In this Sequim remodel our clients needed perfect craftsmanship preformed to be able to achieve this amazing dream Mr.Steam Curbless Shower with a heated Shower Pan and Bench, and gorgeous Masterbath with a walk through wet room and adjoining Walk-in closet project.
Walking into these rooms as they were just bare studs and being able to visualize the final goal was a challenge that we at Above and Beyond were totally happy to take on head first. And what a challenge this was. The free standing Stone tub alone had to have reinforced framing to support it, and had to have an outside wall removed just to get it into the bathroom.
For the materials, we used a Trek 12x24 large format tile in a Vulcan color for all of the floors and for a 5 inch tiled base trim. For the shower walls and Bench we used a Freedom 12x24 large format tile in an Iron Oxide. And for the Curbless Pan and Sauna we used a Freedom 2x2 Mosiacs tile also in the Iron Oxide color to match perfectly and give us the right form for the slope to a Linear Infinity drain with a Tileable drain grate. Since this is a Mr. Steam shower we wanted to make sure all surfaces were warmed to the touch so I installed a Schluter Heating system across the whole pan and into the sauna and across the top of the bench. To make sure we had a warm transition, I also installed a Schluter Heated floor through-out all of wet room, master bath (except under tub and river rocks), and walk-In closet. And I used a Schluter WIFI Programmable Thermostat that connects to Amazon, Google Home, Alexa, and numerous other Home security systems that allow for an easy, speakable access that is super user friendly. For the vanity wall we used a Fremmenta Palladiana Matte Mosaics in a Dark Grey color. Now these come in sheets and we didnt want sheet lines anywhere, so I removed them from the sheets and single set every piece. For the grout I used a Polyurethane grout in a Stone Grey color for the vanity, and a Charcoal color for the floors and shower. Also behind the Free Standing Tub I installed another Linear Infinity Hidden drain with a tileable drain grate as an over flow drain for the tub. Under the floating vanity I wanted to make sure my clients feet were comfortable so I removed the old vent register and built a custom Chameleon tileable drain thats perfectly flush with the surrounding tiles. All edge were capped with a Schluter Trimline Jolly Edging in an Anthricite color that matched the tile perfectly. In the rotunda room our clients really wanted that wow factor on their firepace, so I installed an Eldorado Stacked Stone in a Black River color that totally accents and finishes the wall completing the project.
In this Project I want to give thanks to a team of professionals that were able to come together and make such a beautiful project become a dream for our clients. Something they are going to cherish for years and years.
