtub
Baths have become so much more than a quiet space to soak or wash the kids and pets. They still do all that. But now you also can choose from unique experiences that move water, air and sound over your body. Special features like a heated back or color therapy let you personalize your bath even more. The following guide will take you through these and other considerations to help you discover the bath best suited to you and your home.
Bathtubs have personalities. Freestanding and clawfoot types will boldly occupy a favored position in the bathroom. Alcove, drop-in and corner tubs often are nestled against walls and integrated into the overall scheme. MasterCraft can design your new bathroom around what type of tub you’re envisioning.
Different types of baths are defined and designed by how they can be installed. For example, the exterior of a drop-in bath is unfinished because it will be hidden by a stone or tile surround, whereas a freestanding bath is finished on all sides and can be installed anywhere in the room.
A bath designed for drop-in installation has a self-rimming edge that rests on the deck material–such as tile or stone–that surrounds your whirlpool or bathtub. Kits are available to use your drop-in bath in an under-mount installation.
An alcove is a recessed nook or area within a room. Designed for three-wall alcove installations, this bath type option typically features unfinished exteriors and tile flanges on three sides. Many of these fixtures include an integral apron, the finished front of the bathtub, to complete the design.
Creating a clean, contemporary look, under-mount installation is perfect for designing a separate, personalized bathing space. The bath is mounted beneath your choice of deck material, such as tile, solid surface or natural stone. Most under-mount baths can accommodate a drop-in installation.

A corner bath is usually five-sided, with a clover-shaped bathing well, and is designed to accommodate two bathers at once.
MasterCraft is an ADA Certified Remodeler and we are able to design a bathroom with a tub to accommodate bathers who may not be able to step over a standard bathtub threshold, walk-in bathtubs have a side door or a door that opens so bathers don’t need to step over the bath wall.

Washplane sinks, often spotted in sleek hotels and restaurant bathrooms, are the simplest of the options. They’re slim, streamlined and stylish.
Many off-the-shelf vanity cabinets that can be purchased from bathroom supply stores offer an all-in-one countertop with a sink that sits on top. With this style, the sink itself is actually molded as part of the countertop. It can be made from various materials, such as porcelain or acrylic.
Toilet
Types of toilets
This is the most common type of toilet installed in residential settings, and it offers great value. A separate tank and bowl are assembled together to create the full toilet. KOHLER two-piece toilets usually require a separately sold seat.
A one-piece toilet is crafted from one single piece of ceramic, so the bowl and tank are integrated. This eliminates the seam between the bowl and tank, making it easier to keep clean. KOHLER one-piece toilets typically come with a seat.
From heated seats and warm-water cleansing to automated flushing and more, intelligent toilets help redefine one of life’s most basic rituals.
Leading-Edge Design
Intelligent toilets features an innovative tankless design that makes a stunning style statement.
Cleansing
From heated seats and warm-water bidet functionality to automated flushing and more, intelligent toilets help redefine one of life’s most basic rituals.
Adjustable Settings
Temperature, cleansing settings and more can be controlled with an intuitive touch-screen remote.
Ideal for bathrooms with a limited footprint, a wall-hung toilet features a sleek, easy-to-clean design. With a hidden in-wall tank, only the bowl and flush plate are mounted to the wall, resulting in a streamlined profile that saves up to 12″ of space over floor-mount models and simplifies cleaning.
Bowl Shapes
- Fits most residential spaces
- Provides added room and comfort for seating
- Offers the comfort of an elongated bowl in a round-front toilet footprint
- Saves up to 10 percent more space than an elongated bowl

- A good solution for small spaces
Seat Heights

- Low-profile
- Sits at chair height–approximately two inches higher than standard-height toilets
- Makes standing and sitting easier
- Many are ADA-compliant when installed per applicable guidelines
- Comfort Height® is the Kohler term for chair-height toilets
- Wall-hung toilets can be positioned at a custom height from 15-3/8″ to 28-1/2″ to accommodate a range of statures
- Raised bowl allows cleaning underneath
Toilet Trapways
Offers an easy-to-clean uniform toilet base from front to back. No bolts are exposed with a skirted toilet, and many models don’t require drilling, caulk or special tools to install.
Features a smooth trapway surface that’s easy to wipe clean. Low-profile bolt caps replace traditional raised caps for a smooth, easy-to-clean surface on toilets with concealed trapways. Clean Caps™ is the term Kohler uses for these low-profile bolt caps.
Traditionally designed, exposed trapways can be seen from the side of the toilet. Exposed trapway toilets are fitted with standard caps to cover the bolts that attach the toilet to the floor.
Toilet Flush Handle Locations
Single-flush toilets typically have a flush lever on the left or right side of the toilet.
Intelligent toilets feature automatic flushing as well as a touch-screen remote that can also control flushing.

Flooring
Porcelain tile is the best of all worlds for bathroom flooring–waterproof, stylish, and cost-effective.
Vinyl is the most popular choice for bathroom flooring for several reasons. Vinyl is very much a do-it-yourself job (you can install vinyl tiles in a weekend, easily). Plus there are thousands of style options. It comes as sheet, plank, or tile.
Engineered wood has a plywood base that holds up well against moisture. And it looks terrific because the top layer is real wood.
Laminate flooring is no more than resin-impregnated paper atop a wood chip base. The surface of laminate plank is actually a photograph of oak, cherry, slate, marble, or any other wood or stone.
Granite, marble, marble tumbled, limestone tumbled, travertine, mosaic, and slate.
