Custom Showers Designed for BC Homes
If you’re renovating your bathroom, a custom shower adds luxury, function, and modern appeal. At Vanreno General Contractors Ltd., we specialize in building stunning custom showers that stand the test of time—across Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, Langley, and more. Whether you prefer a curb-less design or a traditional curbed base, our team handles every detail with expert precision.
Waterproofing Is Non-Negotiable
Custom showers require more than visual appeal. Without intensive waterproofing, even the most beautiful setup can lead to costly issues. We use advanced waterproofing systems like Schluter membranes and proper slope designs to prevent any leakage or mold. Our crew ensures the base, walls, and niches are sealed and protected for decades.
In wood-frame houses, waterproofing is even more critical due to moisture sensitivity. For concrete buildings or strata units, our waterproofing complies with BC strata bylaws and provincial codes.
Curbed vs. Curb-less Showers
Curbed showers remain popular for their clear separation of wet and dry areas. They’re ideal for bathrooms with limited space or when full waterproofing beneath the floor isn’t feasible.
Curb-less showers, however, offer a modern, seamless look with easier access—perfect for aging-in-place designs or elegant spa-like bathrooms. We ensure the subfloor is lowered properly to accommodate these builds without sacrificing waterproofing.
Built-In Niches and Custom Seats
Custom showers aren’t complete without thoughtful features. Built-in wall niches keep your space organized and minimalist. No more hanging caddies or cluttered corners. Our team precisely measures the location to ensure perfect placement between studs.
We also build custom benches or seats, ideal for added comfort or accessibility. These are always sloped slightly to avoid pooling water and finished with high-grade tile to match your design.
Tiling With Precision
Tiling makes or breaks the look and longevity of your custom shower. We only work with top-tier tiles—porcelain, ceramic, natural stone—and install with premium adhesives and leveling systems.
Grout lines are sealed thoroughly. We use laser leveling tools to guarantee every tile is flush, symmetrical, and waterproof.
Custom Showers for Strata Properties in BC
Strata homes come with rules. Our experience in strata renovation ensures your custom shower is built within the bylaws and scope of approval. We assist with documentation, strata board communications, and ensure inspections pass with ease.
From Vancouver to Pitt Meadows, strata property renovations are one of our specialties.
