Custom Tile Shower Installation Loxahatchee
IJC Floors Inc builds custom tile showers for homeowners in Loxahatchee and throughout Palm Beach County, Florida.

Custom Tile Shower Installation in Loxahatchee
A custom tile shower is built from tile selected for that shower rather than a prefinished surround, which is what gives it a designed look. Palm Beach County homeowners choose a custom tile shower when they want the wall tile, floor tile, pattern, and grout to read as one planned surface — with a niche, an accent band, or a mosaic floor that fits the bathroom rather than a generic panel.
The visual difference comes from the details. Large-format wall tile reads as a clean, modern surface with fewer grout lines, while a mosaic floor tile adds texture and grip. Grout color changes how the whole shower reads — a matching grout reads as one surface, a contrasting grout emphasizes each tile. And because the shower meets the bathroom floor, the two are planned together so the surfaces coordinate.
A custom tile shower can stand alone or be part of a broader bathroom remodel. The existing shower and any signs of moisture are reviewed before the new tile is planned, and the selected tile is chosen to be appropriate for its intended surface and application.

Shower Tile Sizes, Patterns, Colors & Design Details
These are the tile decisions that shape a custom shower, from format to how the grout reads across the walls.
Large-Format Shower Tile
Larger wall tiles create fewer grout lines and a clean, modern surface, with the layout planned so the tiles fall evenly.
Subway & Rectangular Tile
Rectangular tile in a stack, running bond, or vertical pattern adds a classic or contemporary line to the shower walls.
Mosaic Shower Floor Tile
Smaller mosaic tile is common on the shower floor for grip and slope, coordinated in color with the walls.
Accent Tile
An accent band or feature strip adds a designed detail, planned with the wall layout so it lands cleanly.
Niche Tile
A built-in niche is a natural place for accent tile, finished so it reads as part of the wall.
Grout Color
A matching grout reads as one surface; a contrasting grout emphasizes each tile. Grout is chosen with the tile and the room.
Wall-to-Floor Coordination
Shower wall and floor tile are coordinated so the shower reads as one designed space.

What makes a tile shower custom?
A custom tile shower is built from individually selected tile rather than a prefinished surround, so the wall tile, floor tile, pattern, grout, and niche are chosen and installed for that specific shower. The design is planned to the bathroom rather than pulled from a kit.
Can different tile sizes be combined in one shower?
Yes. Large-format wall tile can be combined with a mosaic floor tile or an accent band, and the layout is planned so the different sizes meet cleanly. Mixing sizes is one of the ways a custom shower reads as a designed space.
Can shower floor tile differ from shower wall tile?
Yes. The shower floor often uses a smaller mosaic tile for grip and slope while the walls use a larger format, and the two are coordinated in color and grout so they read as one shower.
Can porcelain tile be used in a shower when the product is rated for that application?
Yes. Porcelain tile rated for shower use is a common choice for shower walls and floors because it handles moisture well. The selected tile should be appropriate for its intended surface and application.
Can ceramic tile be used in shower applications when appropriate?
Yes. Ceramic tile can be used in shower applications when the product is rated for that use. As with any tile, the selection should reflect the surface and the moisture exposure of the shower.
Can a niche use accent tile?
Yes. A built-in niche is a natural place for an accent tile, and the niche is planned with the wall tile layout so the accent lands cleanly rather than being cut in after the fact.
How should shower tile coordinate with bathroom flooring?
Shower tile and bathroom flooring are often planned together so the colors, sizes, and grout share a consistent palette. Coordinating the two keeps the shower reading as part of the finished bathroom.
Can an existing shower be completely retiled?
Yes. An existing shower can be removed and rebuilt with new custom tile. The existing conditions, including any signs of moisture damage, are reviewed before the new tile is planned.
