Walk-In Shower Installation
Curbless, low-curb, and walk-in showers with frameless glass, custom tile, recessed niches, linear or center drains, and full Schluter or equivalent waterproofing — built to drain properly and stay leak-free for decades.
Walk-In Showers Built Properly
A walk-in shower is a waterproofing project disguised as a tile project. We use Schluter-Kerdi, Wedi, or equivalent membrane systems, properly sloped pans, linear or center drains sized to the shower, and frameless or low-iron glass. Cheap waterproofing fails in 5-10 years; quality systems outlast the rest of the bathroom.
