Accessories are Necessities In Your Tile Shower And Tub Surround

The main reason I started this business is because as an installer of twenty five years, I’d seen a sad lack of quality products for stone, porcelain, and ceramic tile installations, especially in the shower and tub surrounds. Most products available were completely uniform, colorless, bulky, and brutal. In fact, most of the products designed to handle the issue of where to put everything were downright cheap looking. Most manufacturers of these products truly did not want to be bothered with anything they couldn’t sell at a substantial profit by manufacturing it in mass quanities. This left most homeowners with little options and even less solutions.

     So, the question was asked, ‘Does all this truly matter? Isn’t accessories for your shower or tub surround just that, accessories not necessities?’ Absolutely not! You wouldn’t buy a brand new car without seats. The same holds true for your shower or tub surround project. You’re putting all this time, money, and effort into creating a space you actually want to be in, so why would you not want appropriate storage and usable space that will actually enhance the area? The proper shelving and accessories can make the difference between an area that invites you in and is relaxing with easy access to everything or a disfunctional shower with conflicting materials and and a junky appearance.

     When designing your shower or tub surround area, ask yourself ‘how will I be using the space’? Where do you want your soaps, shampoos, bath beads, etc? Do you have a special area that is easily accessible that you need storage? What about the image your space evokes? Does the storage ideas you’ve thought of really compliment the space or does it look like you went discount shopping at garage sales and threw it together? Remember that home improvements such as the cost and resources that go into a tub or shower surround can increase your home’s value, so you don’t want to downplay that investment either. Choose wisely and you’ll be enjoying the fruitage of your well thought out plans and getting the highest return on investment.
