Flexible Glue Up Tile Flange for Walk-in Tubs, Shower Bases and Bathtubs Without Flange
From $69.00The purpose of the Ella Glue-Up Tile Flange kit is to provide the perfect tile flange option for bathtubs and shower bases that lack a built-in tile flange.
Ella brand walk-in bathtub shells do not include an integral tile flange. The reason for this omission is our focus on maximizing interior space by minimizing the deck width to the necessary minimum. As a result, finishing tiles or wall panels over the deck should also occupy minimal space to allow for cleaning gaps between the wall and fixtures. We strongly recommend purchasing and installing Ella’s glue-up flexible tile flange for this purpose. This tile flange is constructed from a thin, waterproof fabric membrane and is perfectly suited for this application.

Leak Elimination Kit for Pull Out Hand Showers (5′ Hose with Barrel Connector)
$35.00The Hand Shower Hose Extension Kit gives you the ability to add an extension to your hand shower in order to attach the hand held shower to the wall. Without the extension hose and barrel protection, water will leak from the hose of the hand shower if it is attached to the wall. This may result in costly damages. With the extension hose, bathers can shower while in a sitting position or standing.
Note: If you’re planning to install a hand shower slider bar on the wall, this is a must-buy and must-install accessory to prevent leaks through the pull-out hand shower insertion hole.
