Mold-Free Shower Rebuild in Cherry Hill, NJ

The homeowner had fought mold in this shower since the day they moved in. Bleach only held it off for a while. During demolition we found why: the shower floor had been built with no slope, so water sat trapped under the tile.

Demolition also turned up unused space behind the shower head. We took down the faucet wall, reworked the plumbing and built a much larger shower. Large-format tile cuts down on grout lines, and an envelope-cut floor lets us use bigger tiles on the floor while still draining properly. A Grohe Grohtherm three-fixture faucet adds a spray head, rain head and hand shower. Recessed lighting highlights the decorative strip, and a hidden niche in the half wall adds storage.
