Urban Stillness bathroom bundles compared: how to pick your door size, macerating toilet, and 36x24 lighted cabinet

Start with the shower opening: pick the correct pivot-door width range

Urban Stillness bundles use pivot-style glass doors at 71 inches high with ANSI-certified tempered safety glass. Width ranges cover common remodel openings, so choose the smallest range that cleanly spans your measured finished opening after tile/backer are in place.

Typical matches: a 40 in opening pairs with a 38–42 in door; 46 in pairs with 44–48 in; and 52 in pairs with 50–54 in. Pivot doors need swing clearance—confirm there’s room for the door to open without hitting a vanity, toilet, or towel bar.

1/4 in (6 mm) tempered glass is category-typical for framed/semi-frameless pivot doors and meets U.S. safety glazing requirements for shower enclosures (e.g., CPSC 16 CFR 1201; ANSI Z97.1). This thickness keeps weight manageable for DIY while remaining compliant.

• Doors are reversible (left/right) and ship with perimeter/bottom seals per Simple Project’s CALYZ pivot-door specs.
• There’s about 4 inches of built-in width adjustment on the 38–42 in model without cutting, illustrating how these ranges accommodate out-of-plumb walls.

Macerating toilet choices: one-piece vs two-piece and how they compare

An upflush (macerating) toilet is a go-to for basement or below-grade bathrooms where breaking concrete isn’t practical. Simple Project’s 600W systems pair with either a sleeker one-piece elongated bowl or a classic two-piece form factor.

Performance (manufacturer documentation) indicates up to roughly 29.5 ft vertical lift and up to about 295 ft horizontal run under specified conditions. For context, common benchmarks list Liberty Pumps Ascent II at up to 25 ft vertical/150 ft horizontal and Saniflo Saniaccess 3 around 15 ft vertical/150 ft horizontal (check each brand’s manual for exact routing assumptions and limits).

Both Simple Project configurations use dual-flush around 0.8/1.28 gpf; 1.28 gpf is the EPA WaterSense maximum for tank-type toilets, but labeling requires independent certification—do not assume a label unless explicitly stated.

Venting and electrical matter. Many macerators require connection to a true atmospheric vent (not an AAV) and a dedicated 120V circuit; follow the installation manual and local code. Expect periodic descaling and “toilet paper only” discipline for long-term reliability.

• Seat height: ADA guidance defines 17–19 in above finished floor for “accessible” toilets; check each model’s seat height if comfort height is important.
• Noise and odor in macerators depend heavily on proper venting, installation, and maintenance. Always follow the manual for trap/seal integrity and vent routing.

Plan the 36x24 lighted medicine cabinet: mounting, power, and features

Urban Stillness bundles include a 36 in W x 24 in H LED cabinet with defogger and interior outlets/USB. It can be surface- or recessed-mounted.

Recessed rough opening is approximately 35.4 in W x 23.2 in H with minimum depth near 4.1 in. Surface-mounting is popular when covering an old niche and avoids cutting studs.

Bathrooms typically require GFCI protection for receptacles; manufacturer documents for similar lighted cabinets recommend a GFCI-protected 120V feed. If you want the mirror lights on a wall switch, plan wiring accordingly per the installation guide.

• Defoggers are designed for quick clearing after a shower and are not meant to run continuously; use the dedicated switch/touch control.
• Avoid recessing in a cold exterior wall where insulation depth is limited unless you reframe appropriately.

Finish: matte black vs brushed nickel

Pick a finish that matches your valves, vanity pulls, and other hardware. Matte black offers modern contrast against light tile and black shower bases. Brushed nickel is more forgiving on fingerprints and tends to blend with a wider range of fixtures.

Pick your exact configuration (width, toilet type, and finish)

Match your shower opening first, then choose toilet style and finish. The listings below group Urban Stillness configurations so you can click into the one that fits your space and preferences. For SKUs that display “N/A” in the toilet field, review the product page to confirm included components before purchasing.

What’s included and the support policy

Simple Project’s CALYZ pivot-door documentation calls out reversible installation, perimeter/bottom seals, and 1/4 in tempered safety glass in these 71 in tall doors. The Urban Stillness pages also list a 1-year limited warranty and 30-day free returns—confirm specifics on the product page for your chosen SKU before ordering.

Lighted cabinet dimensions and cutout guidance are provided on the dimensions page; installation instructions for cabinet, door, and macerating toilet are available on the manufacturer’s site. Always verify rough-in, venting, and electrical requirements with the current manual and your local code.

• Safety glazing for shower enclosures is required in the U.S. (CPSC 16 CFR 1201; ANSI Z97.1).
• For bathroom receptacles or integrated outlets/USB inside a cabinet, plan a GFCI-protected circuit per typical manufacturer guidance and local code.

Quick answers to common questions

• Which door for a 40/46/52 in opening? Choose 38–42 in for 40; 44–48 in for 46; 50–54 in for 52. Confirm plumb and swing clearance before drilling.
• Is 1/4 in tempered glass sturdy enough? It’s the standard thickness on many framed/semi-frameless pivot doors and meets safety glazing requirements; thicker 3/8 in glass is more common on frameless designs and costs more.
• How far can the 600W upflush toilet pump? Simple Project documentation shows up to ~29.5 ft vertical and ~295 ft horizontal (model/conditions dependent). Compare route plans to the manual’s charts.
• Can I use an AAV to vent a macerator? Follow the macerator’s manual and local plumbing code; many systems call for connection to a true atmospheric vent rather than an AAV.
• Do I need GFCI for the lighted cabinet’s outlets/USB? Bathroom receptacles typically require GFCI protection; manufacturer documentation for similar cabinets specifies a GFCI-protected 120V supply.

What buyers liked (themes from public discussions)

Shoppers discussing macerating toilets and bathroom remodels often highlight benefits and preferences. These are recurring positive themes, not verified performance claims:

• Upflush systems make basement baths feasible without breaking concrete, provided venting and routing follow the manual (examples: reddit.com/r/Plumbing and r/HomeImprovement threads).
• Pivot doors with 1/4 in glass are lighter for DIY handling than heavier frameless panels and still feel secure when properly installed.
• Surface-mounting a large 36x24 cabinet cleanly covers an old recessed niche without reframing; recessed looks built-in when wall depth allows.
• Built-in defoggers and interior outlets/USB are appreciated for daily convenience.
