Bathtubs are like beds: if they are messy, they affect the feeling of the whole room. When a tub is showing signs of wear, nothing you do to the rest of the room will make its primary object seem any better. Replacing the bathtub may be out of reach for your wallet, but there are other options that are less expensive.

Keeping the Bathroom Mold Free with Acrylic Bath Surrounds

Acrylic Bath Surrounds as a Prominent Solution to Mold
Most people don’t know that mold can actually be detrimental to your; and so are far from being a merely unsightly phenomenon. The smell from sizable colonies isn’t at all healthy to breathe; particularly from the kinds of surfaces that seem almost tailor-made to house them. An acrylic bath surrounds not just gives your bathroom a bright and morale-boosting look of newness, it also contributes to good health.
Practical and Beautiful – Acrylic Baths are the Way to Go
The tiles and grout combination of most peoples’ bathrooms can look attractive in the beginning, but it is a simple fact that they are prone to mold and mildew buildup, with the geometry actually inviting them in. An acrylic bath surrounds structure, or an acrylic shower stall modification, can allow you to largely dispense with dousing your bathroom surfaces with powerful chemicals that can damage the less resilient surfaces surrounding the intended areas. Acrylic is an inherently tightly-sealed material, and so moisture won’t get in-between it and encourage unseen mold-growth for weeks, unlike tile-and-grout, where the surface mold is almost always evidence of a lengthy term of colonization.
With an acrylic bath surround structure protecting your bathroom from fungal visitors, down-on-the-knees scrubbing, tedious scraping with hard-bristled brushes and harsh bleaching marathons are a thing of the past. A simple cleanser and water softener will work in tandem with the powerfully-repellant surface itself, to ensure that mold stays away. Little additional things, such as opening your bathroom windows or setting the bathroom in-built fan to run after a shower for a few minutes will aid the defense against mold; as will not allowing them to fester in the darkness by keeping the lights on during your shower and airing-out process. Mold can easily be a thing of the past once these things are in place; and you can enjoy relaxing baths in your acrylic tub.

Quick Bathroom Updates in Time for the Holidays
Posted by Cory Krager on Tue, Dec 20, 2011 @ 09:12 AM
During the holidays there is nothing quite like the fresh and clean feeling you get after sprucing up your bathroom. It's that feeling you get from the scent of new linens hanging by the sink or the look of fresh paint on the walls. Imagine the feeling of stepping into a new shower or tub without seeing old, dull and worn tile. It's the feeling that comes from seeing "New" where before there was just Old.

Acrylic bathroom systems can save you money—both short and long term savings!
Posted by Rich Inocencio on Mon, Feb 14, 2011 @ 07:25 PM
In today’s difficult economy, people go to great lengths to save money, even if only a few bucks. I happen to be in this group of “savvy” spenders, and over the years, I’ve learned to calculate savings on a short term and long term scale. For instance, if a product has a really low price tag, I consider the quality of the item and if it will need to be updated or replaced frequently. Often, a low cost item can cost you more in the long-run. However, expensive products can also cost more to maintain—and they don’t necessarily mean high quality. When I find high quality, low-maintenance, and low priced products, I know I’ve hit the jackpot.
