Small-format and mosaic floor tile for showers, with the right slope, grout and grip for wet, barefoot use.
The shower floor has different needs from the shower walls. It is wet more often, it is walked on with bare, soapy feet and it must slope to the drain. Small tile, such as mosaics, hexagons and pebbles, follows that slope better than large tile and adds natural grip because there are more grout lines. The wrong floor tile can feel slippery or hold water in puddles. Nashville homeowners often choose a mosaic floor as a design accent, and we help balance style, grip and ease of cleaning so the floor looks good and works well.
We check the pan or mortar bed for slope, then plan the tile layout around the drain so cuts are even. Mosaic sheets are set with full mortar contact, pressed flat and aligned, and individual tiles are adjusted by hand where needed. Grout is chosen for color and cleanability, and we discuss epoxy grout for easier maintenance. Edges against the walls get flexible caulk rather than grout. We explain how to clean the floor and what to avoid so it keeps its grip.
Mosaics and small hexagons bend with the slope to the drain and give a natural grip underfoot.
Tile lines are planned around the drain and walls so cuts are balanced and neat.
We help you choose between pebbles, mosaics and textured tile based on feel and cleaning habits.
Epoxy and high-performance grouts resist staining and can reduce maintenance on busy floors.
