What Are Some of the Most Durable Bathroom Materials?

The bathroom is one of the most-heavily-used areas of the house, so everything in it needs to be able to withstand all sorts of abuse. Ideally, its various components should also need very little maintenance. Durability and ease of cleaning are some of the most important qualities you should look for in your bathtub shower replacement and other bathroom remodeling projects. Today, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Aiken will discuss some of the most durable materials you can use in a bathroom.

Cast Iron Tub

A cast iron tub is one of the toughest and most durable home furnishings you can find. It will not scratch, dent or chip — unlike other bathtub materials. However, it could require you to shore up your bathroom floors with extra support to carry the weight. A cast iron bathtub will last you for your entire lifetime as long as you keep it well-maintained.

Acrylic Panel Shower Walls

Acrylic panel shower walls are lightweight yet incredibly durable. They can resist peeling, cracking and chipping while being much easier to maintain than stone tiles. Unlike stone tiles, acrylic panel shower walls are nailed directly to wall studs or glued to the wallboards. This means they don’t need grout. Acrylic is also colored all the way through so scratches are not obvious on the surface.

Glazed Porcelain Tile Flooring

Glazed porcelain tile floors won’t absorb water like laminate and other porous materials do. This makes them one of the best choices for bathroom flooring. Glazed glass porcelain tiles are likewise practically stain-proof — as are the latest high-quality urethane and epoxy grouts, which don’t require any sealing either. The bottom line is that this flooring option needs minimal maintenance to look good.
