Seamless Style and Effortless Care: Why Single-Panel Showers Are the Future of Bathroom Design.

For years, the word "insert shower" might have conjured up images of basic, builder-grade bathrooms. But at Ekon Bath, we're changing that narrative. We believe your shower should be a sanctuary, a seamless extension of your personal style, and a space built for lasting beauty and ease. That's why we're excited to introduce you to the Onyx Collection and the remarkable advantages of single-panel shower systems.




You might have some questions about single-panel showers, and we're here to answer them:


Question 1: "Single-panel showers look cheap and generic. How can they be part of a luxurious bathroom design?"

That's a common misconception, and the Onyx Collection shatters it. Forget the sterile, boxy inserts of the past. Today's single-panel systems, especially Onyx, offer incredible design versatility. They come in a wide array of colors, textures, and styles, mimicking the look of natural stone, tile, or even custom patterns. With Ekon Bath's design expertise, we can seamlessly integrate a single-panel shower into a luxurious bathroom, complementing your chosen fixtures, tile, and overall aesthetic. Think sleek, modern lines, elegant curves, and a continuous surface that elevates the entire space.


Question 2: "I've heard single-panel systems are prone to leaks. Is that true, and what makes the Onyx Collection different?"

Leakage is a valid concern with some shower systems, particularly those with multiple panels and seams. However, the Onyx Collection is engineered for a lifetime of leak-proof performance. Because it's a single, solid surface, there are no grout lines or seams where water can penetrate. In fact, Onyx confidently offers a lifetime guarantee against leaks, giving you unparalleled peace of mind. This superior construction eliminates a major source of bathroom headaches and ensures your shower remains beautiful and functional for decades.


Question 3: "How easy are single-panel showers to clean and maintain compared to tiled showers with grout lines?"

This is where single-panel systems truly shine. Say goodbye to endless scrubbing and harsh chemicals! The non-porous surface of Onyx is incredibly easy to clean with just water and vinegar. No more battling stubborn grout stains or mold and mildew buildup. This low-maintenance advantage is a major selling point for busy homeowners who want a beautiful bathroom without the constant upkeep. Plus, the mold and mildew-resistant properties of Onyx contribute to a healthier and more hygienic bathroom environment.


Question 4: "Can I really customize a single-panel shower to fit my personal style, or am I limited to a few basic options?"

Absolutely! The Onyx Collection offers a remarkable range of design possibilities. Beyond the diverse colors and textures, you can customize the size, shape, and configuration of your shower. Add built-in shelving, benches, or niches to create a personalized and functional space. And with Ekon Bath's expertise, we'll work closely with you to design a shower that perfectly reflects your taste and complements your overall bathroom design. We believe your shower should be as unique as you are.


Question 5: "Are single-panel showers a long-term investment? Will they last, and are they worth the cost compared to traditional tile?"

Single-panel showers, especially the Onyx Collection, are designed for longevity. Their durable construction and lifetime leak-proof guarantee make them a wise long-term investment. While the initial cost might be comparable to high-end tile, the long-term benefits of low maintenance, leak prevention, and lasting beauty often make them a more cost-effective choice. Plus, the peace of mind that comes with a lifetime guarantee is priceless. With Ekon Bath, you're not just getting a shower; you're getting a lasting investment in your home and your well-being.
