  • Patent number: 11885140
    Abstract: A prefabricated tile strip includes a backing board, a tile region having plural tiles and grout. The grout can be composed of a resin/polymer-based grout that allows for superior water resistance, stain resistance, crack resistance and is transportable without breaking. The strip includes an edge region or flange on either side of the tiles to allow for simple screw in and glue on assembly, not even a wall is necessary, the strip can be attached directly to the studs. A step over/under water resistant edges can go directly onto a bathtub or shower ledge or onto the wet area of a tile floor (not separate ledge), allowing it to go straight down to the bottom of a shower floor, or It can step right over a thin plastic flange on a tub or shower base.

  • Patent number: 10144243
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a tile sheet for a shower wall or bath enclosure in which a user designs a tile pattern which is stored in a database. An acrylic sheet is placed on a frame and clamped in place. A computer controlled router cuts grout lines in the acrylic sheet which simulates a tile pattern. The finished sheet having the tile pattern is cut and installed on a shower wall. Other designs can be stored in the computer and used to create different tile patterns using the same computer controlled router.

  • Publication number: 20050241744
    Abstract: A method for adhering a bathtub liner to an existing bathtub. The method includes the steps of providing a suitably sized liner for an existing bathtub, applying urethane foam to at least a portion of a bottom surface of at least one of the bathtub and the suitably sized liner, positioning the liner in the bathtub such that the liner substantially follows contours of the existing bathtub, and applying pressure to the bathtub liner to affix the liner to the bathtub.
