FAQs about Acrylic & Tile walls
Can I remodel over existing tile, fiberglass, or plastic walls?
Yes and no. Installing an acrylic wall surround over old tiles can be done if the existing structure is not bowed or spongy. If you have an existing fiberglass or plastic unit it will have to be removed.
How can I make a small bathroom look bigger?
For small bathroom remodeling, we recommend use of light colors (add pops of color in the accessories). If you like wallpapered bathrooms, choose a vertical wallpaper pattern. Light colors and vertical lines will make the room look bigger, as well as using larger rectangular tiles.
How can I reduce the maintenance of a tile shower?
You can reduce the maintenance during the installation stage of your bathroom remodel. Smart choices in materials and design include:.
- Urethane grout - improved resistance to water, stains, and mold or mildew.
- Water-resistant tile.
- Larger tiles to minimize joints.
- Moisture-resistant or waterproof backboards.
Because acrylic does not allow the growth of mold or mildew, cleaning is very simple. In a spray bottle, make a 50:50 solution of vinegar and water or a 10:90 solution of bleach and water. Spray it on and rinse it off with a wet, soft cloth. Don't use ammonia, aerosol cleansers or abrasive materials like Tilex.
What is the #1 benefit of your acrylic system?
In a recent study, "ease of cleaning" was rated the homeowner's number one concern for shower & bath projects. Acrylic's hard non-porous surface makes it less susceptible to hard water stains, mildew, and algae versus the gel coat/fiberglass and tile grout used in typical tub/shower installations. Cleaning acrylic requires only a mild bathroom cleaner and a quick and easy wipe down with a damp sponge or cloth, even after years of use.
