Is your cleaning and maintenance staff sick and tired attempting <\/em>to clean fiberglass surrounds or scrubbing black mold from tile grout joints?<\/p>

Is your management team looking for a cost-effective, yet stylish bathtub or shower wall surround<\/a> alternative which is not only durable and 100% waterproof, but makes guests, tenants, and students (and their parents) excited to use your properties?<\/p>

If so, you know it\u2019s challenging finding a fashion-forward, affordable, grout free bathroom wall surround<\/a> panel for your multi-unit project. And it can be even harder getting \u2018the straight scoop\u2019 on how to compare one system to another (since all the web pages you read are \u2018slanted\u2019 to promote what that<\/em> manufacturer is selling).<\/p>

Given this challenge it\u2019s my goal in this article to give you this \u2018straight scoop.\u2019 I\u2019ll provide a \u2018deep dive\u2019 (and I have to tell you I hate that corporate buzzword, but I threw it in for fun) into 2 high quality systems which offer stylish and cost effective alternatives for hotel, apartment building or dormitory projects.<\/p>

And although both alternatives (and I\u2019ll be comparing well-known (1) cultured marble bathroom wall panels<\/a> and lesser-known (2) laminate wall panels<\/a>) are sound choices, their respective strengths and weaknesses as outlined below will guide you to the right choice for your job.<\/p>

And if this article DOESN\u2019T accomplish this goal \u2013 I\u2019m offering you a money-back guarantee. OK, I\u2019m just kidding because I know you\u2019re not paying to read this anyway.<\/p>

So, in the 9 criteria below I\u2019ll \u2018grade\u2019 (and name a \u2018winner\u2019) between cultured marble and laminate bathtub and shower surround panels for multi-unit properties<\/a>. At the end, I\u2019d love your comments (or questions) on which you think is best.<\/p>

Criterion #1 \u2013 The price of laminate vs. cultured marble bath and shower surround panels\u00a0 in multi-unit projects\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>

OK \u2013 I\u2019m going to lead with the #1 question buyers have (unless you have an unlimited budget \u2013 and I can hear the pin drop as I wrote that), which is pricing.<\/p>

And if you\u2019re wondering which system costs less, the answer is for projects needing shipments of 20 shower or tub systems or more at a time, the answer is \u00bc\u201d thick cultured marble panels<\/a>. This price of these panels is about 50% of the cost of the laminate system. They\u2019ll \u2018win\u2019 (from a price standpoint) every time when you can buy in bulk and have room to store materials.
\"Criterion<\/a><\/p>

However, if you\u2019re only able to ship 1 to 5 systems at a time, the laminate panels<\/a> (which ship LTL in crates) will be more cost-effective.<\/p>

And if you\u2019re wondering about actual system costs, for a 60\u201d x 32\u201d x 84\u201d alcove shower the cultured stone bulk shipment prices will be from $300 to $600 per unit and laminate panels (in the 1 to 5 unit range) will be from $800 to $1,400 (although larger shipments will bring pricing down).<\/p>

\u2026.and the \u2018winner\u2019 for bulk shipments is (cultured marble panels) and for smaller shipments (laminate wall panels) \u00a0

\"\"<\/a>
<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Criterion #2 \u2013 Pattern and color choices \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>

You\u2019re designing a chic boutique hotel bathroom\u2026<\/p>

Or you\u2019re designing a modern, funky, urban apartment…<\/p>

Or you\u2019re designing a hip dormitory bathroom which needs to stand out from the pack (and no, I\u2019m not talking about the Pac-10).<\/p>

You need to differentiate your property. So \u2013 which of these 2 wall panels should you choose?<\/p>

Well \u2013 there\u2019s really no debate here \u2013 the clear winner is \u2026. laminate wall panels.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

And why you may ask?<\/p>

Well, with over 700 options (yes, you read that right) and 29 patterns IN STOCK in the United States, these uber-fresh Norwegian laminate panels<\/a> have it all over the plainer cultured stone.
\"Criterion<\/a><\/p>

If you want a hip urban vibe, consider a pattern like cracked cement<\/a>. And if you\u2019re creating rustic cabins or a glamping project \u2013 the rustic rough wood pattern<\/a> will give you the warmth of a lodge. In addition, you\u2019ll eliminate grout joints and hard to maintain products from your properties (and can help your stressed cleaning staff reduce time to service each room).
\"Criterion<\/a><\/p>

\"\"<\/a>

Criterion #3 \u2013 You\u2019re choosing between a gloss or matte finish <\/strong><\/h2>

Since both lines are available in a gloss or matte finish, these products are in a \u2018dead heat\u2019 whether you want \u2018gloss\u2019 or \u2018matte.\u2019<\/p>

\u2026.and the \u2018winner\u2019 is \u2018pick \u2018em\u2019 (you\u2019ve got gloss and matte options with both systems) \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Criterion #4 \u2013 Material weight and thickness \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>

If you\u2019re more comfortable with a heavy material for your multi-unit project, the \u00bc\u201d thick cultured marble panels<\/a> will answer the call. And you\u2019ll know this because a 60\u201d x 96\u201d x \u00bc\u201d thick panel (this is the maximum size of a single panel) will weigh 85 lbs.<\/p>

On the flip side with laminate shower panels<\/a>, your installer (especially if you have only one person available for the installation) will appreciate they can handle the 23.6\u201d wide x 94.4\u201d tall x 3\/8\u201d thick click-lock panels alone since they only weigh 26.6 lbs. a piece.
\"criterion<\/a><\/p>

\u2026.and the winner is if you like a heavier material (cultured marble panels) and if you like a thicker material which can be installed by one person (laminate wall panels). <\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Criterion #5 \u2013 Speed of installation \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>

Since a typical alcove cultured marble bathtub or shower wall panel<\/a> system is delivered in 3 panels (one 60\u201d wide back wall panel and two side panels 30\u201d to 32\u201d wide) which are adhered as a single sheet to moisture resistant greenboard, they\u2019re more time-effective than the laminate panels (which while quick, do require at least one click-lock connection in a typical tub or bathtub surround).<\/p>

\u2026.and the winner is cultured marble panels

\"\"<\/a>
<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Criterion #6 \u2013 You need the product Y-E-S-T-E-R-D-A-Y! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>

In a perfect world you\u2019d be able to get every product you want, exactly when you need it. However, unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock the last few tumultuous years, you know that\u2019s NOT the way the \u2018real world\u2019 works.<\/p>

Product lead times have never been more unpredictable.<\/p>

And when it comes to cultured marble panels for your hotel<\/a>, apartment, or dorm project, I need to break the bad news to you right now. And that news is these panels are built to order. Lead times vary from 5 weeks to 15 weeks.<\/p>

On the other hand, laminate shower panels<\/a> are carried in inventory and ready for immediate shipment \u2013 whether you need one system for a repair, or 20 showers. However, you\u2019ll need to plan ahead when using laminate panels if your project is greater than 20 showers since the depth of inventory may not be adequate for a \u00a0very large order.
\"Criterion<\/a><\/p>

\u2026.and the winner is laminate wall panels

\"\"<\/a>
<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Criterion #7 \u2013 Do you want matching (or contrasting) shower bases and accessories with your wall panels? <\/strong><\/h2>

If making selections \u2013 and matching colors, materials and textures \u2013 makes you break out in hives, take a close look at cultured marble wall panels<\/a>. With this system you\u2019ll get color-matched cultured marble shower pans<\/a> and accessories. They\u2019ll make selections easy-peasy.
\"Criterion<\/a><\/p>

However, if you want more punch and interest in your shower, you\u2019ll find a wide range of oversized niches<\/a> and stylish modern low profile shower pans<\/a> available to use with your laminate panels and you\u2019ll add more interest and style to your design.
\"Criterion<\/a><\/p>

\u2026. So, the winner is cultured marble wall panels if you want a simple match AND the winner is laminate wall panels if you want a bold, contrasting look.
<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Criterion #8 \u2013 Ease of cleaning <\/strong><\/h2>

The big reasons for upgraded wall panels (like laminate or cultured marble) are to (1) blow up evil tile grout joints \u2013 and the mold and extra cleaning staff time which come with them \u2013 and (2) to get rid of fiberglass surrounds you can\u2019t get clean.<\/p>

And the wonderful feature about both systems is they\u2019ll achieve these goals and they\u2019re non-porous and can be cleaned with non-toxic (and non-abrasive) cleaners.<\/p>

\u2026.and the winner is cultured marble AND laminate wall panels <\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Criterion #9 \u2013 A realistic look <\/strong><\/h2>

A reason IMHO grout free wall panels have been excluded from higher end hotels and market rate properties in the past is \u2018standard\u2019 wall panels made from fiberglass and acrylic look cheap and \u2018plasticky.\u2019 And of course, that\u2019s because they ARE cheap and plasticky!<\/p>

And in today\u2019s competitive world \u2013 you need for tenants, students, and hotel guests to see your property as memorable \u2013 and memorable in a GOOD way!
\"Criterion<\/a><\/p>

And if you\u2019re looking for a stylish and realistic wall panel<\/a> system, laminate (with its 3 dimensional design) is a smart choice. And you can select, for example, 90 degree ocean blue herringbone for a contemporary look, or a moody black hexagon pattern<\/a> for a funky hotel.
\"Criterion<\/a><\/p>

\u00a0<\/strong>…and the winner is laminate wall panels

\"\" <\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>

So, is cultured marble or a laminate wall panel best for your apartment, hotel, or dormitory project?<\/strong><\/h2>

So \u2013 now I\u2019m going to make you \u2018choose sides.\u2019 Which system is best for you?<\/p>

And if you\u2019re still not sure \u2013 (and it may be difficult to select without seeing the product AND knowing specifically what it\u2019ll cost for your project) \u2013 contact me and my team for free samples and more insights.<\/p>
