When selecting a shower base, the underlying material determines how well the unit handles daily weight and moisture exposure over the years. This model utilizes RHINO ALLOY certified marine grade acrylic bonded with high yield fiberglass reinforcement. Think of it like the hull of a boat, where outer resilience meets internal structural framing to absorb impact and resist flexing. This multi-layered construction prevents the surface from feeling hollow or spongy, ensuring a solid stepping platform that maintains its glossy appearance through thousands of uses.
Installation Guide
Verify that the subfloor is completely level, clean, and structurally sound before positioning the shower base.
Dry fit the 48 x 36 inch unit in the corner alcove to check alignment with the center drain location and surrounding wall studs.
Apply a compatible structural mortar or bedding compound underneath the base to provide uniform weight distribution.
Secure the integrated tile flange directly to the wall studs using appropriate fasteners without over-tightening.
Allow the installation to cure fully before applying waterproof wall tile or glass enclosure panels.
Care & Maintenance
Routine CleaningWipe down the high gloss white surface weekly using a soft cloth or sponge with mild dish soap and warm water.
Stain PreventionRinse the acrylic basin thoroughly after each shower to prevent soap scum buildup and hard water mineral deposits.
Avoid AbrasivesNever use scouring powders, steel wool, or harsh chemical solvents that can dull the lustrous acrylic finish.
Scratched Surface CareBuff out minor surface blemishes using a specialized acrylic polish and a microfiber cloth in circular motions.
Drain MaintenanceKeep the center drain opening clear of hair and debris to ensure smooth and uninterrupted water evacuation.
