While it’s nice to have DIY shower wall panel kits, your shower pan (or shower base as some people call them) should not be neglected. After all the base is the ‘foundation’ of your shower!

And if you want a sturdy shower pan which will flow seamlessly with your shower kit, you’ll find a wonderful solution on this page.

Our standard sized shower pans use a decorative (and matching) non-slip textured top shower floor surface over an ABS plastic with an extruded polystyrene backing underneath. The curb height is 2 5/8″ tall. For a 60″ x 36″ pan you can expect it to weigh appx 75 lbs.

The custom shower pans are a solid block of high-density PVC with the decorative PVC panel on top. Curb heights and drain locations can be varied on custom bases.

Whether you need a standard shower pan, or a custom pan, you won’t need to worry about finding a matching pan which will stand the test of time. The pans have a lifetime warranty when installed by a factory authorized dealer — or a 10-year warranty when installed by a homeowner or non-certified installer.

Standard Shower Pan Sizes

36″ x 26″ alcove (center drain)
48″ x 34″ alcove (center drain)
60″ x 32″ alcove (left or right side drain)
60″ x 36″ alcove (center drain)

Patterns & Styles

Check out the 20+ natural stone colors below to create a sense of excitement for your bathroom. Whether you’ve got a traditional interior decorating scheme, transitional or contemporary design you’ll find a pattern to liven up even the drabbest bathroom. If you want to add another level of excitement look at the decorative accent trim options as well.

The finish on these tub surround and stone look shower wall panels is similar to a paint semi-gloss. They create a nice looking shine, but not as shiny as a high gloss finish. This finish has a thinner poly cover with a hard coating for superior scratch resistance.

Accessories

Trim Moldings

Just like real stone our decorative interior shower and bathtub wall panel kits come with a variety of trim moldings to dress up your project. There are moldings to finish off the edges of the panels, inside and outside corners, to cover seams between two panels and also to complete window openings and corner and bench seats.

Standard trim

The edges of our interior shower and tub surround wall panels are covered by our trim system. These trim pieces have an “L shape” are designed to overlap the panels. The small lip of the trim returns back to the drywall. This trim makes the installation easier to do (because the panels do not need to be cut perfectly) and also creates the look of real stone, marble or granite.

Remodeling trim

If you’re looking to adhere our waterproof wall panels over tile or another surface you’ll want to order your system with the “remodel trim” option. In this case the trim moldings have a longer return lip (the short leg of the “L shape” molding is longer than with the standard trim package). This longer lip can be cut to the proper depth to cover all for different tile thicknesses.

Trim Molding Sizes

If you need extra trim to work around a window, an corner, or to cover over your shower wall panels here are your options:

3″ x 96″ SG trim to cover over the edge of the 3/8″ thick panel
3″ x 96″ with a 2″ lip (for remodeling)
3″ x 96″ DG seam trim to over between 2 panels
6″ x 96″ SG trim to cover over the panel edge only
6″ x 96″ with a 2″ lip (for remodeling)
1 1/2″ x 96″ outside corner trim (L shape)
1 1/2″ x 96″ inside corner trim (L shape)
Window sill trim – 6″ (jamb extension) x 96″ with a 1″ finished lip

Shampoo shelves & niches, corner seats, and benches

The need to create soap and shampoo niches (either recessed inside the walls or extending out from the walls) is extremely important to have a well functioning and safe space. Our niches are preassembled for easy installation and create the look of real stone without the worries of leaking.

DIY Tub Surround & Shower Kit Installation Process

One of the important benefits of this system is it provides a quick and easy installation process for a contractor or do it yourself consumer alike. Follow these 4 basic installation steps for a successful hassle-free installatio.

Step 1 – Cut your shower & tub wall panels to fit and adhere to walls using polyurethane adhesive

Cut the back walls first, then the side wall panels and attach them with the polyurethane adhesive. In many cases with the DIY kits no cutting will be needed if you have a standard sized tub or shower.
Step 2 – Cut trim moldings to fit and adhere over edges of panels

Since the trim panels overlap the shower & tub wall panel edges the panel cuts don’t need to be perfect and the trim moldings can be adjusted to be level and plumb. Note – in the DIY standard kits the trim pieces are already pre-cut.
Step 3 – Install corner shelf

With the standard wall or tub kit you’ll receive one corner shelf. Screw the metal installation brackets into the wall. Then the shelf is installed as a “clamshell” over the bracket.
Step 4 – Apply 100% silicone sealant to seal all joints

Silicone sealant will be needed where a panel meets another panel or your trim meets a panel. The color match translucent sealant is available with our optional installation kit.
