What separates a great luxury bath
Waterproofing first
Curbless and steam showers depend on a properly sloped floor and a continuous waterproof layer. Steam enclosures also need vapor protection. These are built and checked before any stone goes on.
Privacy and views
Many Scottsdale primary baths face a private yard or mountain view. Window placement, frosted or film glazing and landscaping can give light and privacy together.
Hard water and maintenance
Large glass panels show mineral spots. Protective glass coatings, a water softener and squeegee-friendly hardware keep the room looking new.
Lighting
Sconces at the mirror, dimmable overhead light and low night lighting make the room comfortable at every hour.
Planning with the rest of the suite
Luxury baths are often remodeled with the closet and bedroom. Combining them can let you borrow space from a closet or hallway. See master suite remodeling.
Permits
Moving plumbing or walls requires permits with plans in Scottsdale. Added circuits for heated floors or steam generators involve electrical permits. See the City of Scottsdale permit list and our permit guide.
