Tad Ruggeri from Five Star Bath Solutions recommended the Smart Choice composite wall system for both aesthetic and safety needs. The selection included antimicrobial six-layer panels sealed with marine-grade silicone, paired with a waterproof ShowerShield cement fiber backer. The base featured a low-threshold entry with slip resistance. Tad reviewed options for Delta commercial-grade fixtures and discussed alternatives such as stationary and detachable heads with diverter controls. While a handheld system was planned, the installed showerhead remained fixed. Tile-style walls with subtle Calacatta marbling and a mosaic border trim achieved the preferred clean, contemporary look.
Installation included full demolition down to the studs, with any structural repairs completed prior to system assembly. The process involved plumbing replacement, installation of the shower base, wall panels, corner shelves, grab bar, and framed shower door. Despite the intent to place controls externally and configure one stationary panel, the final system retained standard in-shower plumbing and dual sliding doors. Project completion took one to two days, aligning with the original scope and schedule.
