Low-Threshold Entries
Reduced-entry designs evaluated against floor structure, drainage, waterproofing, and glass requirements.
Custom walk-in showers
A custom shower should feel simple because the planning was thorough.
ARA Flooring Ltd builds walk-in showers around proper preparation, compatible waterproofing systems, balanced tile layouts, practical storage, and details designed for daily use.

The ARA approach
Designed around the room and the people using it.
A walk-in shower is not one standard product. Entry height, drain location, wall condition, niche placement, bench size, tile format, glass dimensions, and plumbing all influence the final design.
We explain those decisions, coordinate the installation sequence, and build the hidden assembly with the same care as the finished surface.
Built with precision. Finished with pride.
Scope
Custom shower options
Recessed Niches
Storage planned around tile layout, framing, waterproofing, reach, and visual balance.
Built-In Benches
Benches proportioned for the room and integrated into the waterproofing and tile assembly.
Large-Format Shower Tile
Fewer grout joints and a calm appearance, supported by flat substrates and careful handling.
Accent & Mosaic Details
Intentional feature areas used where they improve scale, grip, drainage, or design—not simply as decoration.
Glass-Ready Openings
Edges, curbs, walls, and dimensions prepared with the future glass enclosure in mind.
The hidden work
How a durable shower comes together
Each stage supports the next. The finished surface is only as dependable as the preparation, planning, and decisions beneath it.
Evaluate
We review access, framing, plumbing, floor structure, drain position, and the desired shower footprint.
Plan
Tile layout, niche placement, bench dimensions, entry condition, edge profiles, and glass considerations are coordinated.
Prepare
Walls and floors are corrected where necessary so the waterproofing and tile can be installed over a suitable foundation.
Waterproof
A compatible shower system is installed with careful treatment of the pan, seams, corners, penetrations, and transitions.
Set Tile
Coverage, alignment, slopes, cuts, movement joints, and finish details are checked throughout installation.
Review
The completed shower is inspected and relevant care, curing, and use guidance is explained.
Materials & systems
The waterproofing system is part of the design
We work with systems such as Schluter Kerdi and GoBoard, along with compatible mortars, sealants, drains, and accessories. Components are selected as a system so the layers behind the tile work together.
Schluter Kerdi
GoBoard
Schluter drains and profiles
MAPEI mortars
TEC setting materials
Compatible sealants
Questions homeowners ask
Walk-in shower questions
Clear answers are part of a professional process. Project-specific conditions are always evaluated before final recommendations are made.
Can every shower be made curbless?
Not always without structural changes. Floor framing, drain location, available depth, adjoining floor height, waterproofing, and code requirements must be evaluated first.
What tile works best on the shower floor?
Grip, slope conformity, drainage, grout-joint frequency, maintenance, and the specific shower design matter more than one universal tile size.
How soon can the new shower be used?
Cure time depends on the products and assembly used. We provide project-specific guidance rather than giving a one-size-fits-all answer.
Can you add a niche and bench?
Usually, but they need to be planned around framing, plumbing, waterproofing, tile layout, reach, and the available shower space.
