What Materials Do We Use in Our Bathroom Remodels?
What Materials Do We Use?
One of the most common questions homeowners ask when considering a bathroom remodel is: "What are your showers and tubs actually made of?" It's a smart question.
While most bathroom remodels look great on day one, the materials used behind the scenes often determine how that bathroom performs five, ten, or even twenty years from now.
At L.J. Stone, we believe a bathroom remodel should do more than look beautiful. It should be built to handle daily use, resist moisture, stay easy to maintain, and provide long-term value for your home.
That's why we focus on high-performance materials and proven installation methods that are designed to last.
A Great Bathroom Remodel Starts Beneath the Surface
When homeowners compare bathroom remodeling companies, they often focus on colors, fixtures, and design options. Those details matter, but what you don't see is often just as important as what you do.
A quality bathroom remodel starts with creating a solid foundation.
Rather than covering up existing issues, we remove the old tub or shower system so we can inspect the structure behind the walls. This allows us to identify and address potential concerns before your new system is installed.
The result is a bathroom that isn't just attractive—it is built to perform for years to come.
Why We Use High Tech Polymer Materials
These systems are constructed using a proprietary high tech polymer material, a durable blend of premium polymers engineered specifically for bathroom environments.
Unlike traditional fiberglass systems that can flex, fade, or become difficult to maintain over time, our polymer systems are designed for strength, durability, and long-term performance.
Our products are also backed by a lifetime material warranty from the manufacturer, giving homeowners added peace of mind long after the project is complete.
Four Examples of Materials That Help Your Bathroom Last
Solid, Durable Shower Walls
Your shower walls are one of the most frequently used surfaces in your home.
Our polymer wall system is thicker and more durable than many standard acrylic or fiberglass alternatives. The non-porous surface prevents moisture penetration to help inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew.
For homeowners, that means easier cleaning and a bathroom that stays looking newer longer.
Premium Shower Glass
Not all shower glass is created equal.
The glass used in our shower systems features a protective coating designed to reduce water spotting and mineral buildup. Because the surface is smoother and less porous than lower-quality alternatives, routine cleaning becomes much easier.
It's one of those details that may seem small at first but can make a noticeable difference every week you use your shower.
Moisture-Resistant Backer Systems
The materials behind your walls matter just as much as the materials you see every day.
That's why we use moisture-resistant backer systems designed specifically for wet environments. These materials help create a strong foundation for your new shower while providing excellent resistance to mold and moisture-related issues.
When installed correctly, they help protect the integrity of your bathroom for years to come.
Reinforced Shower Bases and Tubs
Your shower base or bathtub absorbs a tremendous amount of daily use.
All of our bases and tubs are reinforced with high-density spray foam, providing additional strength and support while helping reduce movement and noise during use.
Each base is custom-sized for the space and designed to create a clean, finished appearance that fits your bathroom properly.
Quality Materials Matter—But Installation Matters Too
Even the best materials can fail if they are not installed correctly.
That's why we place just as much emphasis on our installation process as we do on the products themselves. Our trained installation teams follow proven systems and procedures designed to ensure your new bathroom performs the way it was intended to.
When quality materials and quality workmanship come together, homeowners gain something even more valuable than a beautiful bathroom: Confidence that their investment was built to last.
The Bottom Line:
If you're comparing bathroom remodeling options, don't just ask how a shower looks.
Ask what it's made of.
Ask what's behind the walls.
Ask how it's installed.
The answers to those questions often determine whether you'll still be happy with your remodel years from now.
At L.J. Stone, we believe homeowners deserve complete transparency about the products we install and the process we follow. The more informed you are, the more confident you'll feel in whatever decision is right for your home.
