Initially, acrylic bath systems were created for the hotel
industry as a simple way to update bathrooms without the
mess of tearing out old fixtures.
The existing tub, shower
and walls are covered with a new, custom fitted, durable
facing. By installing over the old fixtures, the acrylic
material has a strong, solid base.
Goal: A fast and clean way to remodel the bathroom without
compromising aesthetics
What are the alternatives? Whole bathroom renovation?
Resurface?
Disadvantages of Remodeling Whole Room
and Re-glazing (Re-painting)...
Renovation
• Messy demolition and disposal of old walls, tubs and
fixtures
• Relocation of plumbing usually needed
• Must install new floors and walls
• Bathroom unusable for 2-4 weeks, or more
• Average cost runs into 5 digits
Re-Glazing
• Prepare tub with caustic chemicals
• Bad odors need whole house ventilation
• Fragile surface prone to peeling
• Lifespan is often only a few years
• Does not address old walls or fixtures
Or how about traditional renovation work with tile or
fiberglass, etc.?
