Winchester, Massachusetts · Primary Bath Renovation

Quiet Marble Bath

A primary bath rebuilt from the framing out, with proper waterproofing and slate underfoot.

Primary bathroom with marble tile, slate floor and freestanding tub

The challenge

Long-term shower leakage had damaged the floor framing below, and the existing fan vented into the attic.

Homeowner goals

  • Correct the water damage properly
  • Create a calm, light-filled room
  • Improve ventilation

The Northline solution

Framing was repaired and reinforced, a tested waterproofing assembly was installed, and the exhaust fan was ducted through the roof with an insulated run.

Materials

Construction considerations

  • Joist sistering below the shower
  • Sloped mud bed and bonded waterproof membrane
  • Roof-vented exhaust
