Walk-In Shower Installation / Millburn, NJ

Walk-in showers built right behind the tile, not just in front of it

A walk-in shower lives or dies on what's behind the tile. We spec the membrane, the slope, the drain, and the substrate before we ever pick a finish — so the shower stays sealed and looks right years later.

Our approach

Walk-in showers built right behind the tile, not just in front of it

Walk-in showers are one of those projects where the visible part is the easy part. The tile, the fixtures, the glass — those are picked from showrooms. The hard part is everything you can't see: the waterproof membrane, the slope to drain, the substrate, the linear or center drain choice, the wall blocking for the fixtures, and the venting.

We plan all of that in writing before pricing. If you want a curbless entry, we plan the floor framing recess in advance — not as a surprise at demo. If you want a niche, we plan the framing and lighting around it. If the room is small, we plan glass and door swing so the shower doesn't make the bathroom feel cramped.

What this includes

  • Linear or center drain, slope-to-drain, and waterproof membrane planned in
  • Frameless glass, niches, benches, and lighting coordinated with framing
  • Curbless or low-threshold entry options where the floor structure allows

What tends to matter in Millburn

  • Construction realities specific to Essex County homes — older systems behind the walls, layouts that have been added onto over decades, and inspections that take older finishes seriously.
  • Sequencing the work so the household can keep functioning during the project — important when the only full bath or the main kitchen is what's being renovated.

FAQ

Walk-In Shower Installation in Millburn - common questions

What size walk-in shower works best?

Most of the showers we build are 36×60 or larger. Smaller is workable but starts to feel cramped once the door and fixtures are in. We measure the room and walk through the trade-offs before committing.

Do I need a curb or can I go curbless?

Curbless looks great and is the right choice for aging-in-place — but it requires the floor to be recessed at the framing stage, which sometimes means structural work. We check that early so it isn't a surprise.

How is the waterproofing done?

We use a sheet or liquid waterproof membrane behind the tile — not just cement board. The membrane is what actually keeps water out of the wall framing. It's also where most badly-built showers fail.
