These are the last two showers that I have done.
Both are do e o,ld school.
Pre-slope, liner concrete, dense shield, cement board, Kerri in the corners and on the curb and finally red guard.
Hope this all works

 

How much overhang do you have on the shower threshold on the interior of the shower? I don't see much on the outside. I like a bit more on the outside.

BTW, they look really nice!

 

These are the soap dishes made for the job

 

here is a plank tile project we finished in Lutz, Florida couple weeks ago.
tile was a Florida Tile 6x24 "Berkshire" Olive. around 1200 sq.ft.

 

That wood plank sure looks nice. :thumbsup:

 

It's approx 3/8 of an inch each side.
I cut the stone strips at one inch x36 and the stone is about 5/8 x36
lots of cutting

 

repairing a leaky 10 or 15 year old shower in Warren Twp. I thought it was going to be the usual, but this one was a nice fiberglass pan.

It was leaking from the normal places, around the curb, around the bunch, down the side of the pony wall, low backer fasteners all corroded through, even a little between the bottom of the FG and the clamping flange.

It's a really nice house in a really nice neighborhood... the tile installer did a great job with the crema marfil... too bad the prep work was not there...

 

why cant i upload a majority of these pics....

whatever, basic doom and gloom, black moldy wet decaying sub structure we tore out and replaced.

Preped it out with a Kerdi drain and Kerdi board, this surface mounted membrane covers all penetrations and keeps the water out of the mud bed under it making it more hygienic.

 

Just finishing this one up currently. Nothing fancy but customer loved it.

Will add the other pics when I finish up.

 

Leaky shower with major subfloor damage

I used the dal membrane for the linear but used roll on membrane for the cement board. We did the whole bathroom remodel but not the painting. It's getting painted this week so hopefully in the next few weeks I can go back and take some final pics with the glass in on the shower.

finished up this powder room in Long Valley. We used SpectraLock epoxy grout on the floor to keep it stain resistant and cleanable.

 

Here's a back room we just did in Sarasota, Florida.
Plank tile installed was Ceramica Sant'Agostino 6x48 "Nut".
The MLT System was used to keep the long planks flat.
Laticrete PermaColor #55 Tawny was the grout.

 

make sure you use the thin tile plated with MLT:sad:

seriously though, after using it, i really like it....

 

yeah, I use the thin or porcelain bottom plates on all.
not a fan of the rake style bottom plate. dont like the curve.

 

I started a kitchen yesterday, it will be a three day install lol Im too old to be on my knees that long,,

Did all the field tile now I've got 39 cuts and grout on the lords day!!

So do you like it better than TLS?

 

they are both good, one is newer and has been thought out a little better. the TLS is fast to assemble and does a great job at helping you hold tile together flat.

the MLT has advantages of being priced lower (once set up) for the bottom plates, you use less plastic since the straps are reusable, you can remove the caps if you have to add more thinset or take out a tile that is damaged, etc., it also has a wider footprint for pressure, there's also options on bottom plates, (standard, thin tile & natural stone/planks).

Standard plate

Special plate for stone and marbles or plank

ultra-thin material plates

 

i'v only used it once on this shower and it has pros and cons. all in all, for me, i think they make a good team. MLT on larger areas and TLS in corners and on small pieces

 

Installed a glass & metal tile backsplash this week in Gulfport/St. Pete, Florida. new kitchen remodel at the Pasadena Yacht & Country Club.
customer wanted it done before Thanksgiving. we came highly
recommended from another customer we did a glass backsplash for.

 

^^Very nice. What's the edge at the ends? Looks like marble strips.

 

its 2 strips of the 5/8" wide stainless pieces used as edging.

 

Subway tiled walk-in shower done in sewickley, pa

 

looks good the only thing i might comment on is centering your herringbone in the niche.

I really like the simplicity and clean lines. Are those quarter rounds around the perimeter of the pan and outside the curb?

They are base cove pieces. This was all American Orleans tile

 

sweet, i have an AO subway tub coming up

 

Is that considered a herringbone pattern? I would have thought it would need to repeat again.
Not trying to be a dk, just asking.

Semi herringbone.

 

another repair in West Caldwell, this one in travertine on a jetted Kohler tub. Leaked through the wall every shower, they had 2 grout services come and sell them on re-grout and sealers and more caulking. All these solutions were trapping more water in the wall making the problem worse.

here's where we are at with the re-build

 

I like the set. Nice work.
