Wall surrounds are one of the most critical components of any shower or tub. Their importance may not be obvious, but understanding the value they bring to your shower or tub will help you gain a new appreciation.
Working with a passionate team that values the importance of quality shower and tub wall surrounds can help you determine the best choice for your bathroom and invigorate your space with quality and beauty.
The Purpose of Wall Surrounds
Wall surrounds refer specifically to the wall area encompassing the exterior of your tub or shower. Their function is to keep the walls dry while the tub or shower is in use, maintaining the integrity of those surrounding walls by buffering them from excessive water exposure. The surrounds are a vital extension of your tub or shower, keeping water in place and funneling it toward the drain.
Nonporous materials make up your wall surrounds, like your tub or shower. It may seem the only purpose of wall surrounds is decorative, but wall surrounds prevent structural damage to your home, which can often go unnoticed and be very costly.
Shower and tub wall surrounds prevent mold, mildew, and rot, which all compromise the integrity of your home. There is a direct link between mold and mildew with health issues such as allergies, upper respiratory tract symptoms, wheezing and coughing, watery eyes, and skin irritations. Quality shower and tub wall surrounds are essential.
Why Choose Wall Surrounds
Shower and tub wall surrounds are a great way to improve your bathroom. Let’s look at the many reasons why choosing wall surrounds will fit the needs of your home.
Numerous Options
You may prefer a more traditional look for your wall surrounds, like white. But there are so many options to choose from. Shower and tub wall surrounds come in diverse colors, patterns, and textures that compliment the look of your home while providing valued protection.
Wall surrounds are created with the textures of tile or stone and can be designed to look like marble, creating a high-end product without high-end maintenance.
Ease in Maintenance
Unlike some materials, shower and tub wall surrounds are engineered of material that repels water. They require minimal maintenance and are not burdensome to clean. Superior materials keep your shower and tub area feeling fresh and looking great because wall surrounds are not as susceptible to retaining dirt, encouraging organic growth such as mold, and discoloration.
Wall surrounds are not prone to the maintenance nightmares of some materials that chip and crack, meaning they will be less likely to need repairs or replacement.
