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.

Here are some pictures of a Kerdi shower I installed in Fort Collins, Colorado. The tile is 13 x 9 inch porcelain installed in a running bond (subway) pattern. There are several individual tiles installed with a 2 x 2 inch decorative insert placed in the center of the tile. I also installed one of…
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…
I recently completed a large format subway-style shower with a granite bench seat. Denshield board was installed on the walls of the shower and I used Kerdi-band to waterproof the seams and the edges of the shower bench. Schluter Kerdi-band is a strip of waterproofing Kerdi material that is thinner than regular Kerdi. It can…
We recently finished up a master bathroom remodel in Fort Collins. We began the shower construction with Durock cement board on the walls and a custom shower pan with the kerdi drain. The waterproofing was completed on the walls and floor with Schluter kerdi waterproofing membrane (the orange stuff). Building a shower in this manner…
I’ve recently remodeled two bathroom floors in Erie, CO with two inch octagonal mosaic tile with a small black diamonds or ‘dots’. The two bathroom floors had vinyl flooring. I removed the vinyl and wooden baseboards in both bathrooms and installed a decoupling membrane, the mosaics, and four inch high ‘cove’ tile for the wall…
I recently completed a small basement bathroom remodel in Loveland, Colorado. The existing shower tile was removed and the walls rebuilt and covered with durock cementious backerboard. The existing shower floor waterproofing was questionable so rather than tear it completely out and rebuilding the homeowner opted to just have a topical waterproofing applied to the…
