Key Takeaways / Lessons Learned
-
Planning the slope and drainage is critical for curbless showers: proper subflooring and linear drain placement are essential to prevent water pooling.
-
Heat and tech add value: features like heated flooring and digital valves may increase code/plumbing/electrical complexity, but significantly boost comfort and resale appeal.
-
Material compatibility matters: marble mosaic tile and polished chrome look great, but maintenance and slip resistance must be considered in wet zones.
-
Accessibility blended with luxury draws in clients who want style without giving up functionality — a growing trend in bathroom remodeling in Atlanta.
