Understanding the Advantages of Acrylic and ABS Shower Kits
When selecting materials for a shower renovation, understanding how acrylic and ABS perform can make all the difference in daily maintenance. Think of these advanced materials like a high grade protective shell: the outer acrylic layer provides a smooth, non porous, scratch and stain resistant surface that fights off soap scum and hard water spots, while the underlying ABS and fiberglass reinforcement act as a sturdy structural backbone. This layered construction keeps the shower base rigid underfoot while remaining lightweight enough for manageable installation. By combining the base with watertight connecting wall panels, the entire assembly works as a unified defense system against moisture intrusion.
Installation Guide
Ensure the subfloor is completely level and clean prior to setting the single threshold shower base.
Install the QWALL-5 backwall panels directly over existing finished surfaces rather than right against exposed studs.
Trim the sidewall panels carefully during installation to achieve a snug, accurate fit in your alcove.
Apply recommended waterproof silicone sealant at all panel joints and perimeter edges to ensure a watertight seal.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing: Spray down the acrylic walls and shower base with warm water after each use to wash away soap residue.
Routine Cleaning: Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth with mild, non abrasive liquid dish soap or acrylic safe cleaner.
Stain Prevention: Wipe away standing water and moisture periodically to maintain the high gloss white finish.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use scouring pads, steel wool, ammonia, or bleach based cleaners that can dull the acrylic surface.
Shelf Maintenance: Clean the included glass corner shelves regularly with a gentle glass cleaner to prevent soap film buildup.
