Where did you get it? Manufacturers? Cost? Imported from where? Where can I get it? Is there radiant heat in the flooring? A: Actually this is an exposed concrete floor that was cut and polished. We did not install radiant heat in this project **Q: Glass shower enclosure** *(in Photo Questions)* How was the glass for the shower enclosure attached to floor/wall? Low profile u channel or just silicone? A: We installed recessed channel at the wall and a deeper channel in the ceiling. The glass was siliconed to the shower basin. **Q: can you tell me about the recessed lighting above the floating shelves** *(in Photo Questions)* A: These are standard 4" recessed can light fixtures.
