When it comes to home renovation projects, bathroom remodeling is often part of the equation. As one of the most frequently used spaces in any household, the bathroom deserves serious consideration.

Whether you're looking to enhance the functionality, aesthetics, or both, upgrading your bathroom can make a significant impact on the overall appeal and value of your home. Many homes in the Pacific Northwest are originally built with fiberglass shower.

 At Tubro Construction, we have remodeled bathrooms all over King and Pierce County. So, if you're ready to transform your bathroom into a luxurious retreat or simply want to give it a fresh new look, consider these facts about upgrading your fiberglass shower to a new tile shower

Unlike fiberglass showers, which may show signs of wear and tear over time, tile showers offer a long-lasting solution that can withstand daily use without compromising its appearance or functionality.

The use of high-quality tiles and grout ensures that your shower will maintain its pristine condition for years to come. At Tubro Construction, we utilize a waterproofing system underneath our tile shower installations called Wedi from wedicorp.com

Their products are crafted using top-notch closed cell extruded polystyrene foam, making them 100% waterproof. This ensures that water cannot penetrate behind the tiles, preventing any potential damage, mold growth, or costly repairs down the line. We have certified installers of the Wedi system on our crew to ensure proper installation every time.

One of the main advantages of tiled walls in bathrooms is the ease with which they can be cleaned. Unlike other materials, such as painted walls or wallpaper, tiles are resistant to moisture and stains. This makes them highly suitable for shower areas where water splashes and humidity are common. In addition to the tiles themselves, proper grout maintenance is crucial for keeping your tile shower looking fresh and clean.

Grout is the material that fills the gaps between tiles, and over time it can become discolored or even develop mold or mildew if not properly maintained. Regularly cleaning your grout with a mild detergent or specialized grout cleaner will help prevent dirt buildup and discoloration.

 Additionally, applying a grout sealer every six months creates a protective barrier that repels stains and makes future cleaning easier. For deep cleaning or regular grout sealing, please consider calling Tubro Carpet Cleaning for all of your tile and hard surface cleaning needs.
