Scot Kemmer presented the Smart Choice system as the ideal solution, explaining it uses quarter-inch-thick virgin PVC layered with antimicrobial protection and digitally scanned stone designs for realistic aesthetics. Unlike fiberglass and acrylic, which rely on mold-prone green board, the Smart Choice package combines Shower Shield inorganic backer boards with waterproof, non-porous walls and quad-lock corner seals. Dark charcoal marble composite wall panels were selected for dramatic veining and ease of maintenance; polished chrome hardware matched existing bathroom accents. Factory-trained, background-checked installers executed the work as part of a locally owned franchise with 29 years of international reputation and an A+ BBB rating, relying on referrals to keep costs lower.
Installation, explained by Scot, completed in two days. Crew documented the site, protected floors, demoed to the studs, repaired framing, upgraded plumbing to PEX, and installed a thermal-insulated low-threshold shower base. Composite wall panels were set after the Shower Shield was sealed, followed by accessories including shelves, grab bar, bench, and diverter controls. Antimicrobial silicone rated for 50 years sealed all joints. A pre-install measure visit confirmed placement of every component using a 3D visualizer.
