In 2013, Christopher Kubik had a vision: to take his niche-specific experience in custom fabrication to the next level, and help homeowners in Greater Cincinnati elevate their living spaces with stunning yet fully functional tile installations.
That vision now has a name. Kubik House, created in 2019, has installed more than a hundred kitchens and bathrooms throughout the Greater Cincinnati region, utilizing top-tier finishes, custom service and expertise.
Each project is more than just a job.
“It is our legacy, and I intend for our work to last for generations,” says Kubik.
One recent project for custom home builder Hueber Homes included vein-matched, large-format panels to enhance the aesthetic value, wrap the space and create visual drama.
“We used Laticrete installation materials and waterproofing systems for this custom project,” Kubik points out. “The tile for this master bath shower project was a super format porcelain panel tile from Porcelanosa, called Aria White,” he explains.
Those porcelain panels measure 10 x 5 feet. As one might imagine, that’s typically not an easy job to tackle. Kubik House, however, made it appear that way.
“The panels are cumbersome to handle,” explains Hueber Homes Vice President Marc Hueber. “They’re heavy, and have a long lead time to get on site. Every move requires thought and planning, as well as specialized tools and skills,” he says.
What’s more, projects like this one allow zero opportunities for re-cutting—which means meticulous measurements are an absolute necessity.
“Christopher and his team deserve the credit,” says Hueber. “I just unloaded them off the truck with the skid steer and made sure they had space to operate.”
Hueber says that Kubik’s attention to detail and commitment to making it the best it could be resulted in a stunning installation and a very satisfied homeowner.
“I think the homeowners were happy with the level of detail and care that Kubik House delivered,” Hueber says.
“Christopher and his team are easy people to work with,” Hueber adds. “We both wanted the same end result, a happy client and a beautiful and unique shower.” He adds, “I’m sure we will work together in the future—they are a good group and honest, hard-working people.”
Chalk it up to Kubik House’s goal to provide the Cincinnati area with “the highest quality installations of all wet area finishes, including porcelain panels, microcement and natural stone,” says Kubik. “Just because Cincinnati can be a little behind the times, it doesn't mean your bathroom needs to be.” KubikHouse.com
