Before & After
Before
Floor-to-ceiling marble-look porcelain with linear drain and built-in bench.
About This Project
This Weston master bath shower was a complete gut and rebuild — new waterproofing, new linear drain, a built-in bench, and dual niches, all tiled in a large-format marble-look porcelain. The result is a spa-quality shower that required precise layout and execution.
What Made This Project Successful
Linear drain requires precise slope
A linear drain requires the entire shower floor to slope toward one wall rather than a center point. This requires careful planning and execution to achieve a consistent, even slope.
Large-format tile on walls
Large-format 24×48 tiles on shower walls create a clean, minimal look with fewer grout lines. They require a perfectly flat substrate and careful layout to avoid lippage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a linear drain and a center drain?
A center drain requires the floor to slope from all four sides toward the center. A linear drain requires the floor to slope toward one wall, which allows for large-format tile with fewer cuts and a cleaner look.
