A short time ago we completed a slate master bathroom in Erie, Colorado. The bathroom consisted of a new deck for a jacuzzi tub, slate floor, slate wainscot and shower.
The slate consisted of gauged and honed material in a darker mixed earth colors with green overtones. Gauged stone means that it is cut to a consistent thickness and honed indicates that the face of the slate is finished with a flat surface rather than an unfinished, rough surface.
The floor contains in-floor heating that also runs into the shower floor and up onto the bench in the shower itself. Yes, you can have in-floor heating in your shower! Over the heating element on the bathroom floor we installed Schluter Ditra underlayment membrane, then the slate.
The shower is a full kerdi shower installation with the tile continuing up to the vaulted ceiling on one side and a mountain silhouette or relief cut on the other. The homeowner actually drew the shape of the silhouette on cardboard and I cut it out of the slate above the shower head.
The outside edge of the shower wall as well as the top of the wainscot is finished with Schluter Rondec in a Tuscan bronze finish. This is a metal finishing edge for tile and stone and is available in several different colors and styles to give an installation a clean, finished look rather than just unfinished tile along the top.
If you need a tile installation with that custom touch just give us a call or fill out our contact form to discuss your project. We can create just about any shape or design you can envision. Bring that vision to life!

We recently completed a small hall bathroom shower in Fort Collins. The shower was the typical 6×6 builder’s grade ceramic tile, although this one did have a bit of a design to it with a row diagonally and a frame around it. The bathroom has a window in the middle of the shower (which can…
My last blog post mentioned the recent Staron vanity countertops we installed in Fort Collins. I have received a couple of emails requesting more information about this product so I’ve decided to write up a quick post regarding the Staron as well as a couple of like options. Staron is a hard-surface product used for…
I recently finished up a large porcelain floor with a ‘basketweave’ pattern. The tile is Mannington Serengeti ‘Midnight Mist’ slate porcelain tile. The porcelain is incredible! It looks and feels almost exactly like real slate tile – without the maintenance headaches. Mannington’s Serengeti line has several different colors of porcelain that look and feel like…
We recently finished a complete master bathroom remodel with a complete custom shower, soaking tub surround and 12 x 12 inch marble tile in Fort Collins, Colorado. The existing bathroom consisted of carpet (who ever thought THAT was a good idea?!?!?), a tub surround with a huge, ugly step up to it, and an acrylic…
This is the second post about a kitchen I recently finished in Fort Collins, Colorado. The first post detailed the backsplash in the same kitchen. You can find it HERE. This particular countertop replaced a stainless steel top which had no overhang for the seating side of the counter. In order to add an area…
I’m posting this to show how Schluter Ditra is used. It’s that bright orange stuff you can see from space. 🙂 Ditra is an “uncoupling” membrane for floor and countertop installations. This simply means that it essentially separates the subfloor (the plywood or chipboard) from the tile installed upon it. Any movement in the subfloor…
