We dropped the subfloor so we could create a curbless wet room, which meant thinking through every layer before anything was installed. The layout had to be dialed in so the plumbing for the tub and shower were perfect. We also needed to make sure the bench, niche, and fixtures all landed exactly where we wanted them
But the most important part is what you don’t see.
Proper waterproofing is everything in a space like this. We used @schlutersystemsna to make sure water stays in the wet room and won’t have any chance of traveling anywhere else.
We also ran in-floor heat throughout the room, including the shower floor. It adds comfort, but it also helps dry out any standing water in the wet area. We used Ditra Heat Duo for this. It provides an uncoupling membrane for the tile, while also allowing for in floor heat and a thermal blanket underneath which helps with both sound and energy efficiency.
Good design makes it beautiful.
Good building makes it last.
Built right.

As a dad, I care about safety.
The @napoleonfireplace Luminex Fireplace checks both boxes. Realistic flames, built-in crackling audio, real heat output, and a surface that stays safe to touch.
That’s how you build comfort without compromise.
