At CJI Tile & Stone, we believe a beautiful shower should also be a flawless, leak-proof investment. We go beyond standard building practices by specializing in advanced, comprehensive shower systems that ensure the longevity and integrity of your installation.
Our expertise focuses on the foundational elements that homeowners rarely see but are critical to preventing costly water damage down the road. We exclusively use time-tested methods and industry-leading products like Schluter-KERDI and Wedi to deliver a system you can rely on.
Why Our Shower Systems Last:
1. Traditional Drypack Mortar Bases
For decades, the drypack mortar base has been the gold standard for custom shower pans. Unlike pre-formed, lower-quality options, a drypack base is:
Custom-Sloped: Hand-pitched by our journeyman setters to ensure perfect drainage from every point to the drain.
Solid & Durable: Creates a dense, rock-solid sub-base that minimizes movement and prevents cracking or shifting of tiles.
Ideal for Large Format Tile: Provides the perfectly level and stable foundation required for precision installation of modern, large format and plank tiles.
2. Schluter-KERDI Waterproofing
The Schluter System is the industry-leading approach to guaranteed waterproofing. We install the complete system, which includes the KERDI membrane—a bonded, waterproof fabric that eliminates seams and ensures a vapor-tight seal across walls, benches, and curbs. This creates a true, continuous waterproofing envelope behind the tile.
3. Wedi Shower Systems
The Wedi System utilizes lightweight, waterproof foam boards for walls, benches, and curbs. This system is:
100% Waterproof: The blue foam core is entirely impervious to moisture, offering another complete and reliable waterproofing solution.
Insulating: Provides thermal insulation, helping your shower stay warmer and reducing the chances of condensation.
Lightweight & Efficient: Allows for rapid and robust installation without the long drying times associated with some traditional materials.
CJI Tile & Stone is committed to using the right system for your specific project, ensuring your new shower in Calgary is not just stunning, but fundamentally sound.
