Hamilton Tile and Stone recently completed this beautiful shower in Lake Elsinore Ca. Our customers selected this nice porcelain tile from Arizona Tile in Murrieta.
The porcelain wall tile is placed into the polymer modified thinset for a permanent bond that will last for years and years. Modified thinset is required to bond porcelain due to its extremely low absorption rate.

In this shower the client selected the Better Bench. This stainless steel bench is filled with drypack mortar before installing tile.

After installing the wall tile and accessories the floor is given another coat of water proofing and allowed to dry.
The floor is given another coat of RedGuard waterproofing
After everything is dry we grout with sanded polymer modified grout. Our customer selects the color of their choice.
After the thinset mortars have cured the tile is grouted
This shower is complete and ready to use after a 24 hour cure.
A look at the better bench
What a nice transformation. This space used to hold a cream colored fiberglass shower with a bath tub. Buy converting to a shower we have created a much roomier shower with more floor space and ample room for a bench.
Completed shower ready for glass doors
