Whether you\u2019re doing a private pay project in an upscale neighborhood for an elderly couple or trying to offer the lowest bid for a waiver job \u2013 the needs of your customers, and your wants as a contractor need to be balanced to make the correct <a href=\"https:\/\/innovatebuildingsolutions.com\/become-a-panelpro-dealer\/\">shower surround wall panel<\/a> choice.<\/p><p>And let\u2019s face it, this choice WILL NOT and SHOULD NOT be the same for every project\u2026 unless you want to miss profit opportunities or lose jobs you could have won.<\/p><p>However, if you\u2019re confused about the myriad (a fancy word I threw in so you\u2019d think I\u2019m smart, I hope it\u2019s working!) of choices \u2013 and when to use what wall panel system, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p><p>In this article I\u2019ll make it clearer (or I\u2019ll give you your money back) which product(s) would be best depending on what criterion is most important. In a perfect world I\u2019d compare every system known to man (and woman, I don\u2019t want to be sexist here, otherwise I\u2019d get in trouble with my wife!) \u2013 but then the article would be so long, no one would get to the end.<\/p><p>So, instead I\u2019m going to compare 4 options. They are:<br \/><br \/>1. Acrylic or fiberglass systems you buy at your local home center.<br \/>2. <em style=\"color: #333333;\">BestBath<\/em> gelcoat finished, fiberglass shower surround panels over a wood core (and their new line of laminate covered panels called Crestline).<br \/>3<em style=\"color: #333333;\">. <a href=\"https:\/\/innovatebuildingsolutions.com\/dealers\/\">Fibo high pressure laminate shower surround panels<\/a><\/em>.<br \/>4<em style=\"color: #333333;\">. <a href=\"https:\/\/innovatebuildingsolutions.com\/become-a-panelpro-dealer\/\">PanelPro rigid PVC shower surround panels<\/a><\/em>.<\/p><ul><\/ul><p>At this point you may be asking, <em>\u201cMike, do you have any \u2018skin\u2019 in this game?\u201d <\/em>And the short answer is yes, and no. And now (unfortunately) I really DO sound like a politician (and I don\u2019t say that in a positive way \u2013 ha! ha!).<\/p><p>My company wholesales to age in place, home access contractors, and retail remodeling contractors the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/innovatebuildingsolutions.com\/dealers\/\">Fibo<\/a> <\/em>and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/innovatebuildingsolutions.com\/become-a-panelpro-dealer\/\">PanelPro shower surround<\/a><\/em> lines (2 of the lines mentioned above) and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/innovatebuildingsolutions.com\/product\/barrier-free-ramped-accessible-roll-in-shower-pans\/\">BestBath shower pans<\/a><\/em> (mostly for roll in showers). However, this DOES NOT mean these are always the products <em>even I<\/em> recommend to my customers.<\/p><p>And that\u2019s because no one of the 4 offerings being compared is THE LINE, which should be used in all situations. And it\u2019s \u2018sales malpractice\u2019 \u2013 and short-sighted to get \u2018married\u2019 to one product because in the long run you\u2019re not offering your customers (and your business) the best choices by being exclusive to just one (IMHO).<\/p><p>So \u2013 in this article my goal is be as balanced and give it to you straight. Towards this end, I\u2019ll look at these 4 wall panel alternatives and \u2018grade\u2019 them along 7 criterion. At the end, whether you agree (or disagree), with my scores let me have it.

Don\u2019t buy at the store \u2013 or on-line, a system until you\u2019ve seen and touched it.
