Evans Mill Road Mclean Project

Materials & Finishes

Designed for both everyday function and long-term ease, the basement bath centers on a cohesive Grohe shower system that brings European precision to every detail. The Grohflex universal rough-in valve anchors the plumbing, paired with a Clubmaster handshower mounted on a Unica S Puro 650mm slide bar — a combination that offers flexibility without sacrificing a clean, coordinated look. Chrome valve trim (PBV Kit #1 Grocos) carries the finish throughout, while two Grohe chrome grab bars integrate safety and accessibility seamlessly into the overall design. The shower enclosure is custom frameless, built with 1/2" clear tempered glass treated with ClearShield protective coating to keep the glass looking pristine with minimal upkeep. Chrome Vienna wall-mount hinges, heavy-duty square wall clamps, and a chrome tubular 6" back-to-back pull handle give the enclosure a refined, architectural edge. Homeowner-selected tile covers the shower floor and walls, grounded by a custom Botticino marble threshold — 4" wide, 50" long, and 3/4" high — that marks the shower entry with a quiet touch of natural stone. A homeowner-provided barn door from The Hardware Hut completes the space with a distinctive, characterful entry that sets the tone before you even step inside.
