What Shower Wall Material Does Shugarman’s Bath Install?

Shugarman’s Bath installs an acrylic copolymer wall called BP-Cor2. BP-Cor2 is nonporous and long-lasting, resisting cracking, staining, and mold growth. It lasts for 30+ years.

What Is BP-Cor2 Made Of, and Why Does Shugarman’s Bath Install It?

BP-Cor2 is made of 85% ABS and 15% co-extruded acrylic. ABS is the same impact-resistant material used in car bumpers and football helmets. The 85% ABS is what gives BP-Cor2 its strength and flexibility. The co-extruded acrylic outer layer protects the color and design. This combination of materials lets BP-Cor2 flex with your home’s daily hot-and-cold water cycles.

Here are the reasons Shugarman's Bath installs BP-Cor2:

• It's non-porous. The surface doesn't soak up water, soap scum, or bacteria the way grout or fiberglass can.
• It's flexible. BP-Cor2 can bend around corners. Installers can create smooth, rounded edges instead of gluing on trim pieces. Fewer seams means fewer places for water to get behind your walls.
• It's durable. BP-Cor2 resists cracking and holds its appearance for 30 years or more. It performs better than materials like tile, fiberglass, and standard acrylic.

Are BP-Cor2 Shower Walls Low-Maintenance?

BP-Cor2 shower walls are not only low-maintenance, but they’re some of the best-performing low-maintenance shower wall materials.

Cleaning is as simple as running a squeegee over the walls after your shower or wiping them down with mild soap and water. You don’t need to clean the materials with harsh chemicals or heavy scrubbing.

The co-extruded layer protects the design. A light scratch can be buffed out. Five or ten years from now, your shower walls should look as good as they did on day one.

What Design Options Come With BP-Cor2 Shower Walls?

BP-Cor2 comes in 500 to 600 color and style combinations. You have plenty of room to mix and match the material with your bathroom’s look.

One popular option is laser-etching grout lines into the design to give it a tile look without the high maintenance. The laser-etched lines are nonporous, meaning they don’t need to be scrubbed or resealed.
