After only one year, my custom designed bath failed and had to be completely ripped out. Solstice refused to honor the warranty. Here were just a few of the problems that caused the failure:
No liner in the corners, extending out 8" to the side walls.
Tile was affixed directly to sheetrock in an 8" section of wall on both the left and right side. No Durrock or other waterproofing board.
Liner did not wrap up and over the curb and was nailed in with sheetrock nails.
Liner did not wrap up and over the bench and was completely missing on the right side of the bench.
Shower doors drilled into curb without use of silicone. They leaked from the first day of installation.
Shower exhaust fan installed upside down so that air was being forced into the bath instead of being pushed out.
Electrical boxes not installed according to code.
Builder was cited for code violations by the NC State Licensing Board for General Contractors.
