Project #82 — Woodbridge, Ontario
Quick Facts
- Location: Woodbridge (Project 82)
- Duration: ~2.5 weeks
- Service Provided: Bathroom Renovation
- Project Area: ~95 sq ft
This Woodbridge homeowner wanted a dry and wet separated bathroom — functional, bright, and easy to maintain.
Reno Mumu reconfigured the layout to divide the vanity area from the shower zone using a full-height glass partition, creating a cleaner and more open look.
The design combined smooth white porcelain floor tiles, frameless glass, and neutral finishes for a balanced, modern atmosphere.
Design Goals
- Effective dry–wet zoning with frameless glass partition and watertight transitions.
- Smooth white flooring to maximize light reflection and visual spaciousness.
- Minimalist vanity area with built-in LED mirror and quartz surface.
- Walk-in shower with linear drain, handheld sprayer, and built-in niche.
- Improved ventilation and durable waterproofing for daily comfort.

Floor & Wall Finishes
- 24×48 glossy white porcelain floor tiles, rectified, low grout line for seamless continuity.
