See the finish in detail.
What should you check first?
Make clear on a sketch where shower, bath, sink and ventilation are located. Specify which surfaces are tiled and which remain visible. A seamless appearance is a design choice; the suitability must be substantiated with the complete system structure.
How does this affect your choice?
Discuss quay, corners, inputs and connections to plumbing. There, the various work has to be closely linked. Let us record who is responsible for the substrate, sealing and final finishing.
Planning the next step
Ask for cleaning and maintenance of the chosen finish. Protective layers and product restrictions vary. Save the instructions and consultation before using other cleaning agents. A good choice fits with daily use as well as the substrate and details.
Practical checklist
- Draw the moisture zones
- Capture input
- Ask for the complete system
- Store maintenance instructions

More advice for your project
Draw the water load on a simple sketch
Make visible on a map where the shower comes out, where water can splash and where a wall stays mainly dry. Then discuss the substrate, sealing and final finishing. This way you prevent one decorative product from being chosen for the entire bathroom without looking at the different loads.
Discuss these points for your home
- Take the floor-wall connection and insert.
- Specify niches and built-in cranes separately.
- Align the boundary between tiles and plastering.
