Do you like the look of cement shower walls, but don’t want the work or cost that comes along with the project? Check out these faux concrete shower panels that can give you the look you want for a fraction of the price.
In addition, you get a faster and easier installation. Just glue and lock the panels into place! Plus, no grout to seal, trim to install, etc..
You Will Love Faux Concrete Panels When it Comes to Cleaning:
Furthermore, these large faux concrete shower wall panels are really easy to clean. This is something I appreciate every time I take a shower!
First of all, you don’t have to worry about grout lines. We’ve all seen dirty tile grout in an old shower, and now you don’t have to ever worry about that. =)
Second, the neutral mid-tone color doesn’t show soap scum or water marks like some light or dark tiles can. Therefore, your concrete tub surround can look for cleaner for longer. (And who doesn’t want that, right?)
Note: Essentially, these urban concrete shower walls give you the best of both worlds. On one hand, you get the cheap, simple installation of a shower surround. On the other hand, you get the upscale look of a custom install.
How to Install a Faux Concrete Shower Wall:
The concrete panel kit includes 2 side wall panels as well as 2 back wall panels. Simply glue the pre-cut panels to waterproof wall-board (Use Loctite Power Grab).
No messy grout or multiple time-consuming steps for this bathroom renovation project. =) Furthermore, each piece only weighs about 25 pounds, which makes installation even easier.
Each section fits snugly together with a tongue and groove design. Plus, the outer edges feature a bull nose shape for a clean, finished look.
Therefore, you can place the concrete shower surround yourself and have it look professionally installed when you’re done. You can even trim the panels to size if needed.
As you can see, you can turn an expensive, tedious and time-consuming remodel project into a much easier DIY job. Not to mention, you can have a sleek and stylish bathroom at a fraction of the cost!
As you can see, the unique, irregular patch-like coloring makes these panels look like real cement. Plus, the virtually seamless square corner fit gives this shower surround the appearance of a custom install.
Note: Do you also need a new glass shower door and a shower base?
You can save money by purchasing them as a package along with the concrete-effect panels. (The same set-up shown in the photo at the top of this page.) See the package deal.
Easy-to-Install Shower Shelves:
Lastly, complete the look of your industrial shower surround by adding metal corner shelves. Their wide bands and matte finish give them an upscale look, plus it makes them easier to install.
These shower caddies come with special adhesive or screws to fasten the shelves to the wall. However, you can also use some leftover Loctite instead for a secure hold without drilling. (The wide bands allow you to do this.)
These shelves can hold up to 20 lbs of shampoo bottles, soap, wet washcloths, etc.. So, you want them to have a strong seal.
I prefer the flat matte finish over shiny chrome because it gives the shower a modern, classy look. Plus, the metal resists corrosion, tarnishing and scratches. And, with a 2-pack, you can save money. =)
