How To Choose The Right Material For Your Commercial Shower Floors & Walls

Everlast® Epoxy vs Neverlast Flooring Episode 7

Are you a facility manager that is trying to get away from using tile on your shower floors and walls? Although tile can be beautiful to look at, it presents many challenges when it comes to practical use in a high-traffic area, such as a swimming pool shower room.

Broken or washed out grout lines, height differences between tiles that create dips for water to stand on, and poorly sealed drains are unfortunately a common issue with tiles in commercial settings, even when experienced tile setters are hired to install the tiles.

Tiles are naturally porous and even if you add a layer of waterproof sealant on top of them, it wears off, allowing water to be absorbed by the tiles. Once you have water underneath the tile, it will degrade the thinset holding it down and eventually pop the tile up.
There Are Many Commercial Bathroom And Shower Systems
To Choose From And Not All Of Them Are Equal

When it comes to marketing, it’s easy to say that your material or your flooring system works or it is the best. It’s just a matter of writing a few words and making a claim that your floors are waterproof and they will last.

But, how long will they last? How long until the waterproof top coat comes off and anything goes?

When it comes to options for commercial bathrooms and shower areas, there are many to choose from. But, not every option is a good option.

Let’s look at Prefabricated shower units.

They need to be accurately measured and manufactured. And if you have many shower units, they might not all be exactly the same size. Not all contractors are 100% accurate in measuring dimensions.

So, you need to measure each one individually to confirm the size.

That can add a lot of time to the project. For many facilities, like in schools, university dorms or elderly care homes, you can’t afford for the project to take too long or be delayed.

And don’t forget, with prefabricated shower units, you have seams all over the place. These areas can turn into problem areas. Drains are another problem area. You should always confirm they are still intact and that they won’t leak.

Next up are tiles.

When it comes to slip resistance, tiles are not always the best option. Although there are slip-resistant tiles, the top material can wear off over time and turn into a smooth surface.

And like we touched on before, they are porous and require a skilled installer to place them down properly.

That’s where problems show up if the tile setter is not experienced, like tiles popping up or tiling around the drain isn’t done properly and the seal is incomplete.
With The Everlast® Epoxy System, You Can Completely
Seal Your Shower Rooms From Moisture.

Our system can go up walls and it’s a seamless system. Our epoxy shower wall coating has been troweled up to 8 feet onto walls.

We’ve even done ceilings.

Because Everlast® Epoxy shower floor coating is a resin-rich troweled-on system, it creates a permanent bond between the Everlast® Floor system and the substrate below.

You don’t need a second tier waterproofing membrane underneath. In fact, we don’t recommend that you do that at all.

Everlast® Floor is a liquid system… so it creates a tight seal around each drain.

Also, our flooring system can have anti-slip components added to the mixture. You can add more components in places you expect a lot of traffic AND water to be present, like in the shower area, and less in areas like the dressing room.

And if you have old tiles already on your shower floors and walls, you can easily install the Everlast® Epoxy system over top. You just scuff the tiles up and then trowel Everlast® Floor over.

No more spending lots of money on demolition work.

It’s quick to install.

A recent certified dealer of ours took on a 150 unit project. Each unit had a shower and toilet inside it. They finished the project in under a month, doing around 6-8 units each day.
Always Do Your Own Research First Before Deciding On Which System To Put On Your Commercial Shower Floors & Walls

Needless to say, I am biased towards my own flooring system. But for a good reason.

That doesn’t mean that I want you to blindly follow my advice. I always encourage my customers to do their own research and compare options.

That being said...

We here at Everlast® Epoxy firmly believe that we have the right solution for your needs. We can confidently say this because many of our past clients have been commercial shower facilities, dorm rooms, aquatic centers and gyms.
