Love the shower walls. What are they made of? Granite? Marble?

7 years ago

I am remodeling our master bath and can't find a product for the shower walls that doesn't look cheap and plastic. Vendors say I can't use quartz or granite because they will be too big and heavy. Did you use marble?

Hello @Mary Gamble,

If the slab type materials are too heavy for your space, another option to consider are thinner porcelain slabs that Pental offers called PentalTek

It's great that you have good professionals in your area guiding you if they are voicing concern about the size & weight.

Best of luck with your project!
