Tile Redi® is the inventor of Tile Ready® shower products. Tile Redi® is both the industry innovator and industry leader of the Tile Ready® shower base, and has the industries’ largest selection of Tile Ready® shower bases and shower pans, including single curb shower pans and shower bases, bathtub replacement shower pans and shower bases, and ADA and barrier free shower pans and shower bases. Our Tile Ready® shower pans are one piece shower pans with fully integrated drains, integrated 6 inch splash walls, integrated curbs or barrier free entrances, and integrated pitch ¼ inch per foot to the drain. Our patented and UL listed shower pans and shower bases comply with all local building and plumbing codes.
Most importantly, our shower pans and shower bases are leak proof and mold resistant, easy to install, i.e., they are usually installed in about ½ hour to 1 hour, whether you are a first time do-it-yourselfer or an experienced installer, are Tile Ready®, i.e., you can set tile directly on the surface of the shower pan, and save time and money. And our ongoing commitment to research and development has not only resulted in innovative additional applications for our Tile Ready® products, but has also resulted in hundreds of patent claims on every aspect of the design and manufacture of Tile Ready® products between our issued patents and our pending patents.
Don't be fooled by cheap imitations. Our Tile Ready® products comply with all national and local plumbing codes and are UL listed, unlike cheap imitations which are not UL approved, do not comply with local plumbing or building codes, and will not be approved by local inspectors. Also, our shower pans are one piece and easy to install, unlike the “jigsaw puzzle” shower bases which require a master’s degree in shower pans and a lot of free time to properly install.
Finally, the Tile Ready® products that are used in 5 star hotels, casino hotels, high end condos and single family residences, both new construction and renovations, are the exact same quality products that we sell to small contractors and do-it-yourselfers. Any developer, hotel brand, general contractor or architect who has used our Tile Ready® products becomes an instant champion and advocate for our products because they are easy to install, they are leak proof, you can tile them, and they save time and money. What more could you ask for!!
