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.

Tiles as accent in shower

10 years ago
I was thinking of having a strip around the shower and vanity in our bathroom., including the niche. One review said no. Is this the case if it is simply a strip? Thank you

    Hi Betty - if the water would be hitting on it constantly I would not have it in the shower but if water won't be hitting on it, it is fine to use.

    Since this would be an accent strip, water would not be beating on it all the time, but water may splash on it during a shower. Will this tile be all right under this circumstance? Thanks for clarifying.

    The tile sample you sent does not look nearly as colorful as your picture. The tile is actually very dull, rather than strikingly colorful as you show on your website. What a disappointment!

    is it possible to order a sample? Or do I order a full sheet? Can i return if it's not right?

    Hi Stuchler - you can order a sample. As for returning you can return a full sheet not the sample.
