I had the great pleasure of working with a new customer located in Hudson, Ohio. The objective was to create a master bathroom that was eye-catching and modern. So we decided to go with a gray and white scale look with multiple tile patterns throughout the master bathroom.
Tile patterns used on this project included: Brick Pattern, Soldier Pattern, and (my favor) diamond pattern.
We decided to go with a diamond pattern on the floor just to give this bathroom a unique look that was eye-catching at first look. I then added brick pattern to the lower half of the shower walls followed by a mosaic accent trip. Above the accent strip, we decided to go with soldier pattern to give this shower a super cool, unique look. Needless to say, the customers are very happy with the finished project.
Challenges
The biggest challenge with had on this job was the floor. It was not perfectly level so I had to apply leveling compound to get the floor smooth enough to install the porcelain tile. we also had to use a 1/2″x1/2″ trowel on the shower walls to make up for any inconsistencies. This allowed us to install the tile perfectly plumb to accommodate for the frameless glass shower door.
