Calacatta Shower with Brass Sliding Door
This South Elgin townhome master bathroom shower was built as a full gut-and-replace — the original builder-grade tub was removed and replaced with a walk-in shower using Calacatta marble-look porcelain tile on all three walls and a matching floor. The frameless sliding door with brushed brass rail was installed by a glass contractor after our tile work was complete. For the sliding door to operate correctly, the wall tile had to terminate at a perfectly plumb and flat vertical line on both sides of the opening. We used a laser level to establish this line before setting the first tile and checked it again after each row. The shower floor uses a matching Calacatta mosaic with a center drain.
