Real project documentation
Custom shower construction: the work behind the finished tile.
A finished shower hides most of the work that determines whether the project performs correctly. This real photo sequence documents several important construction stages before tile and glass.

Why documentation matters
Photos turn hidden or temporary conditions into a permanent project record.
That record helps explain what was found, what changed, and what was completed. It also gives future service work a better starting point.
Project takeaways
- Shower performance depends on what happens before tile.
- Drain, pan, substrate, niche, and waterproofing details must be sequenced correctly.
- Progress photos preserve a record of concealed work that will not be visible after completion.
