Master bath remodel in Northville, Mi.











This is one we just finished up in Northville Mi., it had the original white 4x4 builders special on the walls and tub deck and bath floor. We gutted everything to the studs and sub floor except the top of the tub (so as not to damage it, as it was not to be removed). Studs were shimmed where necessary and Durock backerboard was installed and taped and mudded with thinset, the walls were then given two coats of "Laticretes Hydroban" so as to waterproof the shower.




A "Noble" niche was used for the recessed shelve and installed where the customer requested, the tile was then installed using "Laticrete's 4XLT" thinset and grouted with their sanded 1500 grout (parchment), New "Delta Victorian"shower controls were then installed and the original toilet set back in place . Euro glass doors have now been ordered and will be installed within two weeks to finish this now modern look.
If you would like a bath room remodel or any sort of tile installed in and around Livonia, Canton, Plymouth, Northville or any of S.E Michigan, please give us a call (734) 513-5041

Steam shower in Plymouth, Michigan











This is a steam shower we just completed in Plymouth Mi., There was an original shower there that had a fibreglass tray and this was removed and the old tile was demoed to the studs. The new shower was framed and enlarged and the ceiling sloped to allowed for condensation run off. It was then plumbed for a new shower valve and the steam generator and electric ran to power the new steam generator. It was also insulated and boarded with Durock backer board and the Schluter Kerdi membrane was applied to make the shower vapour proof.




The tile is a 12x18 on the bottom part of the shower with a 2x2 and 3x6 mix for a decorative border that ran through the recessed shelve and then a 12x12 on top, all the tile was porcelain. The bench top and curb top was custom made slab granite that was fabricated at a local slab shop and then cut to size on site by our installers to fit the exact dimensions.




It was then grouted with Laticrete's Perma Colour grout and Laticrete's Latasil silicone was used at all changes of plain. Then the final fixtures were attached and sealed with silicone.
