My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What kind of material is on the walls

14 years ago
I love the simplicity of your walls in the shower.. what kind of material is it? Concrete?? I am trying to find a blog that has information on doing a concrete wall in the shower.. but I wasn't sure if this is what you have on yours, it is gorgeous!

    Hi Jacqueline. The floor and the walls are 'Milestone' an hybridized acrylic cement plaster. Here's a website that describes it well - http://www.artisanfinishes.com/pages/home.htm
    Thanks for your interest.

      Thanks, that website was great.... I need to look into somewhere around me that sells that.

      chadbourne+doss - curious if you have heard from homeowner how the Milestone has held up over time. any issues with keeping it clean/mildew/re-sealing? thinking of doing this for a build we are working on up on Orcas.

      Hi. We've used it on several projects, including our own home. How well it holds up of course depends on the installer. Pay extra attention to stabilizing the joints at vertical and horizontal transitions to avoid any movement.
      We really like the white color because it's easy to clean with a light rinse and a 'Magic Eraser'. Darker colors show soap scum in a shower and may need a light scrubbing. Resealing is easy with wax. Good luck!

      Thanks for the reinforcement. :) From the colors listed, we were planning on the 'raw canvas' (white) aggregate finish, which seems like the cleanest look. Will get mockups from the installer though...
