Step 2: Waterproofing is the foundation of “luxury”
In a coastal area, waterproofing and moisture control are non‑negotiable. True luxury is a bathroom that still looks and smells clean years later.
A professional waterproofing approach should include:
- Proper shower pan and wall waterproofing system
- Careful detailing at corners, niches, and benches
- Waterproofed transitions where tile meets other materials
- Correct slope and drainage planning (so water doesn’t sit)
You’ll never see most of this work once tile goes up—which is exactly why it matters so much.
