Calacatta marble porcelain tile installed floor to ceiling in open shower with hexagon mosaic floor — Batavia home

Calacatta Floor-to-Ceiling Shower

This Batavia bathroom shower was built with Calacatta marble porcelain running from the floor to the ceiling on all three walls, with the tile continuing past the shower opening onto the main bathroom wall to create a continuous surface. The floor uses a small hexagon mosaic in a matching Calacatta pattern. A critical detail on this project was keeping the horizontal grout lines continuous from inside the shower to outside — when a tile pattern runs through an opening like this, any misalignment between the interior and exterior courses is immediately visible. We snapped a single horizontal layout line that ran across the full wall surface, inside and outside the shower, before setting a single tile.
