This client did a complete master bathroom remodel with Pittsburgh Corning Icescapes Glass Block in two windows at either end of his shower. They also desired a dramatic look to their new ceramic tile shower. The answer was a Riolito Shower Base with a new design that allows larger tile to be used on the floor area. The long rectangular drain is what allows larger tile to be used. Masonry & Glass Systems installed the glass block and provided design assistance and Wedi materials for the project. The customer also wanted a large area to store soaps and shampoo and he designed a custom soap niche from Wedi 3 x 5 x 1/2 inch boards. The project looks terrific and Masonry & Glass Systems is proud to have played a part.
