Gray linear-tile shower suite

About this job

Three photos of a bathroom shower. The walls are gray striated tile set vertically, so the grain runs floor to ceiling. The shower floor and the bench are both covered in a gray linear mosaic, which keeps the seat and the floor in one material.

Tile dimensions weren’t written down for this job, and neither was the town; it’s logged only as Chicago area. On a vertical layout like this, plumb gets checked before the first row goes up.

1. 01

   Measured and planned

   We check the room’s dimensions and mark layout lines before any tile is set.

2. 02

   Prepared and waterproofed

   Prep depends on the substrate, with waterproofing where the area gets wet.

3. 03

   Set

   Tile goes down to the layout lines, with joints and cuts kept even.

4. 04

   Grouted and sealed

   Grout and any sealer are chosen to suit the tile and how it will be cleaned.

5. 05

   Walked through with the owner

   We go over the finished surface with the owner.
