The original shower was a framed unit with basic chrome hardware and stained acrylic walls. The enclosure showed visible wear, including discoloration near the top of the tile surround and mold staining behind the glass trim. Photos confirm that the initial shower area was both narrow and limited in height. The transformation introduced a neo angle walk-in shower with matte stone-look composite walls in warm taupe tones, built-in corner shelving, and a handheld shower head. Visual upgrades included dark stone-patterned panels that extended to the ceiling and a seamless entry flush with the floor tile.
Representative Tom Jaeger presented the Smart Choice wall system, emphasizing its durability, water resistance, and mold-proof surface. Unlike acrylic or fiberglass, this six-layer composite material resists scratches and won’t degrade over time. The quarter-inch panel has a matte texture and is reinforced at corners and seams. Brushed nickel fixtures were selected throughout, and the handheld shower system with dual function remained consistent with the standard offering. The corner shelves were reinforced with metal backing to support heavier storage. For better layout fit and expanded width, the team recommended a 42-by-42 inch Onyx base with a neo angle format.
Installation began with a full tear-out of the prior enclosure down to the studs. Damaged wallboard and moisture staining were addressed. The shower was rebuilt using moisture-proof substrate and custom-fit composite panels. Trim edging and a brushed nickel-framed hinged glass door were added. Site measurements were taken using digital tools to ensure precise cuts and fitting. The team aligned the installation with the customer’s move-in schedule, and cleanup was completed the same day. Temporary curtain use was shown mid-installation, later replaced with a hinged glass door as specified.
