Open-Entry Corner Shower
This open-entry corner shower in a St. Charles master bathroom was built with large Calacatta marble porcelain on three walls and a small hexagon mosaic floor with a central drain. The open entry — no door, no curb — required a properly pitched mortar bed on the shower floor to direct water toward the drain without any barrier to catch overflow. The floor pitch was built at a consistent 1/4 inch per foot slope from all four directions toward the linear drain position. Dual vanities flank the shower entry on both sides, and the wall tile continues past the shower and behind each vanity for a unified look across the full bathroom wall.
