This is a master bath remodel we did in Canton Mi. Walls were moved to enlarge the area,new plumbing and electrial were ran to accomadate the new double sink vanity and new under floor heat system.
The tile for the bath floor is a 12x12 travertine installed on a diagonal and the shower walls are a 4x4 travertine on a diagonal surrounded by 2 rows of 2x2 and a 1/2x12 pencil liner.The niche is a Noble 303 wide arch combo that is tiled with a glass/stone mix to give it its features.
Waterproofing with Laticretes Hydrobarrier and thinset of choice was Laticretes 4XLT and grouted with Permacolor.
The granite counter top we installed is 1 1/4" New Venetian Gold with ogee edge work and 3/4 ripped down backsplash with undermount sinks and new Delta Victorian faucets.

Stone tub surround in Canton, Mi.




This is a stone travertine tile tub surround we just completed in Canton, Mi. The bathroom was gutted to the studs and subfloor and a new 32" cast iron tub was installed. All new plumbing and electrial were ran to accomadate the new fixtures.

The travertine tile is a 10x20 stone with a matching border piece installed in a running bond pattern and the bath floor is a 13x13 porcelain on a diagonal.

Laticretes "Hydroban" was used for the waterproofing of the walls and Laticretes "4XLT and Permacolour " were used as the thinset and grout of choice.

Glass tile install using the Laticrete "one step method"
















This is a bathroom wall we did about one year ago with paper face mounted glass tile mosaics.





The bathroom is in Canton, Michigan and the home owner was a past client of ours.





To install this glass we used the Laticrete "one step method" which consists of mixing the sanded grout which was Laticrete Bright White 1500 grout with their 4237 admix to make basically a grout adhesive. The mixture is spread on the wall and then spread on the back of the mosaics and then the sheets are mounted on the wall and beaten in with a block of wood or float.





The sheets are then let set-up for approx. 15 -20 minutes and are then whetted down with a sponge and let sit a few more minutes so the water can dissolve the glue and then the paper is slowly pulled back and removed. When the paper is removed the individual pieces can be re-aligned if needed and can also be cleaned down with a sponge.





A finished install in one go and no messing around with a knife or bristle brush the next day trying to clean thinset out of the joints.
