Livingston Homeowners Choose Shower Systems That Control Moisture From Day One

Livingston residents choose shower and bathroom tile systems because proper waterproofing and slope design prevent costly water intrusion and mold growth. Armstrong Tile LLC installs complete systems—from pan liner or bonded membrane to wall tile and grout sealing—that are built for moisture resistance and daily use. With over 25 years of tile industry experience, the crew understands how Montana homes handle humidity, and they design each shower to shed water efficiently while delivering a clean, spa-like finish.

Every shower project begins with an assessment of the existing framing, subfloor condition, and drain location. Whether you're renovating an outdated tub surround or building a walk-in shower from scratch, the installers plan for correct slope toward the drain, proper membrane overlap at corners and penetrations, and tile selection that complements your design while meeting slip-resistance and maintenance needs. They serve clients throughout Livingston, Bozeman, Big Sky, Paradise Valley, Missoula, and Southwest Montana, and each installation follows the same rigorous waterproofing protocols.

Why Drainage and Tile Layout Matter in Montana

Inadequate slope or improper waterproofing can lead to standing water, grout deterioration, and structural damage that's expensive to repair. The crew uses laser levels and careful measurement to ensure each shower floor drains completely, and they select setting materials rated for wet environments. Porcelain mosaics, large-format slabs, and natural stone each require different trowel techniques and grout joint widths to maintain water resistance over time.

From floor tile to wall surrounds, every surface is set with attention to alignment, lippage control, and grout consistency. Niche shelves, bench seats, and transition strips are integrated into the waterproofing plan so there are no weak points. The result is a bathroom that handles daily showers without compromise and elevates your home's value with a finish that looks professionally executed.

A complete shower tile system is more than just beautiful tile—it's a layered assembly designed to keep water where it belongs. Here's what goes into every installation.

• Pre-slope and membrane installation to create a watertight barrier before tile is applied
• Correct drain flange integration with the waterproofing layer to prevent leaks at the most vulnerable point
• Tile layout that balances aesthetics with proper drainage slope and grout joint placement
• Sealing of grout and natural stone to protect against moisture penetration and staining in Livingston's variable indoor humidity
• Final inspection and care instructions including resealing schedules and recommended cleaning products
