Tiling Shower


Tiling shower can be hard work, but the investment of redoing is worth the life of your shower. Most popular tile is ceramic tile, and is probably the best bang for your buck. Once its installed you can have it sealed with an epoxy coating.

Ceramic tile is popular due to its durability and flexibility. Can be applied to most tiling needs. Easy to install and to maintain the cleanliness. Once you have the shower gutted out, be sure to have a vapor barrier put in, great against mold & mildew.

Next would be the cement board backer. Its like putting in drywall, cut it to size, and screw it in. Use 100% silicone caulk to seal the seams between the panel. The rest is putting up your tile. Almost to last is to apply the grout, allow 24-48 hours to dry before putting on the epoxy coat. Most of the steps is methodical, so its best to have it done by a professional like us.
