The Bluerock Journal

The window is the part worth looking at. A window sitting inside a wet wall is where a lot of showers start leaking, so the sill gets pitched and waterproofed before any tile goes near it, and the surround is cut so the grout lines carry straight off the wall and onto the sill without a jog.

The floor is penny round in black, white, and grey, pitched to a center drain. Small mosaic is the right call underfoot because the grout joints give you grip and the sheet flexes into the pitch instead of fighting it. The bench, the curb, and every outside corner carry the same black trim, which is what keeps a busy floor from reading as noise.

Matte black throughout: rain head, handheld on a slide bar, two round valves.

Two of the shots below are from mid-build, before the glass went in and while the window was still papered over. We leave those in on purpose. The finished photo is the easy one to show. The one behind it is where the job gets decided.
