Since this is a solid surface base which doesn’t absorb water, it’s also anti-bacterial.

InnovaStone shower pans are crafted from a blend of carefully selected natural stone minerals and high-performance binders, protected by a state-of-the-art coated finish. This stone-rich composition delivers the authentic look and feel of natural stone, in an anti-slip surface with outstanding durability and resistance to impact, scratched and stains. The result is a refined surface that brings a warm, natural character to the shower space, where design and performance meet.

Since PVC tile flanges are added at the site (vs. at the factory) the same shower pan can be used for a corner shower, alcove shower or even with a glass shower door system with glass on 3 sides depending on which side(s) you use the flanges. Now that’s a flexible pan!

Each low-profile shower pan includes 3 PVC tile (or grout free shower wall surround) flanges, a decorative drain cover and an ABS drain kit. And if you want to use your own drain, any standard 2” drain will work.

The most popular options with grout-free InnovaStone bases are grout free shower wall panels and glass shower doors. Ask your Innovate Building Solutions Representative for information about these products.

However, you’ll not only save money with a InnovaStone pan vs. a professionally installed tile shower – but you won’t have to clean evil grout joints or worry about a leaking tile shower pan. And most remodelers and builders give little – to no – warranty with tile showers. 

And if you need a custom size, it may be possible to field trim (or get a factory free cut InnovaStone pan) which can save you a lot of money versus a custom pan.
