Prefabricated tiled shower bases

Custom-made. Pre-tiled. Ready to install.

Every Canzeno base is built in our Richmond Hill shop to your bathroom’s size and drain position: sloped, waterproofed in layers and finished in your own tile. It arrives ready to install, so there is far less time and mess on site.

How it’s built

Five layers, finished in our shop

Built and checked in our shop, so the slope, the waterproofing and the drain are right before anything reaches your home.

  1. 5Integrated perimeter flangeLaps under the wall waterproofing so the edges stay sealed, around an integrated drain.
  2. 4Waterproof XPS foam backerA high-density XPS foam base that keeps the system light and dry.
  3. 3High-density structural coreCarries the load and holds the slope without a mortar bed.
  4. 2Composite reinforcementThe main waterproof layer: a reinforced composite skin under the tile.
  5. 1Non-slip, large-format tileThe tile you choose, cut and sloped to the drain in our shop.

The slope test

Every drop finds the drain

The slope is built into the base in our shop, not floated by hand on site. Roll a ball anywhere on a finished Canzeno base and it runs straight to the drain, so water never sits on the floor.
