Marble Bathroom Remodel in Thornton
This full bathroom retile in a Thornton home involved removing the original builder-grade ceramic, inspecting the framing behind the shower walls, and rebuilding the wet area with cement board and a full Laticrete Hydro Ban waterproofing membrane before any tile was set. The homeowner chose a large-format marble-look porcelain with a consistent vein pattern, which required us to book-match the tiles on the back wall for a continuous stone effect.
The terrazzo floor tile was set separately, with a linear drain that required precise slope work in the mortar bed. All wall-to-floor transitions use silicone caulk rather than grout per TCNA guidelines for wet areas.
