One of the more time intensive finishing projects is bathroom tile because of the need to allow the backing board to dry completely, usually 24 hours. Now your tile mason can install Emser’s new Empervious Shower System  in your Katahdin Cedar Log Home and complete tiling in the same day. This truly waterproof shower enclosure system was so good it won the Kitchen and Bath Product Design at the 2024 IBS Show.

Keep Water In
Empervious panels are constructed of closed cell XPS foam core with cement coating, which when installed with joint sealant provides a completely waterproofed shower. The panels are available in 3’ x5’ or 4’ x 8’ with thicknesses ranging from ¼” to 2”.

Curbed or No-Barrier —Easy Entry Solutions
Pre-sloped shower pans including extensions can meet virtually any shower design  with available curbs. If a no barrier threshold is desired the shower pans are thin and low-profile to simplify no-barrier installations.

Pre-formed Niches
The panels are available with preformed niches in common sizes to meet homeowner desires Or your tile mason can customer cut the perfect shower niche to your specifications.

Great Grates
Empervious shower systems come with a 4” x 4” brushed stainless steel drain grate but can be custom-colored with three other finishes to coordinate with shower hardware: Matte Black, Rubbed Bronze or Polished Chrome
