What to Use for the Shower Floor

You have finally selected your bath tile, but do you know what you are using for the shower floor? This surface is an important detail that shouldn't be overlooked. It is an opportunity to unify the bath design or make a statement. In addition to aesthetics, there are practical issues to consider, such as the floor slope and slip resistance. Let's take a look at some Houzz showers to see how they were done.

For a clean, continuous look, use the same material on the floor and shower pan. This floor expanse is only broken up by the curb.

Tip: Shower floor tiles should be no larger than 6" x 6", and 4" x 4" or smaller is recommended. There are two reasons for this: One is so there are enough grout lines underfoot to provide traction for slip resistance. The other is that you need small tiles to cover a sloping floor.

Ask your bathroom designer if teak is right for your space
