If you’ve been in the quick installation bathroom business, acrylic wall panels are likely be your ‘go to’ product option. However, with acrylic manufacturers offering dealerships to everybody and their brother (and their brother’s brother and sister), and with consumers focused on ‘affordability,’ it’s increasingly becoming a ‘race to the bottom’ to close deals for many acrylic wall panel dealers.

Have you ever called a bathroom products supplier and immediately their tone on the phone made you feel like you (a potential customer) was ‘bothering’ them? Maybe your job was too small. Or you aren’t very knowledgeable. It was obvious they wanted to ‘punt’ you (and stop answering your long list of questions) ASAP!
