What the AI looks for in Shower Stalls
- One-piece vs multi-piece
- One-piece units must fit through every doorway on the way in. Use multi-piece for remodels. Many one-piece stalls won't fit into an existing bathroom.
- Material
- Vikrell or reinforced acrylic over plain gelcoat fiberglass Gelcoat dulls and scratches faster.
- Rough opening and drain
- Match the exact stall dimensions and drain position to your framing and plumbing Stalls have no adjustment range.
- Accessibility
- Low-threshold or ADA-style models with integral seat or grab-bar backing if needed You can't easily add grab-bar backing later.
Brands that matter
- Sterling: Vikrell stalls in many sizes.
- Delta: Budget fiberglass stalls.
- American Standard: Acrylic and composite shower units.
- Swanstone: Solid-surface stall kits.
What to avoid
- Ordering a one-piece stall for a remodel without measuring doorways
- Installing on an out-of-level floor without bedding
