Cascata Shower Program
Beautiful Slab Shower Panels at Budget-Friendly Pricing
Transform shower spaces with stunning stone slab panels that deliver luxury aesthetics without the luxury price tag. Our Cascata shower program offers contractors and builders an innovative alternative to traditional tile installations, combining beautiful natural materials with faster installation and lower costs.
Why Choose Cascata Over Traditional Tile?
Cost Advantages
Cascata delivers significant cost savings through budget-friendly slab pricing that often costs less than premium tile materials. The streamlined installation process reduces labor expenses while eliminating the need for expensive waterproofing membranes, tile setting materials, and grout. Projects complete faster with our efficient half-day installation timeline, reducing labor scheduling complexity and allowing immediate project handover without waiting for grout curing time.
Performance Benefits
Say goodbye to grout maintenance forever. Cascata's seamless stone surfaces eliminate the ongoing cleaning challenges, discoloration, and mold concerns associated with traditional tile installations. The solid stone construction provides superior durability with scratch and impact resistance that outlasts tile systems prone to cracking and grout failure. Homeowners enjoy easy-to-clean surfaces that maintain their beauty for years while saving money on long-term maintenance costs.

Installation Process
Pre-Installation Requirements
Successful Cascata installation begins with proper site preparation. The shower pan must be completely installed and ready, with walls finished in greenboard drywall and confirmed to be plumb. All plumbing and fixtures should be positioned correctly, and adequate access must be verified for our installation team to maneuver the slab panels safely into position.
Our professional team handles the measurement and planning phase with precision site measurement and template creation for perfect fit. We work with you to finalize material selection and approval, then coordinate installation scheduling to align with your project timeline and minimize any disruption to other trades.
Installation Day
The Cascata installation process is designed for efficiency and minimal project disruption. Our experienced installation team completes the entire process in just half a day, allowing your project to stay on schedule without delays from curing time or multiple installation visits. The team brings specialized tools and expertise to ensure professional results while maintaining a clean, organized work environment.
Upon completion, every installation undergoes final inspection and testing to verify proper sealing and installation integrity. We activate the installation warranty and conduct a thorough customer walkthrough to ensure complete satisfaction with the finished shower space.
