Understanding the Advantages of Acrylic Capped ABS Construction
When selecting a shower base, material composition dictates both daily performance and long-term durability. This model utilizes an acrylic capped ABS sheet reinforced with layers of fiberglass underneath. Think of it like a sturdy architectural beam where the exterior layer provides a smooth, non-porous face while the hidden interior reinforcement handles the heavy load-bearing demands of daily use. The top acrylic layer resists everyday wear, scratches, and stains, while the underlying fiberglass gives the receptor its rigid structural integrity so it stays stable and secure.
Installation Guide
Ensure the subfloor is completely level, clean, and structurally sound prior to setting the shower base.
Verify drain rough-in alignment carefully, keeping in mind that a standard compression fitting drain is required and sold separately.
Use the integrated tile flanges as a guide for securing the unit against the wall studs and sealing out moisture.
Test the drainage and check for any leaks before finalizing surrounding wall panels or glass enclosure installations.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the acrylic surface regularly using a soft sponge or microfiber cloth and mild, non-abrasive liquid soap.
Stain Removal: Treat minor soap scum buildup with a mild solution of warm water and vinegar, rinsing thoroughly afterward.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use abrasive scouring powders, steel wool, or strong solvent-based cleaners, as these can dull the high gloss finish.
Prevent Scratching: Keep sharp objects and abrasive cleaning tools away from the shower floor to maintain its smooth appearance.
Rinse After Use: Flush the base with clean water after each shower to wash away residual soap and shampoo.
