How we set 24x24

We dry-fit the wall, check the plumb and flatness, then set 24x24 panels with large-format mortar and leveling clips so the whole wall reads as one plane.

Plan it before you decide

The Shower Builder lets you choose the tile size, the layout, the grout, the metal finish and the niche, and shows a 3D model as you go. Pine handles all pricing personally at the consultation — he’ll take great care of you.

24x24 questions

Is 24x24 tile good for showers?

Yes, on walls. For the floor of a shower we recommend a small mosaic or a single-slope pan with a linear drain.

How is 24x24 different from 24x48?

The square has a more gallery look. 24x48 has more verticality and fewer joints.
