Our Proprietary System
The Batista Double-Layer Waterproofing System
In 1,000+ completed projects across Cape Cod and the Islands, Batista Tile has never had a shower fail due to waterproofing system failure. Not one. This record is the direct result of a proprietary method we developed that goes well beyond industry-standard installation — and that we believe makes us the most reliably waterproof shower installer on Cape Cod.
About the Batista Method →What Makes It Different
- Standard topical sheet membranes and strips — properly installed as the first layer
- Liquid waterproofing applied to every seam, nook, and cranny — the second layer that eliminates gaps
- Membrane corners folded — not cut and capped with preformed corners — eliminating the weakest points in a standard installation
- Applied on every shower we build, every time — no exceptions
- Zero shower waterproofing failures in 1,000+ projects
