- Large-format tiles — fewer grout lines mean a cleaner look and easier upkeep
- Schluter waterproofing system — when installed by a certified pro, it makes your shower 100% waterproof
Every Schluter product we use is high-quality, easy to clean, and built to last for years—with sleek trim options that give your shower a modern, finished edge.
Can You Customize the Shower Floor Too?
Yes! Your shower floor can be just as stylish as your walls. We recommend smaller tiles (anything under 6x6 inches) because they allow for better sloping and drainage. Popular shower floor options include:
- Pebble tile
- Basketweave patterns
- 2x2 mosaic squares
- Herringbone layouts
- 2x2 hexagon tiles
Do You Offer Glass Doors or Fixtures?
We focus on what we do best: tile and waterproofing. Here's how that works:
- Showerheads and faucets — most customers already have these picked out before their project starts
- Drains — we offer a wide variety of sizes, colors, and styles to match your fixtures
- Glass enclosures — while we don't install glass doors ourselves, we gladly coordinate with trusted glass partners to complete your dream shower
How Do You Keep a Custom Shower Looking Great?
A little regular care goes a long way. Follow these simple tips to keep your shower looking new:
- Clean your shower every one to two weeks to prevent soap scum and hard water buildup
- Seal natural stone once a year to protect against water absorption
- Use lukewarm water and a non-acidic cleaner on natural stone surfaces
- Choose porcelain tile if you want less water absorption and easier upkeep
- Pick larger tiles with fewer grout lines for simpler cleaning
Can Your Flooring Handle Heated Systems?
Absolutely. If you're dreaming of warm floors on cold mornings, we've got you covered:
- Tile — the most popular choice, and an excellent heat conductor
- Rectified porcelain — our top recommendation for heated floors, offering thinner, more even grout lines and extra durability
- LVP (luxury vinyl plank) — some options are also rated for use with heated flooring systems
What Other Waterproof Flooring Options Do You Carry?
Showers aren't the only place water resistance matters. We also carry flooring made with your daily rituals in mind:
- Tile
- LVP (luxury vinyl plank)
- Laminate
- Carpet with waterproof backing
Tile remains the most waterproof option, with LVP as a strong runner-up. And remember: waterproof flooring resists water both on the surface and underneath, while water-resistant flooring only protects the top layer. When it comes to showers and wet areas, waterproof is always the smarter choice.
