Full-Coverage Marble Walk-In Shower in Justice

Walk-in shower in Justice IL fully clad in dramatic gray and white large-format marble slab tiles with built-in bench

This walk-in shower in a Justice home used large-format gray and white marble-look porcelain on all three walls, the floor, and the built-in bench. Full-coverage marble applications like this require particular attention to the continuity of the veining across panels. We dry-laid the tiles before installation to find the arrangement that made the veining pattern flow most naturally from wall to wall. The bench was built with a concrete backer before the tile was applied, and the bench top received a slight pitch toward the shower floor to prevent water from pooling. The linear drain at the back wall meant the floor tile was set with a four-directional slope to the drain channel rather than a single-point drain slope, which requires more careful mortar bed work to execute correctly.

What We Did

1Dry-laid all tile panels to plan the veining arrangement across three walls and bench before installation began.
2Applied sheet waterproofing membrane throughout, including all surfaces of the bench structure.
3Floated a four-directional mortar bed for the floor slope to the linear drain channel.
4Set wall, bench, and floor tile in the planned arrangement, grouted, and sealed the installation.
