Why Choose Cultured Marble?
Cultured Marble Vs. Tile
The traditional method for installing tiled showers is time and labor intensive, creating a water in/water out. Contrary to popular belief tile is not waterproof. Moisture will infiltrate the mortar bed and solid backing on the walls. The moisture must percolate through the mortar bed to the sloped pan liner and through the weep holes in the drain. With regular use of the shower, the mortar bed can remain saturated. This increases the potential for mold.
David Gobis, a tile independent technical consultant, inspected no less than 3, 000 showers in a 12 month period that had water damage. The places where the damage was found ranged from homes of disabled retired couples to buildings of multi billion dollar developers. Gobis estimates millions of dollar in replacement and repair of tile work in water damaged structures. Cultured marble offers a long term solution. Cultured marble is designed specifically for the bathroom industry and is a time tested and proven product. It is impervious to mold, mildew, bacteria, and water. It can fashioned into tub and shower walls, tub decks, skirts, shower floors, shelves, countertops, splashes, sills, and more.
