TM TrueDEK from ARC A genuine advance in shower design and construction, ARC s strong, durable TrueDEK pre-pitched foundations are fastened directly to a floor s substructure to create beautiful, intelligent, seductive showers that are seamlessly aligned with the surrounding floor. Each precisely engineered foundation, matched with its perfectly integrated drain assembly, ensures that water disappears swiftly. And applying the system s superior waterproofing shield over the shower area protects the floor and wall structures from moisture-related damage, 5 including the onset of mold.
You can waterproof the entire bathroom floor to create a European style wet room, which, in combination with having the shower drain as the lowest point in the room, provides exceptional protection from every water source. To design and construct a bathing retreat that suits most every need, turn to TrueDEK spectacular showers and complete peace of mind. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
