Affordable Bath Remodeling Should Never Come With A Limit On Quality Products
At Twist & Spout, Our Materials Set The Bar For Premium Results At Cost-Effective Prices
Looking for a source of professional bath remodeling in Northwest Arkansas? If so, you’ll soon find out that the vast majority of local providers have something in common. Namely, they offer acrylic tub and shower systems made by the same manufacturer.
Acrylic has a lot going for it. But it also has some notable flaws.
At Twist & Spout, we’re the sole regional provider of a superior alternative – a material called compressed solid surface.
Solid-surface tubs and showers are made from two main ingredients – crushed stone and an adhesive resin. These materials are compressed together with a force of more than 2,000 lbs per square inch.
The end result is a dense, super-tough material with a smooth, non-porous surface. In multiple ways, it sets a higher standard for both looks and everyday performance.
Crucially, even in its highest available grade, compressed solid surface costs just slightly more than acrylic. This means you can take advantage of a premium product on essentially the same remodeling budget!
Increased Durability For Your Tub Or Shower
In everyday use, acrylic can develop some significant condition issues. The most common of these issues is scratching. Under certain circumstances, acrylic may also crack or even break completely.
How do our solid-surface tubs and showers stack up in these areas? In a side-by-side comparison with acrylic, they’re:
- Stronger and more solid-feeling
- Much more scratch-resistant
- Less likely to chip or break
These features make solid surface a great choice for even the busiest residential bathroom. They also contrast sharply with the flimsy acrylic found in all too many local homes.
Exceptional Look And Feel
Ask most people, and they’ll tell you that acrylic, while easy to clean, is a bit lacking in the looks department. Some manufacturers try to improve its appearance by molding it to resemble tile or stone. But the problem remains, and you’ll never mistake molded acrylic for the real thing.
That’s especially true if you touch it. Something about the feel of it just doesn’t match up.
How does compressed solid surface compare? Simply put, it looks and feels much better.
That’s true in large part because its main ingredient is real stone, not plastic. If you want a high-end appearance without the high-end cost, solid surface is for you.
Solid Surface Is Both Renewable And Repairable
It’s unlikely that you’ll ever scratch or chip your solid-surface tub or shower. But what if you do? Compressed solid surface has properties that make it both renewable and repairable.
What exactly does that mean? Say, for example, you scratch your shower or tub. All you have to do to renew the surface and restore its appearance is buff it out.
You can also repair more serious forms of damage. This is most important during installation, where, for example, a hole may be drilled incorrectly. But it’s also good to know on those rare occasions when solid surface may chip or crack after it’s installed.
Multiple Options At Affordable Price Points
At Twist & Spout, we offer solid-surface tubs and showers in three grades – Bronze, Silver, and Gold. All three grades come with the core features that make this material a great go-to option.
What’s the difference between them?
For starters, our Silver solid surface is a bit thicker than Bronze. In turn, Gold is a bit thicker than Silver. In addition, the higher grades give you access to more color and pattern options.
Crucially, all three grades of our solid-surface tubs and showers are super-affordable. Bronze and Silver actually cost less than acrylic. And Gold is just a bit more expensive.
What does this mean for you and your household? There’s no reason to spend a lot of money for a first-rate tub or shower!
