Fiberglass Shower Stall
Pretty durable, but not as durable as cast iron. On the other hand, a
one-piece fiberglass tube is very easy to clean, with no joints for the dirt to get in. wrote in message oups.com... I'm looking at buying a new home. The home has fiberglass shower stalls and tubs. Is fiberglass durable and how about maintainence? Thanks |

Fiberglass Shower Stall
I like it more than the tile I have now. You just don't want to use the
wrong cleanser on it and scratch it all up. There used to be a great cleaner called Duck but SC Johnson took it off the market because it wasn't selling well. But I would always go with fiberglass. Make sure it seems installed correctly with a firm base. wrote in message oups.com... I'm looking at buying a new home. The home has fiberglass shower stalls and tubs.

Fiberglass Shower Stall
Go for it. Fiberglass won't chip like enamel surfaces. The gelcoat
can be scratched, but it takes some effort so it's still pretty durable. If the tub is a one-piece tub/shower surround, that means no seams to worry about (cleaning and recaulking). |

It is solvent based and won't scratch. -- Larry Email to rapp at lmr dot com wrote in message roups.com... I'm looking at buying a new home. The home has fiberglass shower stalls and tubs.
