When you purchase your new KOHLER\u00ae<\/sub> LuxStone\u00a0shower<\/a>, you\u2019ll gain access to exclusive LuxStone\u00ae<\/sub> shower wall designs in a variety of patterns and colors. Our shower is made of an exclusive <\/a>blend of crushed stone and other natural materials for enhanced durability and low-maintenance cleaning. <\/span><\/p>\n

To understand the benefits, compare LuxStone against the four most traditional shower interior materials: tile, fiberglass, granite and acrylic. By the time you total up these pros and cons, we\u2019re convinced you\u2019ll never scrub tile again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s review the most popular shower wall materials on the market.<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tile<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Tile provides a highly customizable option that offers the homeowner many choices for patterns and colors. While the finished product looks nice, the installation process is lengthy, involving many steps from laying the tile to grouting and sealing. The grout and tile create a porous surface, allowing for mildew and soap scum to build up, and require continuous maintenance. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Fiberglass<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Fiberglass\u2019s main attraction is the low price point, but in return, you can expect limited personalization options and reduced durability. The biggest pain point is fiberglass\u2019s tendency to stain easily, costing you in appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Granite<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Granite is a durable option<\/a> that provides a timeless look. However, granite is difficult to install because each piece is naturally unique, making it hard to cut matching slabs. Granite is also very porous in its natural form and can be hard to clean unless it is sealed properly. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Acrylic<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Acrylic is easy to clean<\/a> and simple to maintain. In return, the design options are limited. It\u2019s often considered the \u201cgreat cover-up\u201d because it is typically used to cover outdated paint or tile jobs. With this in mind, it won\u2019t add value to your home.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n
