If you’re tired of the look and maintenance hassle of ceramic tile and grout joints you’re not alone! While tile is still very popular, for those wanting low maintenance, contemporary kitchen and bath designs are steering towards new choices like high gloss acrylic walls. Learn more below about this product and its top 5 benefits.
What are high gloss acrylic walls and where are they used? – High gloss acrylic wall panels are 5/32” thick, have a high gloss mirrored finish (much like back painted glass) with an integrated fused color layer. This material is coated with a micro-hard coat outer layer for scratch resistance and comes in a variety of sizes (including 39” x 96” x 60” x 72”, 36” x 60” and 42” x 60”). They are used most frequently in kitchen backsplashes and tub and shower wall surrounds.

These walls panels have many benefits but I’ll outline the top 5 here.

How resistant to hard water stains is high gloss acrylic? We have a softener and filter, but over time we have seen reddish stains on sinks and in toilets etc.
Jacqueline – we can certainly help you with this from our high gloss acrylic line. Feel free to call us at 877-668-5888 and we can go over pricing. Thanks – Mike
Kristi – good question. I would budget about $2,700 to $2,900 for high gloss shower wall panels to fill a 60 x 36 x 96 sized space including shipping. You can use the same backer board system as you use behind other acrylic wall panels.
