Clean and Refreshing Shower & Tub Enclosures

Posted: February 2, 2009 in Ceramic Tile & Stone, Showers & Tubs By: admin

Trevathan Floors can design and install any size shower and tub enclosure to fit your needs. We can install handicap-accessible showers that feature safety bars, detachable shower heads, and a curbless design to accomodate a wheelchair.

Trevathan’s currently employs the Kerdi System for shower installation. The Kerdi System is the ultimate waterproof system. Kerdi employs a special drain and membrane that stops any water that gets past the tile and directs it straight to the drain. This system prevents the growth of mold and mildew that occurs with conventional showers.

The most common problem with showers is that they retain moisture and eventually leak. This problem is usually due to improper installation. A rule of thumb for tile showers: you get what you pay for. Don’t let a tile installer tell you that they can install tile directly to the drywall. This is a common mistake that always requires a complete tearout and rebuild. Tearing out and rebuilding a shower is much more expensive than doing it right the first time.

Trevathan Floors can also tile around a tub that has a shower head. In as little as a day and a half, tile can be installed from the tub to the ceiling. Another half day can include tile on the ceiling. We can also install a flush-mounted can light in the shower. We contract with the finest glaziers mount the glass doors and panels that complete your exquisite new bathing area.
