Ventura Tile and Marble

A San Francisco Business Since 1998

The wall tile in this bathroom are 4'x2' porcelain ceramic tile. The linear drain is made by Infinity and has a 2 part screen. The counter and shower shelf heights were laid out to level. This is a curbless shower floor installed over a mortar bed.

This in one of the three bathrooms installed for the taxi drivers at SFO. The former bathrooms had been in use for far too long and everything needed to be torn down to the framing and even some of the framing itself needed replacing. The bathroom is heavily used with a rough estimate of 500 or more using it in a 24 hour period every day of the year. The chief engineer of the SFO parking garage and I selected a durable porcelain tile for the walls and floors and finished it with epoxy grout.

This is a simple and temporary bathroom the owners wanted to install to install to hold them over for 5 years before they perform a major remodel on their Victorian house.

Originally the owners of this beautiful house who are both architects had a completely different idea on how to approach the tiling of this bathroom. Fortunately I was able to convince them to start from scratch and I think it was the best idea for this bathroom.

This bathroom has a few nice options such as a heated floor, shampoo niche and a heated shaving mirror in the shower.

This shower was a full mortar bed over a hot mopped shower pan and seat. The walls are made up of a marble mosaic surrounded by 2 marble liners sandwiching a half inch mosaic. The pan has similar complexities with three tiles of different thicknesses.

This bathroom is in a residential high rise which was built sometime in the 1930's. The interior walls on which to install the tiles are nothing more than strips of thin steel covered in metal lath. In order to get to the point of just the sheet rock before even the mortar and tile, it took many hours of work.
