Bathrooms have become an increasingly complex room in the home with thousands of products, ideas, and accessories to customize the whole look to your taste. One of the largest and most admired parts of the room is the tub/shower surround. There are two main materials to choose from; tile and acrylic.
A tiled surround offers endless opportunities to customize the look, but its what's behind the tile that will make sure your investment is protected. A proper backer board, quality waterproofing membrane, and the correct thin set is crucial to a long lasting unit. A shower niche is a necessity for storage and design, but poses an issue for waterproofing. We recommend Schluter products to ensure a worry free result.

The other option is an acrylic surround. The benefits of acrylic are its low maintenance, lower cost, and simplistic designs. Be careful about selecting a good quality acrylic as the thinner material will show the adhesive pattern behind it. We use a thicker, high quality acrylic in our installs. Supplied by Canadian Acrylics, we can customize your surround with shelves, colours, tile patterns, and more. At a lower cost than tile, these high quality acrylic surrounds are proving to be a showstopper. Come see all these options at our beautiful showroom at 920 16th Street SW in the light industrial area.
