Compare the components behind the finished work
Schluter KERDI
Bonded sheet waterproofing
A sheet membrane can form the waterproof layer beneath a compatible tiled shower assembly.
Selection check
Seams, corners, penetrations, drain connections and the selected mortar must follow the system instructions. Tile and grout alone are not the waterproof layer.
Coverage and scope
KERDI membranes have a 10-year limited warranty; eligible complete-system programs may differ. Confirm all component and installation requirements.
Daltile
Ceramic and porcelain tile
Tile options differ in size, finish, water absorption and approved location. A wall-only tile is not automatically suitable for a floor.
Selection check
Review the exact tile’s use rating, wet-area suitability, substrate, grout and movement-joint requirements before selecting the pattern.
Coverage and scope
Daltile’s standard tile warranty is limited; specialty collections and system programs have separate terms. Request the exact product warranty.
Simpson Strong-Tie
Structural connectors and fasteners
Connectors transfer forces between specified framing members when installed with the correct compatible fasteners.
Selection check
Selection depends on the loads, wood treatment, exposure and connection geometry. Decorative appearance does not establish structural capacity.
Coverage and scope
Product documentation governs the selected connector. A hardware warranty does not replace structural design or cover an unspecified assembly.
Luna project reference

A shower seat introduces additional corners and horizontal surfaces. Bring photographs, dimensions and any relevant previous repair records to the discussion.
Define the complete selection
Compare bonded sheet waterproofing, ceramic and porcelain tile, structural connectors and fasteners. Specify the selected components and the preparation they require.
Agree on the handoff
Include the bench in the waterproofing drawing. Coordinate material batches, storage and the approvals that release the next stage.
Questions for this project
What should be decided before splitting the work into phases?
Agree on safe interim conditions, usable areas, material storage, trade handoffs and how completed work will be protected. Identify any component that must be installed together rather than treating every item as independently schedulable.
What needs to be confirmed before shower remodeling begins?
Include the bench in the waterproofing drawing. The written scope should also identify the selected products, work boundaries, required trade coordination and approval steps for changes.
Are the listed manufacturers included in every estimate?
No. These are references for comparing product categories. Availability, suitability, the exact model and the actual supplier must be confirmed for the property. A reference does not imply certification, stock or a brand affiliation.
Manufacturer coverage: Terms apply to the exact product and eligible application. Material coverage, complete-system programs and installation workmanship are different obligations. Request the current written warranty and care instructions; a warranty term is not a guaranteed service life. Generic illustrations are original explanatory artwork, not branded packaging.

Coordinate a custom shower with the complete bathroom sequence
A full-room remodel needs decisions in the right order. Drain and valve locations come before wall closure; waterproofing and pan work precede tile; glass is measured after tile; and vanity, countertop, mirror and lighting dimensions must agree. The written scope should also separate owner selections from contractor-supplied materials.
