Shower Surround Alternatives
My wife has this idea that she doesn't want any kind of tile or masonry
in a new shower. Are there any other viable alternatives? She is thinking about some sort of mural that would be coated with a waterproof material. Is there such a thing? I'd think that with all of the new polymers out there that there could be. But I haven't a clue. |

I few years ago when we redid our bathroom we were told of a corian type material that could be used in the shower, so that we didn't have to worry about tile and cleaning. |

Corian makes a variety of shower/tub surrounds that work very well.

Cultured marble and fiberglass are also common shower materials. Some come
as kits and others are fully custom made by shower companies. Fiberglass can have images painted on or other artwork can be covered with a clear gel coat making it part of the material and completely waterproof.
