Tiled Walk-in Showers
When buying a house, homeowners typically have a mental checklist of wants, needs, and must-haves. Often, buyers meet a moment where they have to ask themselves a difficult question: What can I live without? For over a decade, Brytech Construction has noted what our homeowners need and want in their homes. Our semi-custom homes aim to meet your family’s needs and wants while maintaining affordability and home functionality.
One area most homeowners can agree on is the bathroom. Buyers need space, cleanliness, aesthetic appeal, and functionality. To check these boxes, the standard features of the primary bathrooms in all Brytech Construction homes include a double-sink vanity, a private toilet, and a shower. For those who desire the highest quality, a custom-tiled walk-in shower is offered. Space, cleanliness, aesthetic appeal, and functionality, check.
Below are some reasons why tiled walk-in showers are so well received in our semi-custom and custom home primary bathrooms.
Provides a sleek and modern look - A tiled shower is a timeless and stylish addition that accentuates the bathroom's overall design. The clean lines of tiles create a fresh, polished look. Tile customization suits any style preference, and overall, a tiled shower creates a sense of openness and sophistication in the shower area.
Customizable - The possibilities are endless, from selecting the size and shape of the tiles to choosing a color palette that matches your aesthetic preferences. Whether you prefer a sleek modern look with large-format tiles in neutral tones or a more traditional style with intricate mosaic patterns in vibrant hues, tiled showers can suit your unique taste and vision. Mixing and matching different tiles, colors, and finishes allows limitless creativity, ensuring that your shower truly reflects your personal style.
Easy to clean and maintain - The smooth surface of the tiles allows for quick wiping or squeegeeing after each use, minimizing soap scum and water stains. Sealed grout lines create a protective barrier against moisture and dirt buildup, further simplifying the cleaning process. Regular maintenance with mild cleaners ensures a tiled walk-in shower remains hygienic and appealing.
Resistant to mold and mildew—Tiled walk-in showers are resistant to mold and mildew due to the non-porous nature of ceramic or porcelain tiles. Non-porous tiles provide an inhospitable environment for mold and mildew growth as they do not absorb water like other materials. The grout lines between tiles may require periodic sealing to prevent moisture penetration. Still, overall, the smooth surface of tiles makes it difficult for mold spores to take hold and proliferate. Regular cleaning and proper ventilation further contribute to maintaining a mold-free shower environment.
Durable and long-lasting - Tiles are typically made from materials such as ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone, which are known for their toughness and ability to withstand daily wear and tear. These materials resist water damage, staining, and scratches, making them ideal for a shower environment.
Increases the value of your property - Investing in a walk-in tile shower can lead to a higher resale value and increased interest from prospective buyers. Tiled showers are also known for their durability and low maintenance, which adds to the overall appeal for homebuyers.
Although tiled walk-in showers are a fantastic feature inside a primary bathroom, your vision is our ultimate goal. If you prefer a tub or soaker bath or desire dual shower heads and heated tiled flooring, we can make your dream bathroom a reality. Providing a house where homeowners feel their needs and wants are met is the Brytech Way.
