Shower Tile Installation in Framingham, MAShowers where the lines meet.
Floor-to-ceiling walls, niches, benches and floors, in porcelain, marble, glass and stone.
Showers
A shower is the hardest room to tile well.
Everything shows in a shower. Three walls meet at corners that are rarely square.
A niche, a window, a valve and a drain all have to land on the layout.
Then the floor has to pitch to the drain while the wall joints stay level.
That is the work we like.
We set floor-to-ceiling shower tile, stand-up showers and full bathrooms across MetroWest.
A waterproof system goes in behind the tile, because tile and grout alone do not keep water out.
Bring us the tile you already bought, or call before you buy and we will talk it through.
What we set
What we set in a bathroom.
Floor-to-ceiling walls
Large-format porcelain, marble looks and linear stone looks, run full height with the joints planned.
Niches that line up
One niche or a matched pair, placed so the shelf and the top edge sit on a joint.
Benches and corner seats
Tiled seats that match the wall, with the cuts kept out of the spot you look at most.
Shower floors
Small mosaics and river pebble follow the pitch to a center drain.
Linear drains take larger tile.
Accent walls and bands
A pebble wall, a glass mosaic strip or a mosaic ceiling, set so the band runs straight around the room.
Bathroom floors and tub surrounds
Marble hex, chevron, wood-look plank and subway surrounds, tied in so the room reads as one job.
Before you pick
Three choices that change the job.
None of these is a hard rule. Each one changes how the room looks and how it gets cleaned.
Tile size
Bigger tile means fewer grout lines and less scrubbing.
It also needs a flatter wall, because large tile shows every high spot at the joint.
Porcelain or real stone
Porcelain absorbs very little water and shrugs off most cleaners.
Marble is softer and acids can etch it, so it asks for sealing and gentler products.
Grout color
Matching grout hides the grid and calms a busy tile.
Contrasting grout draws every line, which is why the layout has to be right first.
American Tile installed a beautiful, glass backsplash in our kitchen. We had purchased the tile separately without Rodolfo’s advice, and we made an error in our selection of tile and grout combination. Rodolfo found the best solution, did the job (with great difficulty), made it right and we ended up with a gorgeous backsplash for Christmas entertaining. I would definitely call him again for our next tile project.
Extremely professional, clean and efficient they do an wonderful job in a timely manner!! Rodolfo is very friendly and professional!!
Questions
Asked about showers.
Can you work with tile I already bought?
Yes. Have it on site or send a photo of the box.
If the tile and grout pairing looks like trouble, we will say so before it goes on the wall.
Do you tile just the shower, or the whole bathroom?
Either one. We set shower walls and floors, bathroom floors, tub surrounds and accent walls.
Do you give free estimates for bathroom tile?
Yes, estimates are free. Call or text (774) 498-9736.
Photos of the room and the tile help us give you a straight answer.
Should a shower floor use the same tile as the walls?
Not usually. Smaller tile bends to the pitch better and gives more grip.
A linear drain lets a larger tile run through, as in our marble-look shower above.
