Bathroom questions...also, Japanese sliding doors?
 

Where the bathtub meets the surround, there's a ~1cm tiling lip (?).
What should fill this gap? A strip of greenboard or something? On
the topic of greenboard, should it form the walls from the floor to
and including the ceiling of the tub/shower?

Also, the toilet is currently drained by 4" cast iron (original, house
was built ~1957, Toronto, ON, Canada). I'm going to swtich to ABS
with a low-flush toilet. Is it preferable (for flow-rates, etc.) to
use 3" ABS? It's about a 12' straight run to the basement floor.

Finally, does anyone know of a source for Japanese sliding doors in
Toronto?

TIA!

No expert here, but similarly engaged myself right now. My Jacuzzi
tub has a "tiling flange" which is a vertical edge above the tub rim
around the 3 sides that fit against the walls (surrounds?). The
Jacuzzi
installation diagrams show the tile or whatever extending over this
flange.
The flange is screwed to the studs. The greenboard goes behind the
tille or marble or whatever on the walls around the tub. No need for
it
to be all the way to the ceiling.
