Easier to install than tile or stone shower pans

Better built than cheap ‘box-store’ shower pans
Your shower base is the ‘foundation’ of the shower. If it cracks, you have a BIG problem. These bases are built to last. They are mounted on multi-density fiberboard (MDF) and reinforced with fiberglass reinforced polymers. You won’t hear any squeaking or cracking when you walk on them.
-
Different curb heights to fits your family’s needs (today & tomorrow)
If you install a new shower, then a few years later a family member can’t get into the space, now you have a ‘re-remodel’ on your hands (and lots of wasted money). The ‘Contempo’ line is stylishly designed to fit your needs today (and tomorrow). Choose low-profile shower pans, or even accessible bases which won’t compromise looks.

Easy to cleanAll you’ll need is soap and water to clean your shower base. No toxic chemicals. No more down on your knees cleaning mosaic tile grout joints.
-
5 designs in one pan saves you money vs. custom pans

However, you only find expensive custom pans to make this work. With the ‘Contempo FlexPan’ with the add on flange adapter, you can use the same pan for 5 different shower designs.

Acrylic Shower Pan Options
While there are a lot of acrylic shower pans in the market, there aren’t many with the flexibility, fashion-forward designs, safety, strength and relaxation options you’ll find in the Innovate ‘Contempo’ series. Read about ‘FlexPan,’ seated, accessible, shaped and low-profile bases to compliment your bathroom.
The ‘FlexPan’ Low Profile Acrylic and Cultured Stone Shower Pans
While ‘one size’ really doesn’t fit all in clothing – or in shower pans for that matter – there is one pan which can flex its muscles to create 5 different designs (and save you money without having to buy a custom pan).
This base is called the ‘FlexPan.’ Using an add on tile or shower wall flange adapter this 3” curb-height, low-profile pan, can be used in 5 shower configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Acrlyic Shower Pans
Yes – you’re not limited by what type of glass you use. However, with the curved and seated bases it’s far simpler (and more cost-effective) to pair the Contempo modern shower pans with the glass systems which are made for them.
Low profile (3” of shorter) curbs are preferred with contemporary designs likes Minimalist, Modern Farmhouse, Transitionalist and Mid-Century Modern.
10 years – although these bases will last much longer.
Yes – tile pans are time-consuming to install due to the amount of preparation and cutting tiles. Acrylic pans install in a fraction of the time.
This is not a simple to do and is not recommended. Since the base is the ‘foundation’ of the shower – and will have flanges which go behind your wall surround materials – it’s best to install the base and then put in new wall panels or wall tiles.
The simplest way is to use soap and water – or other non-abrasive cleaners.
Low profile (3” or lower) and accessible shower pans are best for someone who wants to stay in their homes longer.
Since acrylic pans are made in a mold, the shower drain cannot be moved. You can get flexibility by using the ‘FlexPan’ and moving the drain from one side to another. Generally, if you want a custom drain location a custom cultured shower pan is best.
