TORONTO -- Replace a little-used bathtub with a safe, spacious walk-in shower without breaking the bank – or breaking down tile walls.

 The Ciencia™ solid surface shower wall and base system from American Standard can be easily installed in just about any bathroom with a simple glue-up installation over existing tile, concrete, or sheetrock. For a more custom fit, Ciencia can readily be cut with a power saw.

The Ciencia solid surface shower walls, offered in a wide array of sizes, are available in four attractive colors and five different tile patterns to beautifully coordinate with the style of any bathroom. Colors are: soft white, linen, aurora and beach sand. Available tile patterns include: diamond, 6” x 24” subway tile, 12” square tile, 8”x10” tile, and smooth.

Matching solid surface shower bases with an integral trench drain are offered in a variety of sizes, in addition to both low and zero thresholds. These solid surface bases, which come with removable drain covers, are conveniently installable directly over subfloors.

Also offered are acrylic-capped bases featuring bright white, high-gloss, slip-resistant surfaces, all in low-threshold styles for easy access in and out of the shower.

Cleaning and maintaining the Ciencia shower wall and base system is a breeze as well: the non-porous surfaces are designed to be easy to clean. Furthermore, the surface color runs through the thickness of the material, so stains and scratches can simply be sanded away.

Suggested list prices for the Ciencia solid surface shower walls range from $875 to $1,225, the solid surface shower bases range from $1,000 to $1,430, and the acrylic-capped base ranges from $670 to $875, all depending on size and style.
