A Story of Transformation
When our Haverhill client first reached out, their bathroom felt dark and dated — a small space with tired tiles and poor lighting. They dreamed of a bright, refreshing bathroom that could bring the feeling of natural light even on cloudy days. Our design team embraced this vision by creating a space where white porcelain tiles, a freestanding vanity, and frameless glass came together in perfect harmony.
The project began with a clear goal: make the bathroom look spacious, modern, and easy to maintain, while meeting Ontario building and waterproofing standards.
Design Goals
- Create a bright, airy aesthetic with reflective white tiles and soft lighting.
- Install floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile for durability and easy cleaning.
- Feature a floor-standing vanity that anchors the room while adding storage.
- Ensure flawless waterproofing for the shower, floor, and wall niches.
- Include energy-efficient lighting and a quiet ventilation system.
Materials & Specifications
- Tile: Large-format 12×24 glossy porcelain tiles on walls and floor — chosen for their light reflection and timeless style.
- Shower Floor: 2×2 matte mosaic tiles for extra grip and a spa-like feel.
- Vanity: Elegant freestanding vanity with a pure white quartz countertop and soft-close drawers.
- Glass & Fixtures: 10 mm frameless glass enclosure, brushed nickel fixtures, and a rainfall showerhead.
- Lighting: LED mirror lighting + recessed ceiling lights for layered brightness.
- Waterproofing: Cement board base + double-layer membrane protection, sealed and reinforced at all corners.
- Electrical: ESA-certified circuits with GFCI protection for safety.
Process & Timeline
-
Week 1 — Demolition & Preparation:
We carefully removed old tiles and fixtures, inspected subfloor conditions, and prepared new plumbing and electrical lines. -
Week 2 — Waterproofing & Tiling:
Cement boards and liquid membranes were applied with precision. Each porcelain tile was aligned to maximize reflection and continuity across walls and floors. -
Week 3 — Finishing Touches:
The freestanding vanity was installed, followed by frameless glass, LED mirrors, and accessories. The final inspection confirmed both functionality and beauty.
Final Look
The completed bathroom now feels open, bright, and luxurious. The combination of white porcelain, glossy finishes, and a modern vanity creates a spa-like atmosphere perfect for both relaxation and practicality.
Every detail — from the soft lighting to the subtle grout lines — enhances the sense of cleanliness and sophistication. What once felt cramped now feels airy and elegant, perfectly suited to modern living in Haverhill.
Maintenance Tips
- Use neutral-pH cleaners to preserve porcelain and quartz finishes.
- Run the ventilation fan for 20 minutes after each shower to control humidity.
- Re-seal silicone and grout annually to ensure long-term waterproofing.
- Avoid harsh chemicals — a soft cloth and warm water are enough to keep it shining.
