Although choosing a shower base and the material to use on your shower walls may seem like the least exciting aspect of building your dream bathroom, it is an important element to consider. In a modern bathroom remodel, the tub and shower area should be the focal point of the bathroom, so you want to make sure that you choose materials that will look great for a long time. An option to consider is using solid surface products for both. Solid surface is a long-term solution that will give you a luxurious look lasting for years without the constant maintenance associated with natural stone or tile. Below are a few of the benefits of using solid surface shower walls and bases in your tub or shower remodel:
- Easy To Clean. Tile and natural stone look great when initially installed, but are difficult to keep looking that way. The main reason is both are porous materials. In an area with a lot of moisture, grout, for instance, can easily fall out and quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria, mildew, and mold to grow, making it a maintenance headache. With solid surface wall panels, on the other hand, there are no grout joints to deal with or porous material for bacteria to breed. When installed, it gives a seamless appearance that is beautiful and easy to clean. You will have a luxurious stone look without years of sealing and back-breaking scrubbing with harsh chemicals down the road. The process to clean solid surface shower walls is simple. Just wipe it down with a Scotchbrite pad and a mild detergent to keep it looking new.
- Low maintenance. Due to the nonporous nature of solid surface shower walls, they never need to be sealed. The finished surface does not allow anything to penetrate, making it both stain and bacteria-resistant. When solid surface shower walls look clean, they are clean, making them very hygienic and a perfect low-maintenance solution to use in your tub or shower area where there is a lot of moisture.
- Highly customizable. With a wide array of colors and veined patterns to choose from, solid surface shower walls can give you the design look you desire. Whether it is a trendy green solid color or the veined appearance of natural stone like marble or granite, the vast array of color choices makes it an ideal choice for most homeowners’ new bathroom remodel, as there is something for everyone.
- Durability. Solid surface shower walls are very durable. When investing in a bathroom remodel, you want to choose a product that will withstand the wear and tear of years of daily use, continuing to look great. Solid surface shower walls will look like new years down the road, making it the last bathroom remodel you will ever need.
- Repairable. Not only are solid surface shower walls durable, but they are also renewable. Solid surface shower walls are manufactured so the color runs throughout the walls making it easy for scratches to be erased with a little buffing, keeping them looking like new years later.
- Dampens sound. Due to bathrooms typically containing lots of hard materials such as tile, sound is likely to bounce back and forth around the room and lead to lots of excess noise. With solid surface shower walls, the surface absorbs the sound, dampening the waves and making the sound more subtle.
