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.

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…
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.

With the recent economic situation people have begun a major shift in their mindset about home ownership. Where there was once a large ‘fix-and-flip’ mentality there is now a growing realization that houses actually make great homes! Rather than viewing property as a short-term investment people are beginning to seek out viable long-term upgrade projects…
I just finished up a ceramic tile kitchen with the countertops on point (diagonally) and the backsplash straight. We decided, as I will often suggest, that the countertop be installed diagonally. The reason I prefer this is that most kitchen countertops are 25 inches deep from the front to the wall. This being the case…
