Calacatta Wet Room
Curbless wet room with bookmatched Calacatta marble shower walls, a floating marble bench, a fully tiled linear-drain floor, and large-format porcelain throughout.
Scope
Curbless wet room with bookmatched Calacatta marble shower walls, a floating marble bench, a fully tiled linear-drain floor, and large-format porcelain throughout.
Materials
- Bookmatched Calacatta marble slabs
- Large-format porcelain floor tile
- Linear trench drain
- Schluter KERDI waterproofing membrane
Challenge
A curbless wet room leaves nowhere to hide a mistake — the bookmatched marble had to mirror precisely across the corner, the floor had to slope to a single linear drain without breaking the large-format grid, and every transition had to stay watertight.
Result
A curbless Calacatta wet room where the bookmatched veining reads as one continuous slab, the floor drains cleanly to a single linear channel, and the shower and tub share one uninterrupted porcelain floor.
Installation notes
What made the detail work.
Laid out the bookmatched slabs so the veining mirrors into a clean chevron across the shower corner.
Built and waterproofed a curbless floor pitched to a single linear trench drain.
Mitered the floating marble bench and detailed the wall-to-floor transitions for tight, even joints.
