One of the most important aspects of any shower remodel is selecting the right shower surround. Shower surrounds typically cover the three walls around your shower area, and protect your walls and underlying framework against water damage, like mold and mildew growth. But shower surrounds aren't just functional—they can contribute a stunning aesthetic to any bathroom.

One Day Shower is a Southern Louisiana bathroom remodeling company that provides a wide range of bath solutions, including shower wall surrounds. These surrounds can be manufactured in several different materials, and selecting the right one for your bathroom could depend on a few factors.

Popular Acrylic Shower Surrounds

One of the most common shower wall surround materials is acrylic. Acrylic is an excellent option for bathrooms because of its high water resistance, and its nonporous surface doesn't allow mold or mildew to grow easily. Acrylic is an affordable option as well, making it one of the most accessible options to homeowners.

Stunning Ceramic Tiles for Your Shower

Ceramic tiles have been a shower surround material option for quite some time. These products are known for their beauty, coming in a wide variety of styles, including:

  • Matte Finishes
  • Gloss Finishes
  • Texture Varieties
  • Large-Format Tiles
  • Mosaic Tiles
  • And Many More!

Ceramic tiles provide sufficient water resistance, making them a great shower surround option, but can be time-consuming to install. It's best to leave a ceramic tile installation in the hands of efficient professionals, like One Day Shower.

Reliable Laminate Shower Panels

Another excellent option for homeowners is a laminate shower surround. Laminate shower panels typically fall on the affordable end of prices, making them one of the more accessible and budget-friendly options. That doesn't mean you have to compromise on performance, though—laminate panels offer a whole lot of impressive benefits, including:

  • Excellent Water Resistance
  • Wide Variety of Styles, Finishes and Colors
  • Easily Installed
  • Minimal Upkeep Required
  • Long-Lasting Durability

Cutting-Edge PVC Composite Panels

A newer option for a shower surround is PVC paneling. Even just a decade or two ago, this wasn't a material choice, but with today's printing and manufacturing technology, PVC shower surrounds are not only possible, but also smart and stylish. No matter your preferred aesthetic, these composite panels can mimic any material, including stone, ceramic tile, marble or granite, but coming at a fraction of the cost.

Gorgeous and Timeless Glass Tiles

If you want to create a statement or a breathtaking backdrop in your bathroom, glass tile is definitely the way to go. This luxury material is typically used as an accent wall rather than as the entire shower wall surround, and can feature endless colors, patterns and aesthetics, making it one of the most stylish choices. But glass tiles also perform well in bathrooms, offering advantages like:

  • Excellent Durability
  • Create a Spacious Feeling
  • Simple to Clean
  • Reliable Water Resistance
  • Customizable
