Riverview, Florida curb less tile shower

Finished this curb less shower and bathroom floor tile in Riverview, Florida.
They had a stand up shower and garden tub and all the wood was rotted and had termites. We gutted, replaced studs and converted the tub area into a standing area and then made the recessed shower a new curb less shower.
Shower was waterproofed with Laticrete HydroBan.
The glass guy will install his glass on the 12x12 and 2x2 line 5' out.

Homeowner totally loves how it came out.

Accessible Handicap Shower.....

I just wanted to post this video documentary that the homeowners
emailed me of them and their child.

An Unexpected Gift

after seeing the documentary I am very happy to have done this
special tile job and shower waterproofing for them and Caleb.

I worked my hardest to give them what they wanted
and tried my best to make it perfect.

this was the accessible shower I just built for them.............

there was mold and a rotted sub floor under old laminate floor.
the one piece tub was cut and removed. mold was cleaned up.


joists were cut to make new area lower.
joists were also sistered on both sides


Kerdi drain was set to proper height.
new shower sub floor was installed, glued and nailed.
tar paper and metal lath were install prior to mudbed.


Schluter Kerdi was done on the shower walls.
the shower mud bed was packed along with the Ditra.


Kerdi was installed on the shower floor.
wall tile was laid out and started to install.


1x1 shower floor tile laid out to the Kerdi drain.
shower floor tile set with unmodified thinset.


12x12 main floor tile set flush with shower floor.

Barrier Free, Accessible, Curbless, Roll In Shower.....

These showers are becoming increasingly popular with older people who
don't feel like or cant step over a curb. Some homeowners even want it for the smooth style flowing look. Or the most important reason for building one is a child, elderly or loved one who is handicapped. In any of these cases someone can benefit by having a low curb or barrier free accessible shower.

I have built curbless, roll in, barrier free accessible showers for over 15 years.
more so in Hotels where required by ADA code they need to have available some showers for the Handicap on the first floor.

the waterproofing is tricky with these types of showers and I have come
to like working with Schluter Kerdi & Ditra. the Kerdi Drain is amazing.
and also Laticrete's Hydroban and Custom's RedGard both a great
liquid membrane to work with.

I could guarantee my showers using
one of these product for years.
