There are a lot of choices when it comes to remodeling a bathroom, and deciding on the right type of materials can be challenging. Magazines, social media, and endless opinions can make the process overwhelming. In this video, we’re going
to break down the pros and cons of the two main categories of materials used in modern baths and showers to help you make an informed, confident decision.

What is the difference between a tiled shower and a Jacuzzi Bath Remodel wall system (acrylic and composite)?

Tiled showers are created by attaching ceramic or porcelain tiles to waterproof walls. Depending on the size of the shower and the complexity of the installation, this process can take anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Tiles have traditionally been a popular choice for wet areas, and there are a wide variety of design options to choose from. However, depending on the material, tiles can be costly to purchase and install.
On the other hand, a Jacuzzi® wall system—whether acrylic or composite— allows you to mimic the appearance of tile while eliminating many of its downsides. These materials won’t chip, crack, or break, and they’re far easier to maintain due to their non-porous surfaces and built-in resistance to bacterial growth. There are several reasons why more homeowners are choosing these modern wall systems when remodeling their bathrooms.

What are some of the advantages of tiled showers?

There are several reasons homeowners may opt for a tiled shower. Tile is durable, provides a luxurious spa-like feel, and allows for extensive creativity in the design and aesthetic of a bathroom. With countless shapes, colors, textures, and patterns, tile can create a truly custom look. However, tiled showers can also be more complicated to install. They require
professional installation, which can be time-consuming and expensive— especially with newer and complex styles. Grout lines are also notoriously difficult to clean and can promote the growth of mold and mildew over time.

What are the benefits of a Jacuzzi acrylic or composite shower system?

Compared to tile, Jacuzzi acrylic and composite shower systems are significantly quicker to install. Because these materials come prefabricated and custom-fit to your space, our team can typically install them in as little as one to two days. We have options that can offer the same look and texture as traditional tile, but without the hassle of grout lines—making them much easier to clean. Acrylic and composite systems are non-porous, highly durable, and have built-in resistance to
bacteria, mold, and mildew. And with a limited lifetime warranty, Jacuzzi wall systems provide long-term peace of mind.

So, what now?
