Overview
South Florida bathrooms fail for one reason more than any other: waterproofing shortcuts under the tile.
If your last bathroom remodel grew mold along the shower curb after three years, the tile setter didn't waterproof correctly. Cement board is not a waterproofing membrane. Mastic is not thinset. A pre-formed shower pan that's been cut to fit and re-caulked is not a curb. These are the shortcuts that kill bathrooms in a humid climate, and they're invisible the day the tile gets grouted.
Modern Window Solutions builds bathrooms with full-coverage liquid or sheet waterproofing membranes (Schluter Kerdi or Laticrete Hydro Ban) across the entire wet area, a properly sloped mortar bed with a bonded waterproof pan liner, and curb assemblies that are membrane-wrapped before any tile goes on. It's an extra day of labor and roughly $400 in extra material. It's the difference between a bathroom you redo in three years and one that's still tight in twenty.
Everything else, vanities, lighting, tile selection, fixture spec, matters too, but it sits on top of the wet-area assembly. We build the wet-area first.
Scope & Materials
Wet-area first. Then the finishes.
Waterproofing: Schluter Kerdi sheet membrane or Laticrete Hydro Ban liquid, full coverage across all wet-area walls, the floor, and curb. Floor flooded and tested before tile.
Shower glass: 3/8" or 1/2" tempered low-iron glass enclosures, frameless or semi-frameless. Hardware finishes to match faucets. We template glass after tile is set, not before.
Vanities: stock from our cabinet partners or fully custom shop-built (paint or stain, any size, any drawer config). Wall-hung vanities require blocking added during framing, easy to forget, impossible to add later.
Plumbing & electrical: licensed sub-trades, GFI per code on every bathroom outlet, dedicated circuit for the in-wall heater if specified, and pressure-balanced shower valves to current FBC.
Window above the tub: Florida code requires tempered glass for any pane within 24" of a tub or shower or below 60" off the floor of the shower itself. If your existing bathroom window is not tempered, code says it has to be when we touch the room. We upgrade, usually with privacy-pattern or obscure-laminated glass.
