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!

Tile, more than any other flooring, has the ability to literally last as long as the structure in which it is installed – or longer. For instance, the photo to the right is part of a Roman mosaic known as the “Great Pavement” at Woodchester, Gloucestershire, England. It measures 48 feet by 48 feet and…
I just finished a small bathroom with porcelain tile. The shower has tile to the ceiling and a travertine listello band. The floor has matching porcelain tile. The floor was installed over Hardibacker underlayment. The shower was installed with Schluter Kerdi waterproofing membrane over the top of the drywall. Another example of how Kerdi can…

I’ve recently completed a full bathroom remodel in Fort Collins, Colorado. The remodel included a full standing shower, jacuzzi tub, floor, vanity top, and backsplash. The project began when the homeowner discovered a leak in the existing shower bench. Improperly (or non-existent) waterproofing on the shower walls and bench led to a leaking bench corner…

Kerdi-board is a waterproof polystyrene tile substrate with the kerdi membrane bonded to it. It is installed in lieu of cement backerboard or other shower substrates. The tile…
