Shower Installation FAQ
Common questions about shower installation in Rainier Valley
What drain type is best for a walk-in shower?
Linear drains are our top recommendation for walk-in and curbless showers — they allow the floor to slope in one direction (instead of four), which makes large-format tile installation possible. Center drains work fine for mosaic-tiled floors.
Can you add a steam feature to my new shower?
Yes — we can install steam generators with proper vapor barriers and sloped ceilings. Steam showers require specific waterproofing and ventilation, which we handle. Popular add-on for spa-like master bathrooms.
How do you handle the transition from shower to bathroom floor?
For curbed showers, we build a tile-wrapped curb at the threshold. For curbless showers, we use a gentle slope transition and often a linear drain at the threshold. Both approaches prevent water from reaching your Rainier Valley bathroom floor.
