Inspired Tile KC builds fully waterproof, designer-grade custom showers across Kansas City, Lee's Summit, Overland Park, Olathe, Leawood, Independence, Liberty, and Blue Springs. Every shower we install starts with a Schluter KERDI waterproof membrane system — the same ANSI A118.10 sheet-applied technology specified by tile architects and high-end remodelers nationwide.
Whether you want a curbless walk-in shower, a roll-in barrier-free shower, a large-format porcelain shower with a frameless glass enclosure, or a marble mosaic shower floor with a hand-laid niche, we deliver a finished assembly that performs for decades.
Curbless showers are the modern standard for primary bathrooms — flush thresholds, linear drains, large-format wall tile, and frameless glass create a spa-like, accessible bathing space. We integrate Schluter KERDI-LINE linear drains and pre-sloped shower trays for proper drainage without a curb.
24x48, 30x60, and gauged porcelain panel installations create dramatic, low-grout-line shower walls. We handle the precision cutting, leveling, and back-buttering required for flawless large-format tile installation in Kansas City showers.
Carrara, Calacatta, statuary marble, travertine, and slate shower installations — book-matched walls, mitered corners, and proper sealing for a heirloom-quality finish.
Custom-sized recessed niches with LED strip lighting, floating teak-style tile benches, full-depth bench seats with proper drainage slope, and shaving footrests — all fully waterproofed and tiled to match your shower walls.
We coordinate with trusted local glass installers across the Kansas City metro to spec frameless, semi-frameless, and steam shower enclosures that pair perfectly with our tile work.
A custom shower is only as good as its waterproofing. Most shower failures aren't tile failures — they're substrate failures. Water gets behind the tile, soaks the cement board, and rots framing for years before anyone notices. We eliminate that risk by installing Schluter KERDI sheet membrane on every wet wall, KERDI-BOARD substrate where appropriate, KERDI-LINE or KERDI-DRAIN at the floor, and KERDI-FIX sealant at every membrane seam and pipe penetration.
This is a fully bonded, sheet-applied waterproof assembly — vastly more reliable than rolled-on topical membranes that can crack, thin out, or lift over time.
