Shower Panned

As you know, the bathroom did not get completely tiled while Will was out of town, but progress was still made. The shower pan was tiled, and that is a big deal as that is a big space. It is 6 feet wide and 3 feet deep. You can see the haze of the cement mud on the tiles, so that is not the final color, but you can see the two tiles next to each other:


The "bull nose" tile was also laid up the one side of the shower in order to get needed measurements for the deflector glass that we will have to enclose the shower. Due to the restrictions of the stairwell, we have to make the glass shorter than we expected. It will be about 69 inches high and about 40 inches wide. Meaning, looking at the bottom photo, the glass will be as high as the first seam down from the ceiling one can see in the dura rock. And, if you look back at the preceding photo, the glass will start at the seam of the third full-size cream tile from the right. Got that?


It will take 7 days to get that glass here and installed. The new deadline for the tile completion is now Friday. It should be easier to complete now that contractors can stand on the floor of the bathroom and shower and get the rest of the tiles laid.

Hi there,
I was googling for the Folio Artistica Meteor tile, and your website came up. Can you tell me where you bought it? The only place I found is Mosaic Tile, but they have a long back order. Just trying to find another source. Thanks for your help! The bathroom looks great!!
