Custom Tiled Showers vs. Fiberglass Prefab Shower Stalls

Custom Tiled Showers From Krause Flooring

Your bathroom is a sanctuary where you relax after a long day or get ready to go out to a special dinner. Considering how much time you spend in your bathroom, you deserve a space that fits your preferences like a glove. Custom tiled showers from Krause Flooring give your Mandeville bathroom the upscale, sophisticated look you’ve always wanted.

Tiled Showers vs. Fiberglass Prefab in Mandeville, LA

Fiberglass showers are mass-produced. They don’t offer much as far as personalization. Prefabricated showers include wall panels to protect your bathroom from water damage and install quickly in standard-sized bathrooms.

Prefabricated showers are a good choice for those on a tight budget. They’re fairly durable, and basic options usually cost around $1,000. If you’re someone who prefers upgrades like better fixtures or a steam shower, expect a much higher bill.

A fiberglass shower may not work in a home with unusual bathroom dimensions. Prefabricated showers come in standard sizes, and trying to make one fit in your home could saddle you with extra construction costs.

Though the upfront cost is appealing, you might change your mind when the time comes for shower repair. Despite the popularity of fiberglass showers, finding replacement parts is difficult. If you can’t find the part you need, you could end up having to replace the whole thing, canceling out your budget-friendly decision.

Custom tiled showers provide a look that reflects your style. You can design the shower of your dreams, choosing multiple shower heads, storage options, and finishings that exude a high-end vibe. You can choose any type and color of tile, from sea glass to solid stone.

Our custom tiled showers work with any bathroom, big or small. Our team can help you choose tiles and finishings that fit your space’s size and decor to ensure the results are like a dream made real.

When we meet with you for a consultation, we will inspect your bathroom to ensure it can handle the weight of a custom tile shower. Not every subfloor will withstand the heft of ceramic tiles, and the last thing you want is to realize that after we finish the project. A weak floor structure could cause your shower to buckle or collapse, breaking the tile and causing injury.

Protecting Your Bathroom

Investing in custom installation instead of trying a DIY project ensures you won’t have any hidden water leaks that could lead to mold infestation. Grout applied to wall tiles improperly will let water seep in, allowing mold to grow without you knowing, as it causes serious health problems. 

Our expert shower installation prevents water damage that is very expensive to repair if it goes undetected for weeks or months. We know it’s not always easy to think in the long term, but showers are proof that, in some cases, a higher initial investment can lead to bigger savings over time.
