Every TrueDEK shower system delivers unsurpassed durability, ironclad

waterproof protection, and unlimited design options.

ARC TrueDEK foundations permit easy, unobstructed access—

refined, graceful, enlightened shower floor transitions.

Surround your TrueDEK shower with glass doors or screens,

curtains, walls, privacy enclosures, or nothing at all .

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,

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.
