Comparing Shower Remodeling Options
When remodeling your shower, it’s important to weigh your options carefully. Standard shower inserts are a common choice, offering a simple and affordable solution that’s ideal for those on a tight budget. However, for homeowners seeking greater design variety, customization, and long-lasting durability, a custom shower like KOHLER® LuxStone® stands out with distinct advantages.
Read on as we explore these choices and discover what sets LuxStone apart from standard premade shower kits on the market.
Material Quality and Durability
The primary distinction between KOHLER LuxStone and standard shower inserts lies in the quality of materials used. LuxStone shower walls are crafted from a unique blend of natural crushed stone and fiber strands, offering exceptional strength, durability, and flexibility.
Conversely, standard shower inserts are typically made from plastic or acrylic. While these materials can serve as a quick and budget-friendly solution, they often fall short in terms of durability and design.
Customization Options
When it comes to personalization, KOHLER LuxStone allows you to customize every detail to suit your preferences:
- Wall patterns
- Fixtures
- Accessories
- Dimensions
Whether you envision a sleek, modern design or something more traditional, every aspect of your LuxStone shower can be tailored to bring your vision to life.
In contrast, standard shower inserts offer limited options for customization. Most inserts are designed as one-size-fits-all solutions, typically available in a narrow range of styles and colors. This lack of flexibility can make it challenging to achieve the unique design elements or perfect fit that many homeowners seek.
Aesthetic Appeal
KOHLER LuxStone offers a modern, timeless finish crafted to elevate the look and feel of your bathroom. With a wide range of wall patterns and textures to choose from, LuxStone allows you to design a shower that seamlessly complements your personal style.
In contrast, standard shower inserts often have a more utilitarian appearance, with visible seams and panels that can detract from the overall design of your bathroom. While functional, they lack the polished, high-end aesthetic that custom showers provide.
Ease of Maintenance
KOHLER LuxStone showers are designed with your convenience in mind, featuring walls that are:
- Seamless
- Grout-free
- Nonporous
- Mold, mildew, and stain-resistant
LuxStone’s easy to clean shower walls let you enjoy a pristine shower without the hassle of constant scrubbing, whereas your standard shower inserts contain seams and joints between panels that create opportunities for moisture, mold and discoloration.
The Installation Process
A trained professional installs every KOHLER LuxStone shower, ensuring a smooth and efficient process. In many cases, the installation can be completed in as little as a day, minimizing disruption to your home and daily routine. Kohler’s expert team handles every detail, from removing the old shower to fitting your new, custom LuxStone shower.
When you purchase an insert or shower kit, installation can get more complicated. If you don’t have the knowledge or experience to install the shower yourself, you’ll need to hire someone to do it for you. This can be an added expense and could come with a longer project timeline depending on their skill level.
Warranty and Customer Support
KOHLER LuxStone showers are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty and Kohler’s exceptional customer care, ensuring peace of mind and unparalleled support throughout your ownership experience. Unlike standard shower inserts, which may offer only basic or limited protection plans, LuxStone’s warranty covers material defects and workmanship issues for the long term.
This comprehensive coverage, combined with Kohler’s 150 years of expertise and commitment to quality, sets LuxStone apart. With dedicated customer service ready to assist, you can trust that your investment is protected and supported by a brand known for excellence.
KOHLER LuxStone: Your Shower Your Way
With its high-quality materials, customizable designs, and sleek, grout-free finish, KOHLER LuxStone offers a durable and stylish solution for enhancing your bathroom. Combined with fast, professional installation and the peace of mind that comes with Kohler’s Limited Lifetime Warranty and dedicated customer care, LuxStone stands out as a top choice for homeowners seeking both beauty and functionality.
