We’re still waiting on TCNA approval for the peanut butter mortar and raspberry jam grout system… but for now we’ll stick to the real stuff. 💪🏼
Behind every tile shower are dozens of ANSI standards, TCNA installation methods, waterproofing requirements, substrate specifications, movement joint considerations, mortar coverage requirements, and drainage details that all work together as a complete system.
The demo photos here are from shower replacements less than 8 years old that had already experienced major water intrusion and system failure.
A properly built shower is much more than tile and grout, it’s a fully engineered waterproof assembly designed to perform for decades when executed correctly.
That’s why we place so much emphasis on prep work, waterproofing, and system design long before the finish tile ever goes in.
