Michael Cole, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, presented multiple material packages: gel-coated fiberglass, acrylic, Smart Choice composite, and real stone. Presentation highlighted Smart Choice composite as 100 percent PVC, six-layer antimicrobial wall system with high-tech imaging replicating real stone look. Emphasis given to composite panels being scratch-resistant, twice as thick as acrylic, and non-porous for easy cleaning with mild soap. Representative demonstrated Delta premium fixtures, offering standard fixed showerhead and handheld spray set on a vertical slide bar—both in brushed chrome—to coordinate with gray-toned scheme. Three recessed corner shelves integrated into wall panels: two in left rear corner and two in right rear corner. Framed bypass glass doors in brushed chrome provided enclosed shower space without barn-style tracks. Composite panels sealed with 100 percent marine-grade silicone and mounted to waterproof shower shield backer board to eliminate grout and prevent mold.
