This bathroom renovation on Emms Drive in Barrie showcases a sophisticated integration of high-end materials and modern fixtures, centered around the use of innovative Designer Stone Panels.
The Story: A Masterclass in Stone Innovation
The primary objective of this Emms Drive project in the Holly area of Barrie was to replace a standard, aging bathroom with a durable, high-luxury environment. The design team utilized Crema Marfil Stone panels from Designer stone panels to create a seamless, grout-free aesthetic in the high-moisture zones, providing the timeless look of real marble with 2026 structural efficiency.
Key Custom Features:
Crema Marfil Designer Surfaces: The renovation features real, thin stone panels in Crema Marfil Marble. This material extends into a custom-built, matching marble niche, offering a sleek and durable alternative to traditional tile and grout lines.
The Spa Bathing Zone:
Freestanding Luxury: A Mirolin Cruz acrylic freestanding bathtub serves as a sculptural centerpiece.
Premium Fixtures: The tub is paired with a Riobel 2-way floor-mount filler, while the shower features a low-profile Mirolin acrylic base from BathworksBarrie.
Professional Glass & Hardware: The shower is enclosed with Fleurco sliding glass doors, providing a modern, space-saving entry that doesn't compromise the open-concept feel of the room.
Furniture-Style Cabinetry: The storage is anchored by a double furniture-style vanity from Rock Solid Stonewood cabinetry, a local Barrie favorite known for high-durability finishes.
Modern Utility: The renovation is completed with a high-efficiency Kohler toilet, blending classic brand reliability with modern water-saving performance.
