That shower floor looks awesome Paul! That's thin tile, yes?
That a little liquid on the walls as a safeguard?
Here's a few things I've been into,
Tied into an old install with a mixed diag border. They had some of the old tiles left over so I just cut down both kinds. I gotta thank Steve sprung for introducing me to the RTC razor push cutter-thing is awesome.

Next is some 1 1/4" penny cork flooring-set with Laticrete silver-grouted with tru color alabaster. 2 coats of polyurethane rolled over the top to finish it off.

Nice work Obie.
Yes that's hydroban covering the drywall mud they got on the Kerdi board.
The tiles are the 4,x4 foot 80 pounders we put down in the rest of the house.
Somewhat carefully typed on teensy cell phone keys.

Thanks Obie  It is the same material -- limestone looking porcelain tile Architecture Light Ivory-- custom cut with the water saw for clean edges , sanded edges and ... I am paying for it  ...no really , I am very happy with the results .
Maybe I should've try a smaller joint like 1/16 instead of 1/8 . I think I will do the same with the shower ceiling .

Roberto and Brian both very impressive projects. Roberto I really like that look and I think it will be cool on the ceiling. What is the process now to get that look? Cutting them with saw to get them different thicknesses  I know Rod has done some really neat 3D stuff, I need to see how he does it. Do you just build them up at different heights with thinset I assume.
Trying Bostik Dimension grout on current glass shower floor installation. The glass pebbles are tiny. I haven't used urethane on an installation for probably 5 years when it first came out. Did a sample this evening to show customer. Color is Diamond. ModWalls glass ordered by customer recommends the Dimension Grout, which was Star Glass and I think still is in some parts. Anywho I wanted to see the result before I use it. I always use SpectraLock in showers but if this is the recommendation of the manufacturer then gotta go with it.
Two showers same design. One pictured gets the glass in the shower floor. MLT was a great help on this one

I haven't been posting much on here, but browsing/lurking has been my
daily habit. Doing more and more tile, maybe I'll start posting my jobs
more often. 5 of my last 7 projects have been bathroom remodels with
curbless tiled showers. My next 3 booked jobs are bathrooms also,
two of them are curbless tiled showers.
I thought I'd post my most recent bathroom remodel so I can lower the
bar for the guy to post after me! The homeowner cried and hugged me
when I cleaned it up and packed out my tools on the last day and showed
her the finished product, so either she really liked it or was glad to be
getting rid of me!! (OR BOTH)
Project was full bathroom renovation with tub conversion to curbless shower.
Basic inexpensive tiles from Homer, set with Kerabond, Schluter system used.
The inspector asked for a temporary dam so he could see it with water 2"
over the drain grate. He was the first one to ask for that on the 15 or so
curbless showers I have done.

Thanks Brandon .
Thanks Jon. Yeah , the process of getting them looking like that is

custom cut them with the water saw for nice looking exposed edges . Sand the edges .Lay them out and choose the elevation of each of them by using regular spacers .
Adhering the spacers with hot glue .
Filling them with medium bed mortar .
Adhering them using same medium bed mortar .
