What shower tile materials do you work with?

- Artisan tiles: Handmade zellige, colorful glazed ceramics, textured surfaces
- Patterns: Herringbone, subway, chevron, custom layouts
- Features: Niches, benches, curbless entries
What shower tile trends are popular in 2026?
- Colorful handmade tiles: Unique variations, rich glazes
- Zellige tile: Authentic Moroccan charm, subtle imperfections
- Bold patterns: Geometric, scalloped, and mixed layouts
- Move away from large‑format slabs toward artisan character
Why avoid large‑format or slab tiles in showers?
- Difficult to achieve proper slope to drain
- Heavy – requires structural reinforcement
- High risk of lippage (uneven edges)
- Costly waste from cuts; complex waterproofing around niches/drains
- Limited design flexibility for curves, benches, or small spaces
Why is custom tile superior to prefab shower units?
- Prefab units: Limited sizes, cheap acrylic/fiberglass, visible seams, no customization, lower resale, need replacement in 10–15 years value
- Custom tile: Fully customizable dimensions, durable materials, seamless waterproofing, timeless beauty, significantly higher home value, last decades
Why Schluter‑Kerdi beats cement board waterproofing
- Cement board: Not waterproof – wicks moisture, breeds mold and mildew over time
- Schluter‑Kerdi: Bonded waterproof membrane creates a continuous, vapor‑tight seal
- Eliminates moisture migration behind walls
- Faster installation, compatible with all tile types
Types of shower base & the best one to install
- Acrylic – best overall: durable, warm feel, easy cleaning, affordable
- Fiberglass – budget option: lightweight but less durable
- Cast iron – lifetime durability, very heavy
- Tile – fully custom, but requires perfect slope and maintenance
Our recommendation: Acrylic = best balance of cost, comfort & longevity. Cast iron = lifetime investment.
