The material you use for your shower enclosures during a bathroom renovation project matters. You have to choose the shower base first, as it is the very foundation of your shower enclosure. In this article, trusted shower contractor South Shore Dream Bath explains the advantages of choosing an acrylic shower base.

A shower base should be durable and safe. Over the years, the acrylic shower base has been the smart choice of homeowners. The following are some reasons why choosing an acrylic shower base is beneficial to your home:

Cost-Effective

Choosing an acrylic shower base is highly cost-effective. The material is manufactured in huge batches, so they are known to be inexpensive. An acrylic shower base is an economical decision for your home. Acrylic is as strong and durable as other hard custom materials, yet costs less. Acrylic material is also light yet stable, making it convenient to utilize in a small bathroom.

Less Maintenance

Maintaining the acrylic’s good condition and cleanliness is easy. In cleaning, you can easily wipe the acrylic shower walls and floor with soap and water. Acrylic is non-porous and conveniently waterproof. Compared to tiles and other materials, acrylic is easier to deal with. The material is also easy to install.

Warm and Comfortable

Another advantage of acrylic is that it’s always warm to the touch. Acrylic does not absorb the coldness in your bathroom. You don’t have to worry about your feet being cold when you enter the shower. In addition, some acrylic models come with an integrated bench seat. Unlike tile showers, acrylic has already had the corner seat installed properly.
