Curbless shower remodel with 12x24 tile in Hudson, New Hampshire

Homeowner wanted a curbless shower for her master bath remodel in Hudson, New Hampshire. As she was elderly, and didn't want the nuisance of stepping over a curb every time she walked in shower.

We removed a section of the existing subfloor to drop down a tray area to build a mud slope for the tile floor inside shower.

We recessed sistered framing on existing floor joists. Braced the perimeter of subfloor around cutout. Then cut pieces of plywood to fit within the recessed areas. Thus, dropping the subfloor to the depth of top of joist.

Then installed building paper and lath and mudded a slope for the shower pan towards a newly installed drain flange.

We then taped and mudded seams of cement board and coated all the tile prep materials installed with 3 coats of Laticrete HydroBan. A prime coat the first day, and 2 additional coats the day after.

Customer asked if we could add a built-in wall niche. So we accommodated her request and framed that in to go with layout of the wall tile.

We then installed 12x24 tiles vertically on wall in a modern, minimalist grid.

Pieced together one by one a pebble stone mosaic shower floor. And installed 12x24 floor tile outside of shower in rest of bathroom.

There was just an added day of labor to transform the tile shower remodel into a curbless entry option for this customer.

Everybody is human. Mistakes happen. But, we can help fix it. We were called to quote removal of white subway tile shower with black grout. Done by a design/install team in Amherst, New Hampshire. The grout color choice only highlighted the inconsistent lines of tile spacing by previous installer. Which, for setting all the tile pieces in just one day. Wasn't all that bad, to be honest.
