Shower Waterproofing in Falmouth, MA
What goes behind the tile matters first.
Apex Tile and Services waterproofs showers with a membrane system before tile is installed: walls, shower pan, niches, benches and every seam and corner. Apex Tile and Services is based in Falmouth, MA.
The Scope, Clearly
Tile and grout are finishes. The membrane behind them is what keeps water inside the shower, so it is installed and detailed before the first tile goes on.
Walls & pan
Membrane over shower walls and the sloped shower pan.
Seams & corners
Overlapping seams, inside and outside corners sealed with preformed pieces.
Penetrations
Valve, shower head and drain openings sealed as part of the system.
Niches & benches
Niches and benches wrapped in membrane like the rest of the shower.
Decisions Worth Making Early
These choices shape the finished result. We walk through them with you during planning.
- 01Shower size, drain location and drain type.
- 02Niche and bench positions, so they are framed before waterproofing.
- 03Whether the project includes a curbless or low-curb entry.
