Solid Surface Showers in Connecticut | Low-Maintenance & Stylish

Discover why homeowners across Connecticut are switching to solid surface showers. Learn about durability, design options, and easy cleaning from the experts at Legnos Homes.

What Is a Solid Surface Shower?

A solid surface shower is made from non-porous, engineered stone panels - typically a blend of natural minerals and high-performance resin.Unlike tile, which has grout lines that collect dirt and mold, solid surface walls create a seamless, watertight surface that looks luxurious and is effortless to maintain.

At Legnos Homes, we install several top solid surface brands such as Onyx, Samuel Mueller, Swanstone, Syn-Mar, Sentrel and More, giving homeowners a beautiful, long-lasting shower that fits their budget and design style.

1. Easy to Clean - No Grout, No Hassle

One of the biggest complaints homeowners have about traditional tile showers is grout maintenance. Over time, grout absorbs moisture, stains, and can grow mildew. Solid surface panels eliminate this issue completely. With just a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, your shower looks brand new — no harsh scrubbing or re-sealing required.

2. Built to Last for Decades

Solid surface materials are engineered for durability. They resist chips, cracks, and fading - even in high-use bathrooms.Unlike fiberglass surrounds that can yellow or flex, solid surface panels are dense and rigid, giving a premium “stone-like” feel without the weight or cost of real stone.

Many systems, like The Onyx Collection, even offer lifetime warranties, giving homeowners long-term peace of mind.

3. Endless Design Options

Solid surface showers come in dozens of colors, textures, and finishes - from smooth, glossy marble patterns to subtle matte stone looks.Whether you prefer a modern minimalist feel or a warm, natural tone, there’s a finish that perfectly complements your bathroom.

At Legnos Homes, we help you select the best combination of wall color, trim, niche, and shower base for a cohesive, designer look.

4. Quick Installation & Predictable Costs

Unlike tile showers that can take a week or more to install, solid surface systems are typically completed in just a few days. Panels are custom-cut to your space and installed over waterproof backing, minimizing demolition time and disruption in your home.

Because these systems are pre-manufactured, costs are also predictable and easy to quote - ideal for homeowners who want a stress-free remodel experience.

5. Perfect for Accessibility & Aging-in-Place

Solid surface showers are also great for homeowners looking for mobility-friendly solutions. Options like low-threshold shower bases, built-in seats, and grab bar reinforcement can be added seamlessly - providing safety without sacrificing style.

This makes solid surface showers one of the best choices for aging-in-place renovations in Connecticut.
