Walk-In Porcelain Slab Shower in Beach Haven, NJ

This walk-in shower is part of a major renovation of an oceanfront home in Beach Haven, for the same builder behind our Long Beach Island fireplace wall and kitchen backsplash.

We clad every wall in Crystal Ice, a soft, warm white porcelain slab with gentle veining, from the floor to the ceiling. Every outside corner is mitered, so the slab wraps the corner like a solid block of stone, and every joint is filled with epoxy. With large slabs instead of tile, there are only a handful of seams and no grout lines to scrub, which matters in a house that sees sand and summer guests.

Like every shower we build, it sits on a Schluter waterproofing system. These photos were taken as we finished the slab, before the glass went in.
