Walls, floors, wet areas and substrates are prepared for the selected fixtures, finishes and installation systems.
Quality Materials

Ontario Standards & Municipal Requirements
Bathroom Renovations Planned With Safety and Compliance in Mind
Code, permit and inspection requirements depend on the renovation scope, the existing construction and the municipality where the property is located.
Ontario Building Requirements
Proper Planning Before Construction Begins
Ontario's 2024 Building Code applies to current permit applications. Bathroom projects involving structural work, plumbing changes, ventilation changes or other regulated construction may require permits, drawings and municipal inspections.
We review the proposed renovation scope and identify items that may require coordination with the municipality, qualified designers or licensed trades.
Building and Plumbing Permits
A permit may be required when the renovation includes new or relocated plumbing, structural modifications, new rooms, significant layout changes or other regulated construction. Permit requirements are reviewed for the proposed scope and local municipality.
Plumbing and Drainage
Water supply, drainage, venting, fixture connections and shower controls must be planned for the selected fixtures and existing plumbing system. Rough-in locations are coordinated before walls and floors are closed.
Electrical Safety
Bathroom receptacles, lighting, illuminated mirrors, fans, switches and heated-floor systems require appropriate electrical planning. Electrical work must follow applicable Ontario electrical-safety requirements and be completed by qualified persons where required.
Bathroom Ventilation
Effective ventilation helps control moisture and protect the building assembly. Fan capacity, duct routing, exterior termination and controls are considered when planning the bathroom ventilation system.
Structure and Framing
Cutting, removing or modifying walls, joists and other structural components must be evaluated before work begins. Openings, supports and reinforcement are planned according to the specific home and renovation design.
Inspections and Documentation
Where permits are required, work must remain available for the applicable inspections before it is concealed. Required drawings, product information and trade documentation should be organized as part of the project.
Waterproofing & Moisture Protection
The Most Important Work Is Often Hidden Behind the Tile
Tile and grout create the visible finish, but the shower assembly underneath must be prepared to manage water and moisture. Substrates, drains, corners, penetrations, niches, benches and transitions must work together as a complete system.
We select compatible preparation and waterproofing products based on the shower design, tile, drain system and manufacturer installation requirements.
Accessible & Aging-in-Place Options
Bathrooms Designed for Comfort, Safety and Independence
An accessible bathroom should be planned around the homeowner, the available room and the way the space will be used. Thoughtful design can improve movement, stability, reach and everyday comfort without making the bathroom feel institutional.
We can incorporate accessibility and aging-in-place features into a complete bathroom renovation based on the home's construction and the homeowner's individual needs.
Bathroom Materials & Finishes
Materials Selected for Beauty and Durability
Bathroom materials should be selected for moisture exposure, durability, maintenance, slip resistance, compatibility and the overall style of the home.
| Material | Common Applications | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Porcelain Tile | Bathroom floors, shower walls, feature walls and niches. | Durable, low-maintenance and available in many sizes, textures and stone-inspired finishes. |
| Ceramic Tile | Shower walls, backsplashes and selected bathroom surfaces. | Versatile, widely available and offered in many colours, patterns and formats. |
| Quartz Countertops | Vanity countertops, backsplashes and custom vanity surfaces. | Consistent appearance, straightforward maintenance and a wide selection of colours. |
| Tempered Shower Glass | Frameless and semi-frameless shower enclosures. | Creates an open appearance and allows tile and shower details to remain visible. |
| Waterproofing Systems | Shower walls, bases, niches, benches and wet-area transitions. | Helps manage water beneath the finished tile when installed as part of a compatible assembly. |
| Heated-Floor Systems | Beneath compatible tile and bathroom floor finishes. | Adds floor-level comfort and can be controlled with a dedicated thermostat. |
| Bathroom Cabinetry | Vanities, linen towers, medicine cabinets and built-in storage. | Improves organization while supporting the desired design and available floor space. |
