Throw out your tile scrub brush

Shower pans with small mosaic tiles are a pain to clean. Cultured marble and granite bases allow you to retire your scrub brush. These bases are simple to clean with soap and water or non-abrasive cleaners.
Eliminate the cost of moving the shower drain

Plumbers aren’t cheap… if you can find one to hire or get them to show up. Since custom cultured marble and granite bases allow you flexible drain locations, you’ll cut down the costs of an expensive plumber.
Different shower threshold curb heights keep your family safe

Mom’s mobility isn’t what it used to be. It’s nice to know you can choose a ramped entry, low profile or higher curb entry to suit your family’s needs. These stone shower pans are flexible to your needs.
Save money vs. natural marble or granite

When remodeling a bathroom cost is ALWAYS an issue. It’s nice knowing you can get the look of natural marble or granite at a fraction of the cost. Another side benefit is cultured products are simpler to maintain.
Textured shower floor pans are safe for everyone

Remember the ugly mats in the bottom of your bathtub growing up? Now you can get a slip-resistant bottom surface to keep your family safe. All Innovate cultured stone bases have a slip-resistant bottom.
Modern styling

Who wants a shiny shower pan which shows water spots and sticks out like a soar thumb? Innovate bases are matte finished to compliment your matte nickel and stainless hardware. They are in-fashion with today’s fun interior design styles like this Modern Farmhouse design.
Easy to clean

All 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.
Flexibility to use any type of shower walls

While cultured granite and marble bases are often used with grout free wall panels, your wall surround options are limitless. If you like tile walls – go for it. If you like contemporary laminate wall panels – they will work also.
Hygienic for your family

With no mold, mildew or fungus build-up you won’t be concerned about your family’s health.
DIY and contractor friendly

Since our bases are built as one unit (no thresholds to attach) you won’t have to worry about leakage (or investing extra time installing) separate curb components.

Cultured Marble & Granite Bases

Cultured marble and granite bases are a cast (i.e. made in a mold) polymer product made of a mixture of polyester resin, stone particles and pigments. It’s non-poruos, more stain resistant and less expensive than natural marble or granite.

Cultured Marble

While people associate cultured marble with the wavy patterning of marble, today’s fashion-forward designs have far greater possibilities. If you want a modern, minimalist look you can use a ‘behind the scenes’ matte white or biscuit color. If you want a fun, eclectic look, check out the white, gray and black lightening patterns in the ‘colors tab’ of this web page. This isn’t your Father’s old cultured marble any more.

Standard Sized Shower Pans

Innovate Building Solutions offers both standard and custom shower bases. It’s best to use standard pans (if your space is the right size) since they’re lower priced. What’s nice we’re able to customize your drain location (even in a standard pan – with the exception of the 60 x 32 size).

However, if your drain is in a non-standard location, or you have a unique shape a standard solution will not work. If you’re not sure if a standard or custom base is best, contact one of our shower and bathroom designers.

48 x 36 with a curb along the 48” side (common size to replace outdated fiberglass one-piece units).

Frequently Asked Questions About Cultured Marble, Granite & Polymarble Bases

How big a custom shower base can you make?

We can make up to 92” x 68” sized base with flexibiity in your drain location as well.

What curb designs and heights do you offer?

Most of our curb heights are the popular 4”, 3″ and 2” lower profile variety. Our standard molded 60” x 32” base come in a 4″ high shower threshold design.

How heavy are these bases?

While these bases are as durable as all get-out – we won’t tell you they’re light. You can estimate a weight of approximately 9 pounds per square foot. For example, if you have a 48” x 36” shower pan (or 12 square feet) it will weigh about 108 pounds (12 square feet x 9 pounds per square feet).

How long is your guarantee?

10 years – although these bases will last much longer.

Are your bases going to be slippery?

No. Our bases have textured finishes and have to meet stringent government slip-coefficient standards.

Are these bases cheaper to build than tile?

Yes, no and maybe. How’s that for an answer? Seriously there are a number of factors to consider when comparing tile showers to cultured marble. What type of tile are you using? Are you doing it yourself or having a contractor professionally install it? What type of tile shower base are you using? What is universally true is cultured granite, marble or polymarble bases will outlast their tile counterparts and won’t require visits from a ‘Grout Doctor’ to maintain them. They will save you money in the long-run.

What’s better a matte finished base or a glossy one?

Our bases are made with a matte finish for 2 reasons. High gloss bases = high maintenance bases. Glossy bases have a bad way of showing water spots. Secondly, matte finish works with matte nickel, brushed nickel, matte black and rose gold hardware which is popular today.

How will I clean my base?

The simplest way is to use soap and water – or other non-abrasive cleaners.

Is a matte finish base difficult to clean?

Absolutely not. Since the bases are non-porous they clean up quickly – plus the matte finish works with matte finished hardware which is on-trend with today’s design style.

What if I get scratches?

With a rubbing compound and a buffer pad on an electric drill you can remove minor scratches.

What type of curb height and design do you recommend?

This depends on the people (and their mobility) using the shower and the size/shape you need. Generally, smaller showers use a higher threshold (curb). If you have a large walk in shower, a lower profile shower curb is a cleaner, more contemporary design and simpler to get in.

How should I design the size and type of shower base opening to walk through?

You want to fit your opening to both the size and mobility of the people using the shower (not just now, but also in the future). Learn more about this question by reading, “5 Proven Questions to Get the Size of Your Shower Opening Right.”

Do I need a mortar bed under the pan?

There’s no need to deal with messy mortar beds. Simple put some dabs of silicone under the pan and put it on your subfloor or underlayment material.
