Colours on screen are approximate; confirm them against the chosen tile and grout samples. Layouts use compatible tile shapes. Mallet Tile installs the products you select. Final cuts and joint positions depend on the room measurements and chosen material.

Planning your curbless shower tile installation.

The written scope should make each layer and responsibility clear instead of relying on a broad waterproofing promise: Existing structure and floor-height strategy; Drain model, location and plumbing responsibility; Slope and tile-layout approach; Waterproofing system and transition details; Glass, penetrations, inspection and testing responsibilities. The written estimate should name any condition that still needs an on-site check rather than treating it as already confirmed.

Your tile installation questions.

Answers about tile installation, preparation and planning.

Can any bathroom be changed to a curbless shower?

Not on the same plan. The available structure, floor height, drain route, room size and adjacent finishes determine which options are practical. An on-site assessment is needed before the assembly is confirmed.

Can large tile be used on a curbless shower floor?

Sometimes. The drain type and slope geometry must work with the tile dimensions and finish. The approved layout should show the required cuts and transitions before setting begins.

How should waterproofing be checked?

Use one compatible assembly and document the drain, seams, corners, penetrations and doorway transition. The scope should state any required inspection or water test and who records it before the work is covered.

Does a curbless shower project need municipal approval?

It depends on the complete project and local rules, especially when plumbing, structure or room use changes. Ask the municipality for the project address and coordinate required electrical notification separately.
