Bathroom Remodeling Questions | Ceramic Tile Shower Or Fiberglass?

When remodeling your bathroom from scratch one of the questions that will arise is what type of shower or bath to put in.  If you’re going for a shower or a shower/bath combo, you have to decide what type of shower you’re going to install.

Typically it’s either a ceramic tile shower installation or it’s a fibreglass shower.  And each has it’s advantages and disadvantages. 

For example, some pros of a ceramic tile shower are:

• Looks very nice
• Long lasting – durability

But there are also some cons too, like:

• Harder to keep clean
• Can have leaks because it’s not made of one piece of fibreglass with no seams
• Can be much more costly

And conversely, fibreglass has its own pros and cons.  The pros:

• Inexpensive
• Easy to clean
• Stain resistant

And the cons:

• Not as durable
• Not as attractive or elegant

So both have their ups and downs.  The important thing is to make sure to choose the right shower for you.  If you would like help with your bathroom installation or would like advice please call us today for a free initial consultation.
