Gray Onyx Walk-In Shower
This Geneva master bathroom shower was built with large-format gray onyx-look porcelain tile installed vertically on all three walls, creating a dramatic floor-to-ceiling pattern that emphasizes the height of the shower enclosure. The vertical orientation meant each tile had to be checked for plumb individually — any drift in the layout accumulates visibly over a tall wall. The brushed brass frameless sliding door was installed by a separate contractor after our tile work was complete and inspected. The shower floor uses the same gray porcelain in a smaller format, set with a consistent pitch toward the center drain.
