Hobs and Hob Walls CARPENTRY - HOUSING Hobs are generally raised or flat tiled sections at one or both ends of a bath. The main purpose of a hob is to close off the area left between the length of the bath and the walls. A raised hob is usually formed between the end of the bath and a shower to provide closure between them. It may also be used to fix the side panel of a glass shower screen and/or to mount the taps for the bath. Fig. 21 Flat hob end Fig. 22 Raised hob wall Set Out / Construction The height of a raised hob wall should be set out to suit full wall tiles. The raised section of the hob wall is usually one tile course above the bath to provide a flashing and a finish between bath and shower. A gauge rod is used to set the height of the wall to allow full tiles from finished floor to the top edge. This rod is also used to set the height of the bath, so the top of the bath will work full tiles. The hob wall may be constructed from timber framing and lined with Villaboard, similar to the support side of the bath, or it may be of masonry. Brick, concrete block and Hebel block are suitable materials. Note: � The width of the hob wall should also be set out to suit full tiles where possible, however this is usually determined by the width of the bath. � Timber must not be used for shower recess hobs.
