Custom Shower Tile Installation
A custom tile shower is one of the most demanding installations in any home. It requires precise planning, reliable waterproofing, and expert tile craftsmanship to ensure the finished space is both visually refined and built to last. At Miter Works, custom shower installations are approached with a detail-driven process that prioritizes durability, clean design, and long-term performance.
As an owner-operated tile company, every custom shower is personally handled from layout planning to final grout. This hands-on approach ensures consistent quality, clear communication, and results that meet the highest standards of professional tile installation.
Precision Planning Before Installation
Great custom showers start long before tile is set. Proper layout design plays a critical role in how a shower looks and functions. Tile patterns are planned to maintain symmetry, center focal points, and avoid awkward cuts whenever possible.
Fixture placement, drain location, and niche positioning are all considered during the planning phase. This attention to layout ensures grout lines align cleanly and the finished shower feels intentional rather than improvised.
Professional Waterproofing and Substrate Preparation
Behind every great-looking shower is a properly prepared structure. Waterproofing is one of the most important aspects of custom shower installation, and shortcuts here can lead to costly problems down the road.
At Miter Works, showers are built using proven waterproofing methods designed to protect against moisture intrusion, mold, and structural damage. Substrates are prepared correctly to create a stable, flat surface that supports tile for long-term performance.
Expert Shower Wall Tile Installation
Shower wall tile must be installed with precision to achieve clean lines, consistent spacing, and a balanced appearance. Tile is carefully measured and cut to maintain uniform grout joints and smooth transitions around corners, fixtures, and niches.
We work with a wide range of materials including porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone, adjusting installation techniques to suit each tile type. Large-format tile, decorative accents, and complex layouts are executed with care to ensure a polished final result.
Custom Niches and Built-In Features
Custom shower niches add both functionality and visual interest when installed correctly. Niches are carefully sized, waterproofed, and aligned with surrounding tile to maintain a cohesive design.
Proper placement ensures niches feel integrated into the shower rather than added as an afterthought. Clean edges, precise cuts, and alignment with grout lines are essential to a professional finish.
Clean Finishes and Long-Lasting Results
The final stages of a custom shower installation are where craftsmanship truly shows. Grout lines are consistent, edges are clean, and all transitions are finished with care. The goal is a shower that not only looks exceptional on day one but continues to perform and age well over time.
Attention to detail during finishing ensures the shower is easy to maintain and resistant to premature wear.
