Acrylic Shower Walls and Bathroom Remodels

Written by Bath Concepts | September 16, 2026


Are you considering acrylic for your bathroom remodel? With many materials out there, you want to find the correct solution for your bathroom remodel. Whether you are renovating your shower walls, converting your traditional bathtub to a walk-in shower, or replacing the already existing bathtub, you should consider acrylic over other products like tile, fiberglass, porcelain, and other standard materials.

Acrylic offers you conveniences that most materials don’t.

Regular Acrylic vs Bath Concepts High Tech Polymer

Acrylic sheets used in the wet area of your bathroom are thermoplastics, they are light weight and a shatter resistant alternative to glass. They offer a more durable solution to your bathroom, making sure your remodel lasts a lifetime. However not all acrylics are made equally. At Bath Concepts we use high density weight materials not used anywhere else. This makes our high-tech polymer products double to triple the strength of standard acrylic. We also utilize a clear acrylic cap that provides an additional barrier of protection against damage. Our acrylic bathroom shower walls use a 4K acrylic print film technology for recreating marble designs. These designs are derived from slabs of real marble. Offering you designs you can’t find anywhere else.

Completely Non-porous

One of the biggest benefits of acrylic in the wet area is that it is non-porous. Unlike porcelain, fiberglass, and tile grout, Bath Concepts high-tech polymer offers a non-porous, mildew resistant surface. Cheap plastics like fiberglass, marlite, and PVC can promote mold on their surfaces. Our high-tech polymer inhibits the growth of mold and other bacteria on the surface. This makes it easier to clean. Dirt, soap, shampoo, and other minerals cannot embed in the surface.

 

Easy to Clean

Because of the high-tech polymer non-porousness, it becomes easier to clean. It does not require harsh scouring with abrasive cleans and solvents, or a lot of elbow grease, it can easily be wiped off with a squeegee or vinyl puff with basic soap, or a mild vinegar solution. Whereas tile requires more upkeep and continuous cleaning because of the grout. Grout can become molded or stained if not frequently cleaned.

 

Impact Resistant

Bath Concepts high-tech polymer products are perfect for heavy wear and tear. It’s impact resistant, so if you have kids, pets, or just worried about the product cracking or chipping from everyday grind, then high-tech polymer is what you are looking for. Porcelain is a ceramic product and can chip easily, the same as fiberglass, which is a gel coat and can crack. Our high-tech polymer can absorb impact with damage to the surface. You don’t have to worry about dings and dents if you drop a shampoo bottle.

Renewable surface

If the high-tech polymer does manage to get damaged, it can easily be repaired to like-new conditions. Bath Concepts offers 2 different repair kits for buffing out scratches, scruffs, and surface imperfections. High-tech polymer is designed to last a lifetime in the home. That way it can look brand new even years down the line.

High Gloss Luster & UV Stabilized

High-tech polymer is inherently glossy, which allows it to reflect more light, enhancing the size of the bathroom and creating a brighter space. It maintains its appearance and color identity throughout its entire lifetime because it is UV stable. Whereas other materials such as fiberglass and PVC shower enclosures can bleach, yellow, and fade over time. Making them lackluster, dull, and even dark in appearance.

 

 

Higher Thermal Rating

When it comes to soaking in a bath, you want your water to maintain its heat. Nothing destroys the relaxation of your bath like having to keep refilling the tub so you can maintain a cozy temperature. High-tech polymer is the best insulator of heat of any material you can put in the wet area of your bathroom. It will keep the water hot up to 4 times longer than any pressed steel or cast-iron iron tub. Making it the best material for frequent bathers.

 

It’s easy to see why you should choose acrylic materials for your next bathroom remodel.
