The remodel introduced full-height composite wall panels in a white marble design, giving the look of polished stone without requiring grout. A frameless sliding glass door replaced the previous gold-framed enclosure and plastic curtain setup. Matte brushed hardware coordinates with dual grab bars and angled support rail installed across the rear wall. A white slatted fold-down bench was mounted to the panel system, along with a corner shelf for added storage. The handheld showerhead is height-adjustable with a rain-style secondary head positioned above.
Michael Cole, the Five Star Bath Solutions representative, recommended the Smart Choice composite system made from solid PVC layers bonded for strength, water resistance, and antimicrobial protection. Compared to acrylic or fiberglass, this composite is thicker, more durable, and requires no harsh chemicals to maintain. The customer preferred the white pearl pattern for its natural look and low-slip surface, while avoiding the upkeep of traditional tile.
Installation included full demolition to studs and subfloor, performed by Five Star’s in-house, background-checked team. The concrete-backed waterproof substrate was installed behind panels, with new Delta matte hardware, drain placement, and bench support added to match layout specifications. Entryways were covered with cloth runners and debris was hauled away on completion. A two-day install was scheduled following material delivery and a pre-measure appointment with Steve Ademski.
Five Star Bath Solutions offers a fully transferable lifetime warranty on its Smart Choice system, covering materials, installation, and accessories. Additional protections include a fixed-price contract with no backend fees, price match guarantee plus $100, and up to $2 million in property protection coverage. A military discount and review-based incentive were also applied. The customers selected a financing plan with 30% down and final payment due on completion.
