Before The Tile

Three Stages Of Every Tile Shower

Most shower photos only show the finished tile. The first two stages are the ones that decide whether a shower lasts, and once the tile goes up nobody sees them again. This is what happens behind the wall on every shower we build.

Stage 1

Down To The Studs

The old shower comes out and the walls open to the framing. Rough plumbing is set before we build anything.

2 inch PVC drain stubbed up where the floor drain goes
Valve and shower head rough-in in place
Blocking in the wall for the niche, the bench and anything that will hang there

Stage 2

Waterproofing And Prep

This is the stage that decides whether a shower leaks. Grout is not waterproof. The membrane is.

Pan built with a slope to the drain, so water never sits
Schluter KERDI membrane over every wall and the pan, tied into the drain
Seams and inside corners overlapped and sealed
Niche and bench wrapped in the same membrane as the walls

Stage 3

Finished Tile

Tile on the walls, the floor and the niche, grouted, and caulked where the shower needs room to move.

Floor tile sized to follow the slope of the pan
Finished edges on every outside corner
Cleaned up before we leave

Mid-State did a great job on our tile project! We couldn't be happier. They were prompt and arrive on time and completed the job on time

We are a contractor who has used Mid State Tile for many jobs, they do excellent work and are just a great company to work with We have even had clients tell us how professional they were while in their home. They are quick with a response and do not have any unexpected upcharges at the end of the project.

We love our new kitchen backsplash that Kim and Jake helped pick out as part of our kitchen remodel. It really shines and matches perfectly with the granite countertops and cabinets. The crew was very meticulous in their work and cleaned up after all was done. We used them in the past with a bathroom remodel and always have great results. Tom and Kara

They did a great job with attention to detail for 2 bathrooms (showers and floors), laundry room floor and kitchen backsplash. I would definitely hire them again!
