In the Calacatta Manor Corner Shower, Armstrong Building Services transformed an old antique bathroom with a custom 90-degree shower featuring large-format porcelain stone slab walls, a matching ceiling panel, a custom hinged glass shower door, a stone resin base, chrome edge trim, and polished chrome fixtures.
The finished shower blends old house charm with upgraded performance, giving the space a timeless look while improving daily function, maintenance, and comfort.
The Calacatta Manor Corner Shower was designed as a custom 90-degree shower layout that fits naturally into the bathroom while giving the room a brighter and more elevated focal point. Instead of standard tile walls, the shower features single-piece porcelain stone slabs or large format tile panels with a white marble-look surface and soft veining. These larger shower wall surfaces reduce grout lines and create a more seamless appearance, helping the shower feel clean, open, and easy to maintain.
The shower includes a custom hinged glass shower door that keeps the enclosure feeling light and open while showing off the slab wall finish. A durable stone resin shower base provides a clean low profile foundation, and a matching ceiling panel above continues the material look for a more complete built-in design. Chrome metal edge trim wraps the shower and frames the slab installation with a crisp finished detail, while the chrome shower head, control valve, and square shower drain add a polished coordinated fixture package.
What makes this project especially distinctive is the setting. This shower was built into an older antique home, and the surrounding bathroom floor gives the room a clear colonial-inspired character. The new shower respects that older classic setting while introducing brighter materials, cleaner surfaces, and custom modern craftsmanship. The result is a bathroom remodel that feels timeless rather than trendy, combining antique-house charm with a fresh, functional shower designed for everyday living.
