Eco-Industrial Bathroom Oasis Renovation

This project began as a result of the homeowner recognizing that the shower in their second floor bathroom was not properly waterproofed, causing a leak in the ceiling below. Rather than replace only the subfloor and shower itself, the homeowner decided to expand the scope of work and do a full bathroom renovation.

With the Great Northern Builders team, the homeowner considered a number of bathroom design iterations. The final layout winner was a shift of the previous space in a pretty big way.

The original bathroom design had the sunken bathtub nooked into a corner beneath a staircase going up to the third story. The homeowner decided that they were willing to shift the access to the third story of the home to allow for a layout change up that would line up the new bathtub to have a view out of the large windows.

Great Northern Builders incorporated best practices using the Schluter Systems waterproofing materials for the new shower.

Additional items that stand out in this renovation are the custom-built vanity that is finished in reclaimed wood and has a Dekton Nilium countertop to match the tub deck of the sunken tub.

The shower is finished in Dekton Trilium. The floor tile selected is Genrose Stone ‘Concord White’ modular mosaic and includes radiant floor heat beneath it for those cold Maine winters. The vanity backsplash and tub surround are a beautiful slate gray sliced wall tile from Bati Orient Tile.

The homeowner chose to keep the original window trim moulding and sliding barn door (also finished in reclaimed wood) to complete the bathroom renovation.
