ADA-compliant shower installation is also an offered service.
Here's the process:
Demo Work - We will demo your existing shower or bathtub down to the studs and subfloor.
Framing - Next, we will do the framing necessary to enlarge your new shower to accommodate a shower bench and a pitched ceiling.
Insulation - We will insulate (if necessary) the walls and ceiling to make sure that your new shower will retain the heat.
Plumbing - Electrical The next steps to be taken. The steam unit must have a dedicated 240v line to power the unit and in some showers, the exhaust fan will need to be near and vented outside.
The new shower drain most often needs to be moved to compensate for the shower bench. The shower valves and plumbing are installed, not by me but by a licensed plumbing company we work with.
Wallboard - Shower Pan Installation - All of the shower pans that we install are cement poured with the correct tile backer board.
Waterproofing - This step is the most critical aspect of a steam shower installation project. We only install the most reliable and tested membranes on the market today. Like Laticrete Hydro Ban and Schluter-Kerdi. These are the best for me and other tile pros.
Tile Installation - Most tiles sold today can be used in a steam shower however your best choice would be a non-porous tile such as Porcelain, Ceramic, or Glass tiles.
Glass Doors - We can install glass doors depending on the opening of the steam room or steam shower entrance. In most cases, a custom glass door needs to be cut and installed by a glass company near you.

Our steam shower installation services include building and framing your new steam shower according to your design plans and specifications. We make sure to work with you to see your custom steam shower installation project to completion we also work with licensed plumbers and electrical companies for a safe and efficient steam shower.
The shower surface can be tiled with any type of tile. Our first choice in tile installation for steam shower installation projects is porcelain tile, to me, there is no better tile for your steam shower. I think it's the best tile to use because of its durable low maintenance qualities and porcelain tile's heat efficiency. Ceramic tile is also highly valued in steam shower installations as is glass tiles. Marble tile and other natural stone tile can also be installed by our steam shower installer
However, there is more maintenance involved with natural stone tile including tumbled travertine tiles that must be addressed during the waterproofing preparation and sealing of the stone once it is installed on a routine schedule. This will help in the prevention of mold growth that may happen if installation steps are omitted.

Some Things to Keep in Mind -
With all of the stress that every one of us faces nowadays coming home to a relaxing session of steam and bliss is a very good source of stress relief. More and more people are making it a point to budget for a steam shower installation and that's great for me and you.
What Steam Unit Should I Purchase? - When selecting your steam unit do the research. Some who have invested their money in a bathroom renovation have made the mistake of purchasing a lower-end steam unit only to not be able to use the steam shower until the unit can be fixed.
If it can be fixed. And finding the right people near you to service your unit is a subject in itself. Some Steam Generator Options to consider - Thermasol - SteaMist
Will a Window Work in a Steam Shower? - Yes, it is possible. As long as your window is a double-pane window. Most newer homes do have double panes. No heat out and no cold in.
Is Insulation of The Steam Shower Necessary? - Yes, especially when the walls or ceiling is an exterior wall. Insulation ensures that the heat remains in the shower and doesn't escape outside and guards against a cold chill coming in.
What About a Small Shower, Can a Bench be Built? - That's a tough one. After all, you need to sit down to relax while in the steamer. One option is to build a corner seat in the shower. Or buying a folding seat to save space or keeping a chair near by.

Any kind of tile will work for a steam room or steam shower tile installation however there is a difference in each of these tiles concerning the heat efficiency of the steam generator that will be installed for your bathroom shower installation
project.
The most efficient tile that is non-porous and does the best job at retaining the heat that is generated is a quality porcelain tile followed again by a quality ceramic and glass tile.
Natural stone also can be installed but will require more maintenance with sealing the stone every year or two depending on how frequently the steam unit is used. However, for a large steam room or steam shower, it may be wiser to select a non-porous tile as mentioned.
The best and most heat-efficient shower installation features porcelain tile that can be set in a horizontal or vertical pattern depending on the tile design. The grout lines can match in straight lines or be offset in a brick pattern.
The steam shower ceiling and shower pan floor pictured here are tiled with natural stone tiles. In small or large steam shower installations the minimum use of stone tiles mainly on the ceiling or shower pan will not affect the efficiency of the steam generator whereas a larger amount of stone tiles could be affected negatively.
