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.

    The brick is sealed. It doesn't get moldy because it is an open shower and the brick is a good 6' from the showerhead.

    Thanks for the reply! I love the original brick, thrilled it can be used in a bathroom.

    what did you use to seal the brick? we're doing a similar wall in our stall, however it's probably only about 4' away from the shower head.

    We are looking at extending our shower out to include the outside brick wall as one wall in the shower. The shower head would not be six inches from the brick wall, it would definitely get wet. If we seal the brick will that be enough to keep it from deteriorating? Would really appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!
