In this video by Island Carpet Tile & Hardwoods, Kasey Harkin Custom Tile Installation takes us through the intricacies of a custom subway tile shower installation on a boat in Rhode Island. This project presented unique challenges, requiring careful consideration of both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. Ken, from Island Carpet Tile & Hardwoods, dives into the process, explaining the specific choice of white subway tile. The tile was selected for its timeless, handmade look, which adds a touch of elegance to the small, confined space of the boat. However, aesthetics weren’t the only factor in play—due to the constant exposure to moisture and movement on a boat, waterproofing and durability were critical elements to ensure the longevity of the installation.
The handmade appearance of the subway tile complements the boat's interior, giving it a stylish, high-end finish while maintaining the necessary practicality for marine environments. Installing tile on a boat requires even more precision than typical land-based projects. The constant movement of the boat and the varying humidity levels demand a flexible yet secure installation, making waterproof materials and expert craftsmanship essential.
This custom subway tile shower demonstrates the balance between beauty and durability, showcasing Kasey Harkin’s ability to handle specialized projects with the same care and detail as any high-end home installation. With a focus on both the look and performance of the tiles, Kasey Harkin Tile ensures that the shower is not only visually striking but also built to withstand the unique challenges of life on the water.
