AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing shower floors with tiled surfaces suffer from water seepage into cracks between tiles, creating breeding grounds for germs, bacteria, and mold, particularly problematic for disabled individuals, and require costly structural measures for remediation.

Method used

Benefits of technology

Prevents water from entering cracks, reducing germ and mold growth, simplifies cleaning, and minimizes installation errors while providing a cost-effective, accessible, and hygienic shower solution.
